While I'm not one to complain about the ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS PRICES OF MUSIC/RHYTHM GAMES, I am a man of fairness. And unlike Activision, I believe in equal opportunity when it comes to access to video games (yes, even the worst games deserve a chance to be hated by everyone). In the case of DJ Hero, the newest peripheral-infested game from everyone's favorite massively profitable publisher, where you live may affect how much you pay.

Those living in the UK will have to shell out an extra $57 over those living in the US. The official retail price for the UK at release will be 108 GBP or $177 compared to the US release price of $120 or 73 GBP.

The unequal treatment of young virtual British DJs has not been taken lightly here at Joystick Division HQ. We are currently rallying our European brothers for a protest later on in the week.
