Physical is £6.99 on amazon.

Virtual is $9.99 on the Googles.

These numbers are the same* number.

*or, close enough, and certainly not a 3x difference; in fact, the physical may even be cheaper, in this instance (I cba to x0.7 to check)

Edit: insanely, it's $14 for paperback in the US amazon, which makes zero sense to me. No wonder nobody in your country can read. This still isn't 3x $9.99 though. And! There are used ones for cheaper, although given your finnecky statements about DRM, I'd imagine you're not down for that.

Or, even better, read Consider Phlebas - Iain M. Banks, which is essentially what HALO based the majority of its content on.

The eccentric AI (Minds in CP), the ship naming conventions, the Covenant (Idiran's in CP), the entire cover art of the book is essentially the first shot of HALO you see etc etc.

Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, although the name might need changing. The Culture is how I hope the future will turn out.

Yeah absolutely fantastic books, paints a strangely compelling view of the future too. Definitely should be our goal to reach something like that (and gosh, I'm very right wing, and it's basically a communist utopia).

Edit: If you're new to them, start with Consider Phlebas
