Has anyone been noticing your paying more for a game edition?

Hi RuzzW16, thanks for sharing this. It's understandable to feel frustrated.

Paying more for a special edition should come with the value that was promised, like a digital art book or soundtrack. When those aren’t accessible, it can feel like you didn’t get what you paid for.

Let’s go through a couple of things you can do:

Step 1: Check for the Missing Content

First, try these locations to see if the extras are hidden somewhere:

Go to My games & apps, select the game, then Manage game and add-ons. See if the content is listed under “Installed” or “Ready to install.”

Open the in-game menu, some extras like art books or soundtracks are only available from inside the game.

Visit the game’s Microsoft Store page, scroll down, and check what’s included in the edition you bought.

If it’s not showing up in any of those areas, you might be eligible for a refund.

Step 2: Request a Refund

You can request a refund from Microsoft using this link:

Make sure to explain:

Which edition you bought

What content was missing

That it was part of the advertised bundle

Refunds are reviewed case by case, so while it’s not guaranteed, missing advertised content is a strong reason.

If the game was bought through a third-party store (like Amazon or GameStop), you’ll need to contact them directly.

If you tell me which game and edition this was for, I can help check what was supposed to be included.

Let me know if you'd like help with that.

you should contact the developers of the game ask them how they want you to access those assets,

Have you looked under manage game?

As it has been "years" none of these games will be eligible for a refund

[quote user="BlackSilverAce"]So, that initial spinning is new anti-piracy measures?[/quote]

Yes, this is correct. It is due in part to the new Anti-Piracy Format on the Disc itself and "how" the Xbox 360 reads the Disc.

I'm sorry for those of you who did not participate in the Preview program but this what brought up many times.

Yeah I found that out after installing, deleting and re-installing all three of Rage's discs- about three times lol.

So, that initial spinning is new anti-piracy measures?

Yes, many people have noticed it. It is due to the New Anti-Piracy Format of the Disc. It's normal behavior for the Xbox 360 with any new Disc with this Format. It should not continue to spin though, if it does try Deleting the
Game and Installing it again.

Short story, spins for a minute or so equals "normal". Continues to spin long after (2 minutes and up), it is not "normal".
