  1. Any reason why Xbox One games cost more than PS store games during the Easter Sales?


    I tend to buy my digital games on Xbox and games in general but this time was looking through the PS store and the same games are £3-5 cheaper there, same game, same publishers ect so why do they cost more on Xbox during the same sale?

    :)

    getting rather pissed of with xbox online now as games still cost more than they do in store which I feel is ripping us off as one they don thave production charges on the game or shipping costs on the game so whis ww2 55quid on store but 43 pound in game!

  3. Honestly, this guy is spot on. Its too expensive.

    The reason PS3 sales were abysmal during launch was because it cost $200 more than the Xbox 360 and came out an entire year after. This time the Xbox One is only $100 more and both consoles will release within the same time-frame so no problem.

    Pre-Ordering Digital Games

    Maybe you couldn't care less, but millions of gamers do. Microsoft, as a business, is trying to make money. They won't purposely do something to get less money. They also have access to a large amount of data and can predict sale projections based on a number
    of scenarios.

    The internet infrastructure isn't there yet to fully support digital, and that's a big reason why people buy discs. Microsoft isn't avoiding going digital, as they have all the games available on the Xbox Store on release date.

    Games are costing more money to make, and are cheaper than any other part in time. N64 games could cost $80+ based on the game, and that was back in the 90s! Game prices have stayed mostly static for the past decade or two.

    It seems like you haven't played Ryse, so I wouldn't trash it unless you've tried it; it is a fun hack and slash action game. The biggest reason why games go on sale are to get more sales, so yes, that is probably a reason, but it did sell fairly well.

    xbox live gold

    In a nutshell, Because servers cost money to run and maintain. The Xbox Live Gold subscription also provides more benefits that essentially recoup the cost of the subscription over a period of time. There are the monthly Games with Gold as well as weekly
    discounts on games in the store and additional savings during seasonal/special sales.

    Titanfall X360 on demand?

    To me just seems another tactic to try sell more xbox ones, there's is no logical reason why a hard copy would play any better than a digital copy! Surely you would of though EA would have been more pro digital sales of the game giving them more profit rather
    than getting no profit from a secondhand market via re-sales of hard copies!

    why cant i buy the orange box?

    The game has been removed from sale on the 360 store and was never in the One store

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-360/store/xbox-360-marketplace-update

    You’ll have to talk to Valve about any reasons why, or possible returns. They are the ones I; control.
