    Cost of games


    Why do games on xbox live Australia cost twice as much as they do in the US? I went onto the xbox.com/us website by accident and tried to buy a game - currently bioshock infinite currently on sale for $10. When I double checked the sale price it was actually
    $23 for the australian region.

    All other games - sale or no - have similar price discrepancies. Why? There are no distribution costs online and the australian dollar is close to parity with the US dollar.

    Why double the cost?

    :)

    Hi, are you referring to the DLC for a game? If so buying a game grants you access to the original content only, not any additional content sold separately. I am sorry to hear you are unsatisfied with your purchase, however it is made clear what content
    comes with the game and what content is available for additional download.

    Why do I have to pay for a incomplete game? You charge for the game and you force me to buy the courses that I want to play. why can't you come up with a price that includes all the courses. I don't think its right you offer 20 courses but you don't us
    we have to pay extra if we want to play them.

    thank you,

    Game Cost.

    It costs pennies to press discs. The packaging is a minor part of the cost of the game. But I see your point. One you are seeing retail and the other is what MS is charging you. Retail outlets usually by in quantity. MS will try to charge as much as they
    can for it. Buy retail unless online is cheaper.

    If your talking about Tiger Woods, then this game is from a 3rd party publisher, in this case it's EA games, you should really speak to them about it.
