  1. Digital Download is a Ripoff and Lie


    So I purchased a Halo 5 Xbone edition, was really happy I got it a week early, was a little turned off by the lack of physical game copy, but didn't pay it no mind because I had a week to download the game.

    Now before I go on I live in Guam, which is a US territory, that is a day ahead of the US mainland, same timeframe as northern Australia.

    Today about 3 hours ago, Halo 5 launched, Gamestop hosting big midnight releases and people picking up physical copies of the game to immediately play their game.

    Low and behold, here I am, with my digital game and it still telling me I have to wait until 10/27/15 to access it, funny thing is, in my Region the one I specified on my xbox it is 10/27/15, it's 2:55am in fact that time. Yet I'm still unable to play my freaking
    game.

    I contacted customer support, not once but twice, the first time I was told (it was midnight when I contacted them) that it would be available at 2am my time, but no game access still, I contact again and this time they just tell me a vague answer that I'llb
    e able to play today.

    WELL NO CRAP I CAN PLAY TODAY, 5PM MY TIME IS FREAKING MIDNIGHT RELEASE STATESIDE.

    It's just frustrating that as a Microsoft customer, that has paid more for their game than those who just got physical copies, is being treated as a second class citizen.

    I really dont care the reason why I cant access my game, bottom line is, if you're allowing a region to have physical copies of the game distributed let the people who buy directly from you the same perks, or dont make false promises.

    I feel like I've wasted money, I would've been better off buying a used console and a physical copy.

    :)

  2. Reduced Price Digital Download?

    Digital is a ripoff. I have BF4 for £42 from Amazon UK and COD:G for £44. The price on Xbox live will be £55. Why would I want to pay that when I can't even trade the digital copy in if I don't want it any more. Digital games shouldn't cost more than £35.

    Xbox told me, it was gta5 was going to be released on the market, yesterday. Liars they are

    I know, rockstar hasn't said anything on it being a digital download, but why does that mean xbox has to lie and say the 27th. Why did xbox not get it on release date. its so wrong. This is going to be game of the year, yet they want to lie. I called today
    and the guy told me, this was just to tell the fans, to stop complaining. Xbox is are greedy. Rockstar has to be bias.

    Suddenly getting 0x82D40007 on one game, the rest work fine.

    So I would have to pay for it a third time? (once on the PC, once for the disc for the xbox, and a third time for digital)? Pure ripoff. It should be fixed.

    Digital & Retail size

    I'm sure there'll be a way to give up rights to your digital games in exchange for credit to use in the Xbox Store, but that's probably in the distant future and it'll probably be a ripoff anyway.
