  2. Region and prices europe

    Great that it is possible bow that we can use our own region and still get everything in english. But please make the experience the same as the us region. For example why am I missing the whats on tab?

    Whybare the prices so insane high for a new game in the store in europe? €70 For digital games thats crazy. If you wanna win some fans back in Europe fix those insane prices pls.

    Loving the xbox brand but pls try to give us the same experience as the ppl in the usa. Thx and keep up the great work.

    not here in OZ mate, and the digital version is the game only not the season pass i think its a bit much asking that many $$$ a digital game should cost the same no matter which country you are playing it in!

    Digital price is insane

    Microsoft had the chance to change rules, like Jobbs/Apple did with Itune (and like Steam is doing with pc games)

    They had to be brave enough to set digital copies price at 15/20% less than hard copy (No dvd printing costs, no transports costs, no distribution costs, no shop costs etc etc).

    .

    Doing this, they know, meant start a war with big customers like Gamestop.

    Microsft had this in mind in may 2013, when they presented their project for One.

    .

    Market reaction scared them and anything went back to were we were used.

    A great occasion been lost.

    Yep I love the couple of digital games I have and would be stoked to go full digital swapping between games is great. But there is no justification for the prices.

    It will be hard copy for me.

    It can't be just greed!

    It would be greed if digital would costs like dvd.

    But if it costs 10,00 Euros more.. is insanity?!

    Or i don't know what.

    There is no logical reason for that.
     
  13. Digital price is insane

    yes there is a logical reason, greed and trying to stuff their coffers with as much as they can
