    Game Cost.


    Ok, so I thought that Xbox One games on the store would have price parity with the disc based version, or be cheaper due to no brick an mortor store, disc pressing, packaging etc.

    Titanfall in Game is only £44.99 and has been since launch. So why is the download version from Xbox £54.99? £10 more but with no packaging, transport etc? Are there other games this has happened to?

    And is it possible to buy the season pass on Xbox.com for Titanfall on Xbox One?

    :)

    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.

    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.
