    How prevent Host Lag 99% of the time!

    60 fps on my 32 inch samsung 720p. Using a 32 is a bit large but i'll take it since I did play on a 60 fps 1080p 24 inch toshiba which was just fine. I do want a 26 inch samusung like the ones you see used at electronic stores/gamestop paired with the xbox
    360.

  3. An increase in price

    Hi,

    Firstly, generally speaking, publishers sell their digital versions for higher prices on the Xbox Live Store. This is so that Microsoft and the game publishers don't tread on the toes of retail stores. After all, Microsoft relies on these stores to help
    sell it's consoles.

    Secondly, you're not taking tax (or VAT) into consideration. In the U.S, the price displayed on the store page on the Xbox Marketplace, isn't the final price. A $60 game isn't a $60 game at checkout. The tax is added later, plus it varies, from state to
    state. A currency conversion won't help with this omission.

    VAT in Norway is 25% is it not? I'm from the United Kingdom, so you're paying 5% more VAT on your game purchases than I am as here it's 20%. I'm pretty sure, like mine, your Xbox Store shows prices including VAT.

    BFBC2, Halo Reach, Dead Island, Sleeping Dogs - All for free and not exactly games that I would call naff !

    And as Owen has said, if you`re not happy with the on-line price just go and buy elsewhere.

    While I do agree that there should be more price parity, I'm not seeing what particular game is £30 more expensive.

  7. Games are way too expensive on Live even when MS have a sale still silly prices compared to what Sony offer.

    Can't remember last time i bought something off Live, but bought two games off PSN in the last two months. Would buy off Live if they could bring the prices down but is that really going to happen ?
