    Store games priced very unfairly


    Im just wondering why some games are priced like this, for instance, battlefield 1 early enlister edition on the US Store is 80 dollars (which is roughly 70euro) but if i want to preorder it its 90 euro.

    Also why with the deals with gold, do the US get 85% off battlefield hardline for example, while where i am we only get 75% off.

    The way i see it is we are all paying for the same service so why should there be that much of a difference in prices across countrys?

    :)

    Black friday in Russia.

    Unfairly. Putin finished badly - even in the store sanctions against Russia.

    Games over Priced On Live

    I have been looking to buy a game on line, but seeing that the game is 20$ over priced compared to buying it at a store. Why is that does anyone know why Microsoft over prices there games.

    Diablo 3 at Walmart in my town is 39.99 and in the on line store it's priced 59.99 is there are reason why it's over priced. I like shopping on the Microsoft store it's better then going out.

    Store games priced very unfairly

    From what I understand is that in the beginning way back when the games were being priced the normal $60 was converted into other currencies. Since at the time certain currencies were stronger or weaker than what they are right now. For example in australia
    when the first games came out the aussie dollar was weak so it was about $100. This then became the standard for prices in Australia. This is most likely the case where you live.

    About the games with golds deals I can only guess that it may have to do with licensing or those certain publishers want to increase the american community for their game while there maybe a strong community for battlefield hardline in Europe.

    The new store is garbage

    I don't really disagree with you.

    The issue is that online gaming is over-priced and in many cases the only way to get the complete content for the game, therefore pressuring people into buying digital when they don't want to.

    It robs people of choice and manipulates pricing, potentially unfairly and undermines games by devaluing them at the same time as over-charging for them.

    Premium didn't carry over

    Mine worked fine.

    Have you checked in the in game store and downloaded premium for the xbox one? Highlight premium in the in game store and it should let you buy it but the price should be zero.

    it's very important to use the in game store and not the xbox one store on the dashboard.

    Why are Xbox One games 70$ instead of 60$?

    New Zealander here and we pay anywhere from $99 (on sale) to $109 or $119. Prices very from store to store of course so there are probably higher prices than that somewhere.
