Unfair Pricing at XB-Store!! Are you Rubbing your FANS?

Bhutankam Pema · Sep 1, 2014

In Switzerland pricing Metro:

Metro Redux 2033: 19.- CHF

Metro Last Light Redux: 19.-CHF

Metro Redux Bundle: 67.- CHF

19+19=38CHF

67-38= 29.- CHF too much for the Game or are there 3 Games in it.. haha lol...

Recommended Retail Price is 49.90 so this amout is still 17.10 cheaper than the Price in XB-Store

God D..n. for me it seems to be the guys on Store are not very good in math..

Exceppt the Standalone Games have no DLC? but don^t think so..

Or has anybody of you an explanation on that`?

At least yes I could buy the buy the Bundle at Wallmart for cheaper 37.

Game pricing

I agree people need to be paid. My problem is there should be a base price globally before taxes on the price of games.

It just seems unfair that certain country's are paying a lot less than others for the exact same product.

I was also looking at the master chief collection and the pricing is very similar on the Microsoft store in both the UK and US.

Just certain games are significantly at a higher price IE: GTA V .

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having trouble with purchasing a game using your Microsoft Account currency due to the transition from Rubles to USD in your local Xbox Marketplace.
Due to evolving business practices, these products are priced in USD. As CSV was purchased in RUB currency and balances are in RUB currency, it cannot be used to purchase products priced in USD currency. CSV RUB balances can still be used to purchase products
that are priced in RUB.

Microsoft products are still available in your market. The decision to stop Microsoft Store’s offering in Ruble pricing was necessitated by evolving business
practices
.

Hope this helps.

@TrueNord 47: Yes, Exactly thats true. Thank you Bro

@ All Others: Sorry for my strange explanation.

MS please fix that..

I think what you're trying to say is there is a price error in the listing for the metro redux bundle. The price does sound odd as in Australia the bundle price is $51.70 where standalone is $26.95 each. So the bundle works out a few $$ cheaper. But in
Switzerland the bundle is 29(w/e the currency it is) more than what it costs combined for the stand alone games. Obviously an error.

ALL Digital purchases...

What I want to say is not that it should be the same Prices like Retail Disc.

I want to say that you in US pay 24.94 for a Standalone Redux game.

Make that Price double and you get the Price you^ll Need to pay for the Bundle.

In Switzerland the Standalone costes 19.- make that doubled and it is not the sam amount like it is actually listed in XBOX Store 67-38= 29.-

So if I purchase Bundle I will pay 29.-CHF more than the Official recommended Price by Publisher.

And also 29.- more than if I would by the 2 Standalones....

In Both ways I^ll get all DLC.

ALL Digital purchases...

there must be a error or failure in the listings!!!

math works that way(please have a look):

1+1=2

2+2=4

19+19=38

20+20=40

actually the Store makes that.

(1+1)*1.77=2.77

(2+2)*1.77=7.08

(19+19)*1.77=67

We pay 1.77 more for the Bundle than for 2 Standalone GAmes, but there is not diffrence in Content.

Standalone and Bundle Comes with all DLC!

You understand me?
