    Xbox Digital download pricing


    If they went with the original plan before the u turn prices for games would of stayed the same or even possibly gotten more expensive. Before you are quick to correct me I am talking about other regions not the US. Until they can promise cheaper digital
    titles globally and offer more better incentives it will stay a pipe dream..

  2. One reason this generation has driven me back into pc gaming. Steam sales have been amazing so far....i have gotten a ton of games at a fraction of the cost of xbox digital games. I will grab a console again sooner or later for the exclusives.....but
    go pc is my new mantra....if you do not mind picking up older games you missed out on. Consoles need to mimic these sales if they want the general public to embrace digital faster.

    The way I see it...

    *Physical*

    Campaign + Multiplayer = £40

    Campaign = £25

    *Digital*

    Campaign + Multiplayer = £34.99

    Campaign = £20

    £54 for digital game is ridiculous. With that price in mind you can purchase two games probably (physical).

    I always buy the cheapest option, which at the moment is discs. The digital pricing in the UK is a joke. If the physical discs were the same price as digital, my gaming would come to a grinding halt. There is no way i'm going to pay £55-£59 ($94-$101) for
    a standard game. NEVER.

    I understand the costs involved in providing a digital game but it doesn't change the fact that it's too expensive. I really can't imagine that many people buying full price digital versions in the UK. It's a total ripoff.

    i've given up on digital, i don't even check the store anymore there's no point like said in the UK the pricing is ridiculous, 54.99 for titanfall digital or 20 for a pre owned mint condition copy, even brand new its about 35 in the shops now i'd say it's
    a joke but i don't find it that funny.

    I'd go with all this bandwith costs and server maintenance but when i see steam and origin sales on the pc with quality games for a few quid i know they're getting hammered for downloads but that doesn't seem to stop them from keeping digital costs in line
    with store costs, most are a similar price if not cheaper digital someone somewhere has big greedy fingers and there seriously fingering this pie deep.

    I understand they're attempting to take as much money from each person as they can, I really do, its business. But i'm asking as a consumer for Microsoft to have mercy.

    Xbox buyers in the UK have been willing to pay this crazy amount of money because: 1.) They don't know how badly overpriced compared to the rest of the world. 2.) They are FANS and freely admit they like the system and the company because of the memories
    we have of previous systems. 3.) They were attracted by the console that they were promised.

    (I keep feeling the need to make the distinction between the console we were promised and the thing we have been dealing with for the past year)

    At the start of this generation, before the U-turns on Always Online and Family sharing in the name of DRM (which i'm not complaining about) Microsoft was pushing for a digital only future, even with rumours of a console without a disc drive. Why would I
    spend these exuberant amounts of money to digitize my library. Imagine if these U-turns didnt happen and the only way to buy games was online or at rrp (no used games)Family sharing would be necessary because i would litterally have to band together with friends
    and family to buy a game. Near enough $100? i mean come on.

    If you buy a digital game you 1.) Cant trade it in 2.) Cant give it to friends 3.) Might not even like it but you're stuck with it (no give back after a few days or e.g it was the wrong present for a friend) My core motivation lies in the fact that I DO
    want to digitize my library, I WANT to buy more digital download games, I WOULD buy digital games but i simply cant afford it. Im not asking for them to be Cheaper than exchange stores but "competetive pricing" and the simply fact that as digital products
    they shouldnt be as expensive as they are.

    Obsessive Power: I'm blaming Microsoft's because they promised "competitive prices." Also who would you rather me go to? Ubisoft? Also that doesn't stop them reducing the price of Microsoft studios games. E.g Forza and Indies.

    Money:

    I realise that in many cases PS4 is just as bad in terms of digital download prices but thats no excuse, be the first company not to cheat UK players, we already payed $600 for the box that's been gathering dust for a year while you still try to make the
    console you advertised us.

    Not only that but the "Games with Gold" deals and Gold Deals in general have been just pathetic, 25% off of an already crazily priced 6 month old game doesn't make it a good price. compare them to the competition (you know who i'm talking about) and Xbox
    users (especially in the UK but globally in general) are being just as badly milked for money. AND Xbox Music Pass MORE MONEY, i know ps4 is getting similar flak for not letting people play their own music as they could last generation. But thats no reason
    why Xbox shouldn't make this a priority.

    It is horrendous I know, but what can we do? The only option is buy disc and buy digital when its sometimes cheaper.
