Kandrick said:Wow.... the prices are all over the place. Basically, if you arent in the US, dont even bother with this service.
I must be mistaken then. I was sure they had higher tax rates or something like that.Kandrick said:No, its the same price as rest of europe as far as RRP go.

I'll add them to the op/
Kifimbo said:What's the source for the prices ? I see nothing but Xbox games on Marketplace website.
Alex said:Some folks may be against used games, but when all publishers try to do is nickel and dime you, even the smallest ones, I have a hard time understanding why.
BenjaminBirdie said:Because standards for disc condition in most used outlets are lower than the lowest sub-basement below the Baxter Building?
Kryten said:I'm pretty sure you can't use points here, it looks like credit card only at this stage.
BenjaminBirdie said:I don't understand this logic at all. How are retail prices supposed to compete with used prices and how is it MS' fault if/when they don't?
Alex said:Then that's what you get for buying at "used outlets" instead of online where you can verify the condition and completion of the package.
Brakara said:Check again. After selecting a game for purchase, but before confirming, you have the option to use points instead (by pressing Y). All others have this option, so I'm sure you have it as well.
Also, Gowans, you forgot to include my Norwegian prices. See post#9.
Kryten said:I'm pretty sure you can't use points here, it looks like credit card only at this stage. Points purchased direct (i.e. not off a card) are 16.5c each here (ironically, this makes our "Microsoft Dollar" better value overall), so they work out too approximately (excuse my potentially dodgy math)
COD2 4200
Oblivion 3000
Mass Effect 6000
Viva Pinata 1800
Bioshock 3000
ZealousD said:Easy, the price is lowered.
There's no manufacturing cost here. The difference between new and used prices is usually only a couple bucks. DD should be cheaper than retail. This is not cheaper. This is more expensive.
ZealousD said:Please tell me you're smarter than this. Please.
If you can't verify the "completion of the package" and the disc condition at your local GameStop than you must be blind.
Barry Lightning said:i dont give a fuck about the prices.
this is one step closer to getting day-1 retail releases digitally. so whatever.

_leech_ said:Yeah, and judging by these inflated prices you'll be looking at $75 for new releases.
xbhaskarx said:If people want to get the prices down, this is a big step in the right direction.
Step 2 is to have Sony also offer a large number of games on demand over PSN. Prices will drop with competition, and eventually we'll also start getting games closer to their retail release date.
Barry Lightning said:i thought you knew: there's transportation and freight charges on digital releases.
and guys, like many things this generation: you better just take this shit up the ass and shut the fuck up. ok? this is next gen.
