Prices
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
hey, it's worked great for them so far.AnEternalEnigma said:Wow, these prices are absolutely ridiculous.
360 Games on Demand and Avatar Marketplace are nothing more than social experiments to see how many people don't value their money.
it is cheaper for them to distribute digitally, so the savings should pass to the consumer with lower prices. lower prices should increase sales, resulting in a mutual benefit.OldJadedGamer said:They are priced like that for the convenience factor. Sure, I can get a six pack of beer at the grocery store for $6.99 and drive there, wait in line, drive all the way back... or I can walk out of the door in my PJ's and walk around the corner to the liquor store and get a six pack for $9.99. Personally, I'm willing to pay for convenience but not in this case but I bet there are a lot of folks that will.

Bioshock - $49.95AUD / 3000MSP Roughly same as retail, but now there's a 2K double with Oblivion for this price
Call of Duty 2 - $49.95AUD / 3000MSP lol, but then again, you can't really find this title anymore
Mass Effect - $99.95AUD / 6000MSP MASSIVE lol. I bought this for $65 a week after it came out
Oblivion - $49.95AUD / 3000MSP see Bioshock
Viva Pianta - $29.95AUD / 1800MSP About right. I THINK you can find it for $15-$20

yeah, but i was just pointing out how stupid it is to justify "convenience fees." hence me replying with a quote to another post.Peronthious said:There's this thing called retail. And another thing called bitching.
Same reason the PSP Go! is so expensive.
Rlan said:Bioshock - $45.98AUD at JB Hifi (or as a double pack with Oblivion for $49 at Game.com.au)
Call of Duty 2 - Only available preowned - $19.95AUD at EBGames

hopefully this will deter those without knowledge away from a purchaseConflict NZ said:I think this is what we should do, it's really the only feedback method available to us through Xbox Live, we could make some noise on the preview program forums as well I guess.
honeycut1 said:This is bullshit. Why pay $10 more for a digital copy that puts more limits on how I can use the game.
I was hoping the games would at least the same price as retail or even some what cheaper.
OldJadedGamer said:Your profile says you live in the US. In the US the prices for DD are the exact same as the retail prices for the same games.
MikeE21286 said:well not all of them....Call of Duty 2 costs $29.99 on XBL GoD while you can even grab CoD2 GotY edition for $12.99 used at Gamestop
Chrange said:You're comparing a new price to a used price? Seriously?
Amazon's 'buy new' price for CoD2 is $35. The used price starts at $6, why not shoot for that instead? :lol

Mass Effect is 6.83gbNZNova said:How big is the download for Mass Effect? I'll just use half of my 20 gig monthly allowance to download it and store it on my lovely cheap 120 gig 360 hard drive...
DeadGzuz said:Maybe the MSRP, but not the street price. These prices are LOL.
OldJadedGamer said:He didn't say street price in his post. Again, I have yet to see someone give me a link to a retail site where they are selling these games as new for less than what is up on the site. The OP says "way over retail".
I'm not saying it's right and I personally won't buy any of them myself but I'm just being logical here and want to know where people are seeing all these new prices on these games for so cheap.
MikeE21286 said:And also, why not use used game prices......there's no differentiation between new and used with DD
but yeah, if I really wanted to make it look bad I shoulda just went with that Amazon used price you just quoted.

xbhaskarx said:
The price for CoD2 new on Amazon is currently $34.49. Games on Demand has it for $30.
You really think they should base it on used game prices from Amazon? Someone could go on Amazon right now and list a used copy of CoD2 for 1 cent. So then Games on Demand should only charge 1 cent?
xbhaskarx said:Look I'm not suggesting anyone buy CoD2 for $30, but I'm guessing Microsoft are basing their prices on how much these games go for new on Amazon, and at stores like Gamestop, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy.
If anyone wants to buy a used copy for $5, they can always do that.
If anyone wants to get a much better deal on a new copy from newegg, they can always do that.
