Good question!!
nope its 3200 point for xbox only 24.99 for pc and ps3
Thats microsoft for you!
thieving robbing b......
we pay more for game, get worst beta time and now pay more for dlc one way to keep customers happy.
Has anyone even brought the season pass? with the game as laggy as it is i am holding off until/if its fixed
If you shop around for points you can get them cheap
does it matter where you buy points on xbox live store it works out more expensive to buy DLC, but when bought in ps3 store its £2.63 cheaper. when you work it out points to £ they work out roughly the same price.
money is money
@ trip you are right sad to say this but I am with you wont be buying the season pass had such high hopes for this game.
will wait untill they launch and see what they are like and what state the game is in.
owuld like to know what anyone from trion has to say about this.
I would guess its what Microsoft takes as a cut on each transaction,smart and greedy but its been this way for awhile now...surprised you didn't know already
Its like £2 difference. Is it really worth complaining about?
yes if you over pay on this what else are they charging extra/over the top on.Quote:

If you can't afford that maybe you're in the wrong hobby. Its not worth complaining about. With all the real issues in gaming, I dont think this is one to complain about year after year. PSN is free, but imo there is no party chat and no background streaming of music thru xbox music while playing games. Live is worth it to me. I own a PS3 and an XBOX. I game on both equally. Stop using the same old diggs. Its not a ripoff imo. Not at all.Quote:

@airwave you are right but thats a different story to deal with another day.
just dont understand why we should have to hunt around for "deals" on points (which work out the same in most cases),
to purchase (potentially) a DLC that is cheaper on other platforms are we just getting screwed over again same with BETA test "we dont need as long because they have sorted most of xbox issues out" well by state of servers today and last night I think not.
Not me,not yet. I have the MS points in my account but i won't buy the season pass if they don't get this game running smooth enough for me to enjoy it on regular basis.Quote:

it's this pretrty much.. this is why there are no MMOs for Xbox 360.. M$ demands a cut of everything trion does and will do in the future.. and let's not talk about how much trion has to pay M$ for them to put an update in the game.. lolQuote:

Well the last MMO I played on 360.. The GameMaster {GM} told us this.. I honestly think it's true but that's an opinion not fact.. you have to remember Trion is using M$ services to provide the game to us.. Do you honestly think M$ is not going to charge them for it ? think about it for a min .Quote:

They choose the price not Trion, where on PC and PS3 you pay with money not points and the price is up to Trion.

The £2 difference won't matter to the people who have already bought the game and enjoy it, they'll buy it regardless, of course some people such as yourself, Sphinx, will argue the fact of why it's more expensive. I understand that but honestly many things need to be factored into this matter.
Microsoft will always want some sort of cut of the total price, not only that but Microsoft also charge Devs for patch updates to be released on XBL, sure it's greedy but at the end of the day, it's business. It is what it is.
People who use XBL pay a fee to use the service, some people will argue that if we XBL users pay for the right to play online then why can't we have DLC for free or at a reduced price? It's simple, If we did indeed get a reduced price for any piece of DLC even though we pay for the subscription then the PC and PS3 uses will get uptight and quite literally start crying for whatever reason.
This isn't a dig at them, because I fully understand why that would happen and I'm one of those people who think it's total horse**** but again, it's business.
So I'd take it on the chin my friend and deal with it, I mean that with the upmost respect but there's nothing you can do about it, not even if an online petition started, Microsoft will NOT change the pricing because they know people WILL pay at the end of the day and sadly, that's how it's always been, like I said above.
finally someone who put some thought into the answer not just my friends told this....Quote:

Agree you will always get some dumb people who will buy it without playing or paying any attention to game fan/player base reviews. Look at COD and BF series both ruined by "kids" asking for it without thinking about if they have improved at all since last game.
Grimes he's going to demand proof.. don't even try to explain it to him..
you really need to read before you post.Quote:
