Default Games On Demand Prices.

It is being disccused on a few other forums about NZs pricing for G.O.D and we can all see why, so far announced for us....

BioShock - $49.95 - 3000 MSP
Call of Duty 2 -$69.95 - 4400 MSP
Mass Effect - $99.95 - 6000 MSP
Oblivion - $49.95 - 3000 MSP
Viva Pinata - $29.95 - 1800 MSP

these prices are BAD what are m$ thinking with this?


Discuss.

Thieves. I personally wouldn't buy any games on demand. Zero resale value.

Or get free door to door delivery as often available somehow.

And have a physical entity that can be gifted/passed on/resold.

yeah jim, $50 brand new from mightyape couple weeks back.

this idea was great, however execution is absolutley fucked.

$100 for a game worth $40 new with a case/manual/disc...

And of course no one mentioned about the HDD space taken up. Its ok if you have a 120GB drive but if you have a 20 or 60 it soon eats up the space at 6GB a game.

Don't worry - the 60Gb is being phased out Or rumoured to be.

I thought Games On Demand weren't purchasable with MS Points? Doesn't the money get charged straight from your credit card?
