Ha ha ha! Nobody will suspect an innocent company creating good products that bring happiness to millions is actually our Evil Mega Corporation for the Evil Domination of Mankind actually selling evil products of endless suffering! This latest plan of relentless evil torment will make the present little Timmy desires most evily strip the pockets of his entire family and force them to live outside in the cold ON THE VERY DAY OF CHRISTMAS! Mua ha ha ha!
Good thing Microsoft is really trying to make their early adopters of their console happy.
Can we see an official statement of Microsoft addressing the price concerns?
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;43141897]who would get forza when you could have gran turismo? forza is the cawadoody of the racing world, anyway.[/QUOTE] I believe that would be Need for Speed. Also Gran Turismo is such a dry "cars are to be marvelled at, not enjoyed" type of game. In fact Forza 5 is a lot like that and its worse because of it.
You guys are hilarious, Steam also does £1 for $1 also
the solution is simple don't buy anything xbox related
[QUOTE=J!NX;43141223]"previously priced at £44.99, but are now on sale for £49.99" how do you put a game on sale for more than it originally was are you really that god damn stupid oh my god you are literally retarded Microsoft what are you doing why would you do that like really you are shitting on your customers for disagreeing with bad prices so you make it worse do you like not want people to buy this or something omg[/QUOTE] Because people who are still buying an Xbone after today will see that price, see the word SALE, and assume it was much more before and buy it anyway. It's almost like a con.
imagine being an xbox one owner just imagine
And it is still 25% lower than the Australian prices.
Sometimes I wonder if companies like Microsoft are having moles installed by their competitors to sabotage the company from within.

Wasn't one of the selling points during the Xbone reveal cheaper digital prices? I said it after they 180'd on everything that they'll just do whatever they wanted after scamming people into buying it
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43162760]WiiU or PS4 for gaming.[/QUOTE] I think you made a typo

[editline]13th December 2013[/editline] Also no ones mentioned it in this thread up, but digital games on the PS4 are still $5 more then Xbox One digital games.
Well at least there are alternative ways to get non-physical games on consoles so that there's price competition Wait
[QUOTE=Saxon;43150534]You guys are hilarious, Steam also does £1 for $1 also[/QUOTE] So that's why there's a bunch of 70p games which are $1 in the states? Sure. And that $60 game, Planetary Annihilation for £40? $1 for £1, yep!
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43162760]What a bunch of fucking cunts. There's literally no reason to do something like this other than to fuck with customers. Like, who's running the fucking show over there, monkeys? It just blows my mind how they can just get away with shit like this and have next to NOBODY complain or make a switch to PC, WiiU or PS4 for gaming. I don't know how people defend this shit like it's a step in the RIGHT direction.[/QUOTE] I don't think anyone will defend the decision to raise prices on video games, but afaik they're just raising the prices to PS4 levels, which is still stupid as fuck, but that's why people aren't flocking to the PS4 because of it. If they do it, it's probably because the PS4 is $100 cheaper.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;43151192]imagine being an xbox one owner just imagine[/QUOTE] imagine how much fun i am having with dead rising 3 and how there is literally no detriment to myself at all for owning an xbox one [editline]14th December 2013[/editline] i mean, i might get a ps4 too. just to annoy people like you
