View Full Version : How do you justify these new prices?

Please Epic I would like to know how you justify charging essentially more for all fronts now than before. As I live in the UK i cannot buy soley 1600 points. So I will have to buy 2100 points ( I do not use points). Also even if I was able to find 1600 points for 15 GBP, you will be still charging us the same price as before but for less content. How is this fair? I am open to an explianation. Please it is more than welcome!!

Exactly it is 1600pts. But the minimum points you are able to buy to cover the cost is 2100. I just want to buy all fronts. I dont want to pay for excess points!!

would it work if you had an american friend buy a 1600 ms point card then you gave him $20
stupid question, but would that work?

No cos i think the points are region capped. And why should I go to all that trouble?

Where do you buy your points? You could buy them off the marketplace, I think you can buy them for like 500 and 1000 packages. But you'll need a CC.

BTW, the MS points fixed on that amount is a market strategy of Microsoft. If you were to blame one, that would be MS.

You are not paying for less content. The features that All fronts had were extra, a BONUS if you will. The only ones to blame, where the "kids" who thought paying 5$ more was just too much.

Save your points dude. They said it was the biggest DLC they have release up to date but they never said it was going to be the last. There will be more DLC for the Gears Franchise and it's always nice to have some extra MS points.

honestly you have to blame microsoft for being unable to buy more specific increments of points.

if you want to buy exactly 1600 points:

click this link to zune website, http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/usersguide/social/buypoints.htm and follow instructions. if it doesnt seem to work try signing out and start the instructions over.


you can add points in increments of 400, 1200, 2000, and 4000.

Spending what little gas we have to do so.
This Was like Dangling a Piece of food infront of a staving man thats paid his dues just to give it to throw it away.

They Only Did this cause nobody would shut the hell up they wanted this and that. I was Fine with this I was getting some Goodies and new maps and such for $20.00 bucks. I paid for Cunbustible Snowblind On Day 1 Hour 1! I am a True Fan I buy and buy and buy Gears Stuff. I dont want a Golden Shot Gun I own the golden Hammerburts and Lancer and I dont use them I just wanted them to say hey I am A fan! I love your Game you guy made!

Um...the main thing I've seen you ***** about is "Gas Money". So don't come here crying about, "Principles" and what not. You got your refund for your Pre Order....and that's as far as it ****ing goes. They didn't make you drive over there to put money down on it....you did that on your own accord.

Stop *****ing about stuff that doesn't matter. You're not out any money, you're just pissed because things have become a little bit, "Harder" for you.

Don't come to this forum thinking you can try to educate us, on Marketing...because if you really knew what a good Strategy was in the first place...you wouldn't be working at some Haunted House.

Do you not see the irony in your posts? You seem mad at complainers but then you go on to make your own complaints re: lag and kill-stealing, the former which rarely affects me and the latter which is a fairly subjective thing along the same lines as nerfing smoke grenades? If people who argued for smokes to get nerfed are whiners, how are you any different? Different boat, maybe, but traveling down the same river for sure.

We should ask for retail back. Cheaper for those who don't have all DLC and extra stuff for those who do. Damn whiners. It happens in every game so it should've been expected. I'd rather have the map packs and all the goodies rather than just the map packs. I'm not buying them on marketplace.

What? You'll only purchase the DLC if it comes with Free "Goodies"? Seems pretty pathetic if you ask me.

So is there any actual reply on how to make it FAIR for the UK consumers?

ok, dark corners=on marketplace. 7 new maps, new campaign chapter. 1200 microsoft points

all fronts= same as dark corners but also has various items. $20.00.

Wrong. All Fronts has the Flashback, Combustible and Snowblind map packs as well. ;)

Stop whining. I live in the UK as well. It's only £17.50 to get 2100 MSP.

You made this thread to complain about £3.50?

BTW there is a 1600 MSP card available in GAME. But it has a GTA IV sign on it so you have to be 18+ to get it.

Maybe in YOUR game. But I cannot find any anywhere especailly online or via Xbox Live itself. And yeah 3.50 is still money. I would rather put to other things.

You obviously won't be able to find it online. Just go to your local GAME and inquire about it. ;)

Go to amazon and get 2100 for about £17, the cheapest way. You'll be spending MS points somewhere further down the line, it's very unlikely you will only spend 1600 points on this and never buy any more expansions for the rest of your life.

Microsoft haven't made it officially online for the UK. It is still available as promotional stuff though in stores.

Welcome the XBLM. When was the last time you bought an 800/1200 points card to just buy one arcade game?

Never, that's when.

If you're really that fussed about saving your bit of money, you could buy two 800 point packs from HMV (http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1;-1&sku=930586), though at 1200 points for £14, is it really worth fretting about £3.50?

Edit: There's 2100 points available at playtrade (http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/860182/Xbox-Live-2100-Points-Card/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0) for £16, it doesn't have email delivery of the code though

Here's a question: Would you rather they upped it to 1500 & 2000, so you didn't have any left over after buying points from the dashboard?

No I didn't think so.

And FYI, you can't blame Epic for the MS point cutoffs, that's all MS.
