Happy with 360 game pricing?

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 00:01

I'm not, I know the console is sold at a loss but it's a little silly, £40 for a game that on other formats costs almost half, they could reduce the prices a touch (say by a tenner) and that way people would more likely buy more games because they get more for their money, and Microsoft still makes the same amount of money off them?

This is my only gripe with console gaming and this is why I only have 2 games!

Depends on your game, I have PGR3, fifa 06 and FN3. Took me 2 days to unlock everything in fifa and FN. I doubt I will ever get 70% of the unlocks on PGR.

EA make their achievements far too easy.

Guys look around for codes...

Can i post pics here... will they be considered as competitors?

If you use your noggin' (do they sell pc hardware?) you can decide that for yourself.

You mention rpoints, are you registered on that site to find these deals?

Whats opening an account with littlewoods entail?

On lxdirect at what point do you get the discount?

That £30 code does not work on credit/debit card orders.

He said you need an account.

The £15 one works for first orders though.

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 11:12

LXDirect
£15 off 1st order: ZG5622
£15 off next order: ZQ6022

You can find loads of voucher codes here: www.hotukdeals.com

Can you use both?

Tried and said one code per order.

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 12:31

Why when I get to the payment screen does it say my order total is £43 when the previous screen stated £28?

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 13:16

dannyjo22 said:
You need to set or agree to the flexi account, one off payment option dont work. But i'm guessing you can just pay the balance off when the bill comes in like other catalogues.

gram333 said:
At Lxdirect you dont need to open an account... you can use your card...Np..

So I'm confused now.

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 13:42

dannyjo22 said:
I used lx direct too and the above code and for me its not worked dunno why. So you didnt have to set up and account either?

Nope just put my cc info in.

I did however press the press the create account thing but then go back and enter different codes a few times, did your total show up as deducted during order process?

The code is ZG5622 btw

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 16:00

Try ZG5577 aswell (£10 + free del).

Gonna use that one when they get burnout in stock.

Right trying that, whenever I add the code the discount is shown, then i move onto the delivery page then the price goes back up again..

1 ghost recon 3: advanced warfighter PG485

Monday 10 April £39.99 £0.00
SUBTOTAL £39.99
DISCOUNT £0.00
P&P £3.50
TOTAL PLUS DELIVERY £43.49

The discount dissapears, when i goto make a credit card payment its at 43 so I dont continue.

Weird.

Just clicked order tracking and shows total value of £43.49, hmmmmm.

PiKe · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:27

Is that 10% to do with barclaycard?

Do you know if the code for £10 off and free p&p is only for new customers?
