Or £34.99 for the early access if you get the premium upgrade on gamepass instead. For those who must absolutely definitely have the 5 day headstart. £35 for the headstart is quite a bit cheaper than £85, for those who must.

Or £17 if you buy it through the Iceland store
 
I'll be playing it at launch. On Gamepass mind you, so it hasnt cost me anything. Wont be buying it for launch, no need when I can have it without having to pay for it.
Hehe I meant play. Not buying it hehe.

I am interested in hearing from you and others what if any game breaking bugs there is and overall how good or bad it is

Happy to give my feedback on it when I play it, though as a caveat dont forget that I have a much higher tolerance than the modern gamer for bugs. I've gotten too old to fit in the pram now in order to throw my toys out at the slightest of annoyances :D

Obviously if its just plain bad, thats a different kettle of fish though, I've got oodles of tolerance for bugs but not so much tolerance for games which are legitimately bad.

Oh, and a second caveat, I do like the Elder Scrolls games and I do like the Fallout games, so thats something to bear in mind

that's the upgrade pack not base game



Starfield Premium Edition Upgrade £16.93 (with Game Pass discount) DLC​




NOTE: This does not include the base game! This is merely a pack for those that either already have the game and/or will play it via Game Pass.

I know, the person I quoted was talking about the premium upgrade pack for gamepass
 
£63 here for the premium edition

I've used CD keys several times no issues, but I'm kinda hesitant about getting Starfield from them, I'm not quite sure how they can have keys before the game is launched, if they have to somehow register all these keys on launch I can just see problems happening with the support getting completed overloaded.

I could be wrong and I don't pretend to understand how it all works in the background.
 
I seem to remember that when digital distribution took over from boxed games with a disc they told us it would make games cheaper. So why are games over £60 these days, with some being in excess of the £100 mark?
 
Because you have to make a lot of profit to keep people happy after spending £100's of millions and 5 years of peoples time to develop and launch the game?

I reckon games are cheaper.

I remember paying in store for Syndicate Wars, big box with cd inside, at least £35, that was 1996, I think it was more but let's go with £35.

Using the inflation calculator that's £66 in todays money.

I reckon I put at most, 100 hours?

I dunno how long and much it took Bullfrog to develop that game but I bet even factoring inflation it's a fraction of that Bethesda have spent on Starfield.

Now also consider how many hours I got out of Fallout 4, and I got that on a deal (can't remember how much), and Fallout 76 which I paid about £15 quid for, roughly 1000 hours in fallout 4 and about 500 in 76.

With the benefit on hindsight, I would have happily paid £100 (more to be honest) for Fallout 4, and I dunno £40-50 for Fallout 76.

So if Starfield is even as good as those games, even £85 for the full premium version doesn't seem to excessive to me.
