Despite many claims to the contrary, Microsoft have not made a mistake in Crimson Alliance's pricing, with many gamers believing they have managed to get the game for free.
Not everyone has a big budget for games these days. Despite retailers holding constant sales on hit titles and Microsoft offering bargains every week, there just comes a time when you need to save your money for something else, like bills, food and other things.
XMNR: The Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week for the week starting February 7 features the DLC character packs for the action-role playing game, Crimson Alliance.
SBG: "Looking for a good game for yourself or someone else this holiday season? We’ve got you covered. Here are this year’s releases that have our stamp of approval on the Xbox 360."
LOL that's what I thought too when I turned on my Xbox earlier today. I was it on the featured section and clicked on it to see "free" - immediately downloaded it thinking it was a mistake...wrong -_-
I know this game is free and everything, but something about this seems very wrong. Charging different amounts to gain access to the complete game is just ridiculous. Paying 800 MS points to "buy" one character and hence experience the whole game with one character is bad enough, but then going further and charging people 1200 MS points to gain complete access?
Am I the only one who thinks this seems really wrong, and that if it's left unchecked it will spiral out of control and pretty soon games will be sold in pieces instead of a complete game?
It's very misleading.
If the whole game isn't available for free, it shouldn't say "FULL Game - Crimson Alliance" beside the price of "FREE".
To me, it's a plain lie, because it's not the full game.
All you said it's true, of course, but overall I don't think it's an honest way of selling the game.
