To give you guys an idea of how fucked up the pricing is
Here are the pricing from EB in Australia for each method of obtaining ME:
1500 MSP has a RRP of $29.95 AUD
Brand new copy of ME has a RRP of $49.95 AUD
Used copy of ME is priced at $42.95 by EB
So base on RRP it would cost me $120 to get ME through Microsoft's new service, which when converted into US Dollar with current exchange rate is over $100US
The Difference in cost is so staggering ($70-$77) that I'm now convince someone on the top of the food chain down here are MS Australia is smoking some seriously trippy shit.
