Ill get it eventually, but it sure as hell wont be a launch buy.

Its not just the DRM. Its the lack of information regarding anywhere that isnt America.


Yeah it suck that something that ms does in the US you cant get in the UK, forget that nobody else does it in the first place and therefore you cant get it from them either.

broken logic.

 


I don't think it's broken logic. Those services are meant to add value to the device, right? Well, those services don't exist in the EU, therefore the device has less value to an EU customer than it would to a US customer. A competing device might not offer that service anywhere, but that just means that there's no differentiation on that point to an EU customer.


I think you just made my point.


I don't think I did. Carl is saying he'd be a lot more likely to buy the console on launch day if all the services were available in his region. Y'know, if it had more value to him. It's not broken logic for him to say so. 


They will do something for Europe, they actually already have with the FIFA 14 exclusive content. Sure, that is nothing too big when it comes to actually adding value to the console because the exclusive DLC will more than likely have to also be paid for like any other DLC. Australia has a Foxtel service, which is a cable service here, for much cheaper than the regular price... I'll look it up.... $19.99 a month as appose to the $80-120ish or sometimes more a month I pay for Foxtel IQ, (I know, idiot...), it also has no lock in contract, no extra box sitting near your T.V which will in turn, also require another remote and you save money again with no installation fee. I downloaded the app and it's easy as piss. My girlfriend could do it with ease.... Getting to the point, This service has been on the 360 since, if I had to guess, 2009-10 and Australia is a tiny market as far as gaming goes really. You think they'll alienate the a much larger market in Europe, even after showing interest with FIFA? Advice? Wait till E3, if not then I think they'll do something within the launch window at the latest. Good thread.... It's difficult talking about the one here right now.... E3 can't come soon enough.

 

Thought I'd provide a link for everyone too look at. Other Aussies especially... I may jump on this deal with the Xbox ONE. I CBF doing it on the 360....

Then regular advertised prices here, Aussies pay shitloads for everything.
