Overpriced DLC?

Irishmandkg · #1 10-08-2009, 11:06 PM

The dlc just came onto the U.S. ps store, and it is $9.99. I'm pretty sure it was only $5 on the xbox 360. Too expensive for me IMO.

I would agree. That is too expensive for what you get. And yeah, it was right around $5 bucks on XBL.

Yes it was 400M$ points on XBox... they even officially said they wanted it on at $5 on the other forum.

Someone can't do there maths!!!

I for one will not be buying this DLC priced at £7.99 for only 6 missions and 1 plane. PS3 users can unlock the Ta-152, so that just leaves the P47

Well, UK store finally got updated about 20 mins ago.. and it's £8 which is about $12.80. No way I am gonna buy 6 missions for that price, we are led to believe that the devs wanted it at less than 5 Euro, so I guess it's Sony making up these prices.

Seriously, read the damn post before you start 'quoting' it. One of the devs said they suggested a price of €5,00. It's not the devs that determine the prices, it's the publishers. And I believe I've seen another post with the same topic. Someone can't do their search!!!

I made an earlier topic saying it was listed on the PS Blog priced at 7.99 and hope it was a mistake. How can it be one price on Xbox and not the same on the PS3?

And i had no need to do a search as i did not create this thread... someone needs to use there head!

EDIT: And WHOEVER priced it at £7.99. How can they justify charging that much, when PSN games cost around that much. Command and Conquer, Commanders Challange PSN packs cost around £7.99. That had over 50 new missions and new maps and new units.

At the end of the day, i don't have to buy it, which is fine. It's just a shame, thats all

Ask yourself what the difference is between PS3 and XBOX? Sony. Guess that's where the problem is. And since the DLC goes through thorough scrutiny, my guess it's no mistake. It could be, but I advise not to get your hopes up.

And my apologies for not adding a line between my comment aimed at you and the comment obviously aimed at the original poster. I thought the comment itself would make it clear enough to whom it was referring.

I know Sony is the difference.

But there has never been a difference before. All Call of Duty map packs have been £.799 in the past and XBox has always been charged 800M$ points.

I take it you have an XBox... oh well, we win some and lose some!!!

lol wow, this is really getting hard for me to enjoy this console version of IL2, like I did on PC. .. im still waiting on the patch... have not even dove into too multi-player yet.. patiently waiting.. not buying.. waiting... and WHILE im waiting, Fallout 3 will get my $9.99..

confirmed it is $9.99 on psn. it is a bit much, but the single missions are top notch, especially the final mission which is EPIC!! and the p-47 is good, despite the fact that it flies like an fw-190, it has a strong armament ( tho i don't know how to unlock bombs and rockets ( yet ))
p.s. did anyone else get a message that says "send this message to 20 friends and you'll get $20 in psn store. sony is testing message system" ? (the friend who sent it to me didn't know if it was legit either)
