Xbox One digital Games on Demand deals being tested

4.4
From this Tuesday to next Monday, February 18th-24th, the digital version of Ryse will be available for 20 USD less at $39.99 versus retail of $59.99.

So we're testing some, and [from] 2/18 through 2/24 you can get Ryse: Son of Rome off digital marketplace for $39.99. Special deal on add ons starts 2/25.Mike Ybarra



Both Ybarra and MajorNelson have made it clear lately that Microsoft plans to introduce more "competitive pricing" for digital downloads going forward. When asked directly on the subject Nelson responded with "It is indeed on the agenda."

Would you be more prone to purchase games at a slightly reduced price in a digital only form?

This is a good thing to do, even though they are testing it they will get results.

R2-D2 "Testing"???...you mean temporarily "on sale" price drop. No need to say " testing"...just lower the price and customer will decide to accept it or not. Why give it a certain dates that this will only be available?...don't limit the time of buyers decision. Also, include more different types of video games.


but what they want to do is make all digital content cheaper. and they are "testing" to see if it is worth it

I don't understand why they ever thought making the digital games full price was a good idea and I can't believe some people fell for it.

Obviously a digital license tied to your account is worth less than an actual case, CD, and the freedom to do whatever you want with it. Not to mention you don't lose the game if you get banned.

I would want at least $15 off retail price.
