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?

raefon How about adding in the ability to use an External HDD if your going to bring in cheaper digital downloads.

Love if they reduced the price.....substantially not just 20 bucks.

Then it would boost sales. Easy to get things moving with a no return policy and just make it half of the store cost.

Win/win with people buying more games, less returns and free marketing on the Xbox.


I concur Watson. They should do that.


Well it's not that easy. If you are going to lower the prices then sales MUST be higher or the company will lose money. And when you lower the prices ONLY a small percentage of people will buy the game, so it's not really a win/win

I'm really glad they're doing this. They should have chosen a variety of games though. Not everyone wants Ryse.

FN-Zombie Everyone should not buy them in hopes that they might start sales like steam!

Steam still has the best deals. hands down


that makes no sense if you dont buy them then that just tells microsoft that digital sales arent worth it so its pointless

I suppose this is nice but digital copies of games should have always been much cheaper, for EVERY console.
