A friend was trying to get the game today and can't because the discs are impossible to find for a reasonable price.

I'm sure they would if they could, but it's not SE's fault MS is a greedy s.o.b. MS is already kicking themselves in the butt for letting silver accounts play this w/o paying for xbox live. It's also 1 of the 2 reason why 14 isn't coming to xbox360 or xbox1: they want to require gold accounts, SE's like "F that," and MS wants xbox only servers, and again SE's like , "/laugh. ...oh ur serious...no."
If anything, this is a misplaced post and should be redirected at MS.
I suggest going to walmart or costco or w/e is equivalent in your region, and buying some pile of junk computer for $300USD. then get a steam account and client at steampowered.com and buy it through steam. (not offense intended, just offering an alternative)
If your friend can't buy a cheapo computer, do they have one with at least windows XP on it (though windows vista, 7 or 8 would be better since SE no longer supports issues with winXP and FFXI related problems) -
08-13-2014, 09:30 AMLeviticusI know about all that, but its not like MS wouldn't gain a little bit from selling it on XBL. I'm trying to convince him to just wait until he can buy a new PC. Still doesn't excuse the fact that they are wasting potential on a platform they have been supporting anyway.Quote:

Damn you're right, I just looked it up on Amazon.com and it's ridiculous, whether you get the Seekers collection or piece together the several expansion disks.

How about offering it as a free download, since your login ID isn't console-exclusive, then all you would need to do is buy a content ID if you need to start up. This could be done on a PC (through buying the original game & all expansions (ultimate edition?) as a direct download through the SE store).

08-17-2014, 05:41 AMXeriusSo much this! As someone who plays on both PC and 360 it's ridiculous how SE double dips in my wallet to get expansions on both platforms. I still don't have Seekers on my PC because I refuse to pay for something again that I just bought.Quote:

the codes work on ps2 ps3 xboxs 360 and pc no matter where you get the code from.
btw if you do it the way i said you will end up spending 40 bucks same price you would of payed if other sites had them in stock for a normal price.
