9.99 or 226.00. What the F?

[TheGodchild]

So my buddy who is on Xbox decided he wanted to start playing Final Fantasy 11. So we go to the "Official" website to order a copy. The website lists the ultimate collection for 9.99. So we go to purchase and all the website does is direct you to the bottom of the page where their online stores are. 2 of the links are broken, the one for Gamestop and the one for EBgames. The 3rd link for amazon works and all they have for sale is new copies for 226.00 or used copies for 75 bucks. What is the deal? How can you advertise on your site a game for 9.99 but have no avenue to purchase it? What the F?

Buy a used copy anywhere, buy keys off of steam.

It's $226.00 because Amazon thinks it's old enough to be vintage, or something...

But there's a relatively cheap and simple alternative. Buy any version of FFXI Xbox360 on Ebay (Ultimate Edition takes less updating at first, but codes are irrelevant, just need clean, unscratched discs), then buy the Abyssea Edition ($9.99) for PC to get the codes. Codes are account based, not system based, so you only need to make sure to buy the one for the region you play in.

its like that because some sellers think its a rare item, which lately it seems to be, SE should just find a way to make a deal with MS to have it for sale on xbox live as a download, it would save them a lot

Good idea!

[wildsprite]

oh yes, I remember that thread, I thought it was a great idea when I posted to it as well

I doubt M$ would agree to any deal with SE. Anyone remember the fight over getting XIV on 360?

[Demon6324236]

Thats because MS is a company of stupidity & greed.

Took me 10 seconds to search that on Amazon; the FFXI Abyssea Edition, with ALL of the add-ons and expansions for $9.99.

Really not that hard..
