Factions Platinum Edition not in ingame store
I wonder why they haven't put Platinum edition Factions in the ingame store. I see it on Amazon and gamestop.
http://www.amazon.com/NCsoft-FG-XP-G...3092 2&sr=8-6 http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=69622 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832784002 http://videogames.barnesandnoble.com...2000003154043/ http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1205246239392 another problem I have is, why is Platinum edition 59.99 ingame and 39.99 in stores like amazon and gamestop? Does the Factions platinum edition have 2 slots extra? I know it has the bonus mission pack in it, since it says it on the box. |

It's also available at Best Buy...but why would you pay $20 more by buying it at the in game store anyway?

Well, there's not much reason to put the Factions Platinum Edition into the in-game store: it's just Prophecies, Factions and the Bonus Mission Pack, after all.

Have you also noticed that amazon and similar online shopping sites sell a lot of goods cheaper than you would find on the high street or direct from the maker? That's just how it works.
The ingame store is likely to always charge RRP, for several reasons, e.g. other retailers would not be happy if the maker (Anet via the in game store) undercut them. Many online shoping sites and even high street stores will reduce the price below RRP to sell more of the item and hence make more money overall. As an alternative viewpoint, why would they (Anet) reduce the price? If people want to buy from the in game store they will whatever the price. If you want an actual answer then try this: The in game store is instant, there are no delivery costs, no waiting and no petrol to drive your car to your local high street, it is quicker and more convenient, and to many that is probably worth the extra cost. Or to summarise: Capitalism. Last edited by captain_carter; Apr 26, 2008 at 07:57 PM // 19:57.. |

NCSoft is going to hold the digital campaigns to MSRP, not a remotely competitive market price. If Digital Delivery was priced appropriately, they as a publisher would be out of business.
