RB Blitz in Europe?

[RustySpoons]

Sorry that's my bad. Europe confuses me like I'm a small child trying to change a carburetor. You are correct. Those prices I gave are for PS3 specifically. 1200 MSP for X360.

Wait so it's more expensive on Xbox? Or am I doing my usual blind stupidity routine?

In the US, the pricing is the same on all consoles, but I guess Microsoft aren't very good at converting their points to real money elsewhere in the world.

Supposedly MSP were originally priced approximately the same everywhere but MS doesn't adjust for currency fluctuations or at least not often. MSP are .0125 dollars each and .012 euros (I think). That makes 1200 MSP $15 in the US and 14.4 euros, $17.68 at today's exchange rate.

That 11 euros on the PS3 is $13.50, a nice little bargain, since it's $14.99 in the US.

Typical Microsoft. There's a reason I haven't been buying into Battlefield or Cod lately. Still, as much as I'd love to shout injustice and ignite a witch hunt, 1200msp is still obscene for what you're getting.

I'm pretty sure that the Elite type subscriptions for COD and Battlefield are sold in real currency on Xbox not in MSP. Not sure about the individual content.

It's not. Looking at the songs alone you're paying full price for 7 songs, half price for 1 song and 17 songs for free. Along with that is the actual game itself.

It seems to be promoted to buy MSP to get CoD Elite but I don't know whether it's sold in real currency on the 360 itself as I got the Hardened edition for MW3 which gave it for free.

it's sold in real currency as well. the problem being that €=$ in those cases so europeans just pay more

Huh? Everywhere I've looked so far has said the price is 1200msp (£10.99). £7.49 is closer to 800msp? I'm confused.

Which is why I always stock up when there are cheap points on offer. Last time I managed to get 4200 for £24.49, which works out at roughly £7.00 for the 1200msp required for Blitz.

It's the same for PS3 folk, as they can pickup cheap PSN cards for less than face value. I remember purchasing a load of PSN cards for half price ages ago. Super cheap DLC then!

You can pickup 1200MSP for £9.99 here :http://www.sainsburysentertainment.c...duct=E11056450

You can get a 10% discount using this code "SETENJ12" if you are a new customer, so £8.99 for 1200MSP. Almost 20% cheaper than your £10.99
