jasonorme666 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Both premium content packs (Greek & Egyption) plus Defense of Crete Booster Pack DLC for only £30. SOLD! On a different note, could not find the retail package in a single store on release day. All stores say they sell the reail package online only, which to me defeats the point of a retail package as most people would just buy the download only.

Don't pay in money, use Microsoft points and you can get it cheaper! £25 I believe if you buy your points from play.com (£15 for 2100 points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepydumbdude Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 39.99 for US. Just bought it for 3200 MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alklein35 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 39.99 for US. Just bought it for 3200 MP. So... you spent the same amount (unless you bought the MSP somewhere with tax, then you paid more). And since when can you use MSP for Games for Windows stuff? Damn... I was so happy when Microsoft started phasing out MSP, and now it looks like they're bringing it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffer Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) So, what is the point of the $100 bundle in the US? It is supposed to be a deal, but just seems to get you the $20 in decoration packs. So, if you don't care about putting plants in your city, get the $40 bundle?? Then later in the year, I'm assuming there will be another $40 bundle for the future content. I played this game for a while last night. I think I'll be picking up the $40 bundle today.

I doubt there will be another bundle discount for later packs, but yes I do think that if you don't care about the deco packs then the $100 likely isn't a discount for you, probably will cost about the same we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to wait to get them shipped. If it wasn't for that I'd hate msp points also though. Edited August 17, 2011 by sleepydumbdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepydumbdude Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 You have to work for a partner of microsoft. I work for ATT and since they sell WP7 I was able to be a part of it. You have to email them your paystub so they do verify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Chimpanzee Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Any idea how long this offer will be up? Haven't loaded the game in a while since most of my inventory is taken up by stuff I cant use and don't want to destroy it. Still waiting on the 4000 point card.

Vandel Buster Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Did you guys actually download the file in the GfWL Marketplace after purchasing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrustfulSteve Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I got this special offer last week and have been happily playing away...i got the two full civs but when i went to play the crete mission it shows up as a demo...tried re installing the pack but my crete mission still shows as demo and i can only do 10 waves and all i get for it is 10 crete points...none of the achievement related reward. If i delete from marketplace and redownload will my city and level all be saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i delete from marketplace and redownload will my city and level all be saved? nah nothing is wrong. everyone got that quest that says demo. but you can actually click on the building behind the guy with the quest to get the real crete missions. but they should have made it more clear that you can click on that building since i was also confused at the start.

JohnnyBravo Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 bought greeks last week, if i buy egyptians now, crete wont be free right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Ball Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 bought greeks last week, if i buy egyptians now, crete wont be free right? nope, need to use the special launch offer purchase, purchasing them separately will not net the DLC for free.
