eshop or retail?

 

[Chaplain]

Perfect, good to know. Saved me a trip

Spoke with Amazon. They said they will not price match the Origin sale.

AND BOUGHT. Impulse much?

Is this question directed at me?

 

[ultrazilla]

Wow EA just doesn't have a clue. They halve the price on Origin but still have Nintendo selling it on their EShop for $50. Feel bad for anyone who paid full price.

 

[Malvingt2]

I got it. $32.50 with taxes + free shipping..

 

[frankie_baby]

Have you contacted Customer support. They might refund the difference like they did with Lego land when it was priced incorrectly.

it's EA's call really

It's part of their Spring Sale on Origin. Their games are still full price everywhere else.

 

[Coolwhip]

It's €59 on EU Origin. While the PC version is €24.99.

 

[helvetica bold]

Honestly, that youtube link looks no better than the 360 or PS3 version.

If only Nintendo would offer refunds for digital purchases. I don't even want to own the game anymore. Pisses me off that I spend $60 on the eshop for it only to see that ea is selling it for $30 an hour later.

The last time I ordered a physical copy of a game through Origin it showed up to my house with a game broken into about 4 pieces inside. I called EA and they told me that I couldn't prove it was broken and wouldn't give me a refund. Never again, even if it costs me $30.

Retail Wii U copy from Origin (Finnish store), just bought it at 29,90€ (+ some shipping fees).

It's no different to if WalMart decided to sell it for $30. Not Nintendo's fault or anything such as that so you're not really eligible for a refund

 

[Mithos]

Its 299kr on the Swedish Origin site, that's ~$45/~€35

I know, that's why I'm not bothering contacting them or anything. It still pisses me off though.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Hell yea, def thanks for the heads up. I was gonna pick this up this weekend. Grassy Ass My friend!

still 45 pounds here on the uk ea origin store

 

[Kevtones]

Tell me about it, I usually only buy 1 or 2 games a year. I've already bought 3 in March.

MH, NFS, and Luigi ghost house

I'm probably buying 3... Today. This, MHU, and Lego. I don't have the time for my backlog let alone three of these games...

Oh well!

 

[iamaustrian]

Someone requested some off-screen pics. Not the best but you get the idea.

wow. that looks fantastic.

 

[helvetica bold]

/\ okay that looks pretty dang good!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

EA can set prices on eShop they just did not bother I just paid $59.99 at noon

they could have set that price it has nothing to do with Nintendo but after the stupid mistake Nintendo made yesterday on LCU I bet they get some calls

 

[PhantomR]

Have you contacted Customer support. They might refund the difference like they did with Lego land when it was priced incorrectly.

No, they're not going to do that. That was a Nintendo mistake, this is not. If you haven't requested a refund before though, they'll probably help you out.

EDIT: And when I mean refund, I mean the full price of the game as well as deletion of the license on your account. Not a partial refund.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

It's part of their Spring Sale on Origin. Their games are still full price everywhere else.

in that case glad they included this title into the sale because the new DLC depends on the numbers sold

 

[JCH!]

The game's 61.50€ in the Spanish Origin store. What a stupidly random price.

At least it's not 69.99€ like someone mentioned earlier in the thread.

For comparison, PS360 version is 56.36€.

 

[Like the hat?]

I'm sure I'll forget the price issue when I'm laying in bed playing some sweet criterion goodness.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

1h20 to install sheiiiit

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want this game but I'm already buying too much games.
Will probably buy it next month once I finish Lego City and Luigi's Mansion 2.

Get in it on Origin before the sale ends

 

[Krakatoa]

1h20 to install sheiiiit

Wow that's longer than Lego land. I think that install for 19gb took me about 30 mins. How large is the game?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Would so jump on this if I didn't have the PC version....

 

[Schnozberry]

Wow that's longer than Lego land. I think that install for 19gb took me about 30 mins. How large is the game?

7GB or so. It wasn't too bad.

 

[Jachaos]

Got it in the Origin sale, though now I have to wait until next week to play it and I won't have it always on the console, which is a downside to me. I wanted to get most if not all my games installed to the Wii U but with a few gifts I've received and now this, and Nintendoland packaged as a disc, and AC III bought during Futureshop's Buy 3 Get 1 Free E3 Promotion... I now have Scribblenauts Unlimited, Zombi U, NSMB U, NFS:MWU, AC III and Nintendoland as physical copies and Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Trine 2, Nano Assault as digital (going to get Lego City Undercover as soon as I'm able to get a Y-cable for my external HDD)

Hope the demo's out soon, I want to try it while I wait for the full copy to arrive

 

[Kouriozan]

Get in it on Origin before the sale ends

Still show up at 59€ (from France).
If it drop to 30€ it's impulse buy time!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

the Wii U estimate is shit should not post it 14m left now to install with half the bar blue

Wtf have Nintendo done. I'm not a big DD guy but this really does ensure I won't buy big games digitally. It's madness.

k keep checking on it

I want everyone to buy this game I want that Airport DLC :3

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Would even buy it for 50€ on the eShop on thursday.

Spoiler

Pretty sure it's going to be 69,99€ lol

 

[Zero148]

1h20 to install sheiiiit

why does NFS with 7GB last 80 minutes to install, but Lego only roughly 40 minutes (based on my reading in the OT) with 22GB?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this is 1/3 the size of LCU so far it only took 4 hours to download

LCU yesterday I started at midnight was not done until 6:45PM!

why does NFS with 7GB last 80 minutes to install, but Lego only roughly 40 minutes (based on my reading in the OT) with 22GB?

19GB but true true

dunno but I fear as soon as I launch the game there might be an update

 

[Mithos]

still 45 pounds here on the uk ea origin store

Double and triple checked another thing I noticed, the Wii U version is NOT tagged as being discounted either, but PS3/360/PC version's are tagged and have a before/after price.

Hopefully they will honor the price. We will see.

I was going to do the Target Buy 2 get 1 Free deal and pick this up with Lego City and Monster Hunters but $30 is too good of a deal.

I will have to come up with a different 3rd game at Target.

Installing to hard drive or internal memory? For me installs seem to go much faster to hdd.

 

[TriniTrin]

Pretty much! Thanks buddy! GO TEAM 29.99!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I disconnected my external for today's downloads

 

[Smiles and Cries]

done! time it took?

24 mins

 

[Smiles and Cries]

FUCK!!! PREPARING UPDATE!!!! 9mins

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ok later guys

 

[Schnozberry]

Installing to hard drive or internal memory? For me installs seem to go much faster to hdd.

I have an external 500GB 7200rpm laptop drive, and the install took 14 minutes. Lego City took 25. It's bus powered with a Y Cable, so I'll be interested to see how other people's performance differs.

 

[Plinko]

Just picked it up from Origin for $29.99. Amazing price.

 

[_woLf]

How does the Wii U version compare to the PC version?

 

[RumblingRosco]

How does the Wii U version compare to the PC version?

Some added functionality with the touchpad, I believe it uses similar/the same textures as the PC version (which are better than the 360/PS3 versions), and this game includes the first DLC but it looks like the rest of the DLC will not be coming to the WiiU version, or so rumors go. Disclaimer: I say all this having played neither, let alone any game in the Burnout or Need for Speed series.
