Speculation over the price of the DLC | Forums

[Ubi_Rickas]

The price hasn't yet been decided but it will be inferior to 1000 pts. Also check out rainbowsixgame.com for more details on the map Doscala.

There is, of course, always a chance for another delay. My guess is that it will be available. The guys at team xbox and others have played Ubi in the new DLC (and had a blast) so it certainly is opperational.

EDIT: Checking to see if the Gamespy release date is official. Thanks

800 credits seems to be fairly likely then, that about what I would have expected. Reasonable I suppose.

I expect 800 and that price is fine with me.

My question is why the pricing is being treated so enigmatically? "Less than 1000" is just plain odd. Please tell me Ubi isn't going the way of car lots and trying to charge 999 just to get away with saying "less than 1000". Why not a concrete figure a week out from release? Is it really not decided yet?

I think Ubi is trying to test what an acceptable market price for the DLC should be. They recognize more than 1000 is too much, but what is their floor? Is it 800? 400? 200? I think they relize that people will pay up to 800...

Im in the uk so answer in sterling if poss... How much are the gamer points? Id be happy t pay a couple of hundered but not 800, what a rip off they should realise that games only have a certain shelf life! Keep it cheap so people keep buying otherwise no one will pay and the game will die a death. Maybe im speaking for myself but im getting BORED!! of these levels now.....

Hopefully they'll take a look at the s***storm that Red Octane just unleashed and reconsider the pricing....

You get 1000 credits for £8.50 so suppose you could say that 800 is about £5.50, how much you play really decides whether it is reasonable or not for you. Personally play about 8-20hrs a week (depending on schedule) and will use any new maps that come along quite a bit so I think it a fair price. However, Ubi have should try to make the pricing reasonable for everyone, so to be fair, that can be difficult.

bump.

I really do not mind how much the DLC is because I will buy it no matter what....unless it is over 1000 points, then no way
