This is way different though, this is a product that hasn't been delivered yet. I am probably going to have to mail PSN about this.

You should. I always like a good laugh at work......

Your comment makes no sense.

Except this is nothing more than a slap in the face to people that bought it already (most of which are ps+ members)

So in other words: **** move CCP.

I doubt they will do anything. People have often brought things only for them to be released on PS+ not long after.

Except you forget now that consumer confidence will be crushed, I know now I'll refuse to buy anything from CCP, if several others do the same CCP will have to ***** out and lower the price because everyone won't buy anything expecting a price drop.

It happened to the 3DS. They had to cut the price because people wouldn't buy it. It was a slap to the consumer, so to apologize they gave them free games.

But now the vita releases and the first thing out of the majorities mouth is "I'm not getting it until the price drop" people expect now that if they refuse to buy a product, it will force the price down and they'll buy it then.


Same principle here. If we refuse to buy any more packs from CCP they will have to lower the price.


Aka with this move it shows that CCP has lost consumer confidence and is trying to get it back.


In short. They sold crap for merc packs so they are screwing over those who JUST bought it to try and get new people to buy it.

Let's say I am part of a club for a shooting range. It gives me discounts on range prices. They sell ammo and guns as well. I buy a gun and love it very much. Now let's say they start to give discounts to people in the club for that gun. I'll feel cheated, but it's perfectly lawful.

Same principle here. If we refuse to buy any more packs from CCP they will have to lower the price.

You do realize I am a customer that already invested in AUR and PS+ and had full beta access. The pack is for items delivered at launch. Getting versions of them during beta doesn't constitute delivery since they are still subject to change dramatically. It's not that I'm going to get outraged, but I'm not going to ignore the fact that I paid a different price for an identical SKU based on time of purchase before delivery, and got nothing additional out of it.

It's called a sale. It's not uncommon at all to buy something and then see it massively drop in price a month or two after it comes out! As for being 'Undelivered' this cannot be said at all unless you have not recieved or used any of the merc pack aurum or items. It doesn't matter if it'll be reimbursed later. You've gotten and used your product that you paid for.

Pretty much no company out there will listen to people who come back and complain that something they bought ages ago just went on sale. Some companies do offer a 7 day "Price change promise" or so that if the price drops they'll refund you the difference... but I highly doubt PSN will offer such a deal. Either way, It's a sale. A sale for 10$. If you honestly care that much about 10$..... I don't even know. You bought your stuff, you're here. You're testing a game that could be the start of something truly amazing. What's there to complain about? I would've paid 40$ for the merc pack.

Blame Sony bro, not ccp.
The same **** happened with bf3 and b2k, 'preorder bf3 and get b2k free', then dice go and slap those people in the face with y offering it with premium which meant that those who didn't already own b2k and bought premium .........got a better deal than those who did own b2k and bought premium. It happens

@ Noc : I am not offended. I am perplexed!

If you buy something early you are -always- going to pay more than later down the road. It makes no sense to be upset about it. I'm astounded at the self-entitled posts here from several people who I thought were pretty logical people and above such things. You paid for something, you got what you paid for. It then went on sale later on. It's that simple. There is no great injustice here. There is no problem. I spent just as much money on this as you did, if not more... and I am not upset. I have also bought several individual aurum packs in addition to the merc pack. I also subscribed to PS+ since last december ever since the initial survey for Dust514 came out. Was I 'Cheated' because CCP mentioned PS+ and then I was subscribed for two months before I ever got a key? Not really.


It's a sale, people. Sales happen in business when people want to sell their product. Grow up and move on.

i have a friend who bought team fortress 2 from steam not even a week before it went free.

did he feel cheated? yes

did he whine like a child? no

these things happen.

Principal, not amount. It is undelivered, beta items are not the product we paid for, and CCP was very explicit that it is not even possible to have to pay to test things. Why are you so offended that I am not happy that I basically donated $10 to Sony for being an earlier adopter?

You received an all access beta key as part of your purchase, plus the option to use the items more than once.

I really don't understand your argument - if you didn't feel the Merc pack was worth $20, you shouldn't have bought it.

Beta key was explicitly declared a non-value item. Besides as I mentioned I already had that, and was not given one to given one to gift either.

I once bought a game at Gamestop for $60. I then traded it in but only got like $7 out of it. The next day, Gamestop sold the same game for $20. Did I complain? No. It's just business and that's how it all works.

Tough luck, buyers beware.

Whining about price changes and then saying its about consumer rights is ridiculous.

Someone find the bottle for this baby.

I have a feeling you're referring to me, even though it makes no sense. Get back in your playpen with the other idiots. Or do you just subscribe to the everything that companies can do they have a right to do? All I said is I was investigating and all the apologists crawl out of the woodwork the consumer is an idiot for questioning what is going on. It's a symbiotic relationship, not a master-slave dichotomy.

Except price is determined by the publisher, in this case CCP.

So you agree with me without even knowing you did.

I doubt they will do anything. People have often brought things only for them to be released on PS+ not long after.

If you preordered that same game for $60, and the guy who walked in the store release night got it for $20, would you feel that is "just business"?

I can say this with a straight face and a clear mind.

"yes. It is just business and all part of the free market economy."

Shut up Noob.
