Why The Cost of Buying Disney Infinity 3.0 on Xbox One is a Problem

Disney Infinity has confirmed, via Twitter, that the digital version of Disney Infinity 3.0 will cost $29.99. However, if you purchase the game at launch on either PlayStation or Wii U digital services, it will cost you $19.99.

Interesting. Well, for starter sets, it looks like Sony has the better deal. But If you are returning, the extra $10 doesn't seem too bad if you are heavily invested in the game.

Now, the last time I checked, the figurines are system agnostic (with Boba Fett being the exception and thats probably the game itself.)

So from that perspective, I think if you are returning to Disney Infinity, and you still have all your stuff, then the $10 discount that Nintendo and Sony are offering is a better deal if you own the other consoles - and especially the PS4 with the exclusive content.

SuicideKing3194d ago

The Boba Fett figure would work with any system just like all the other figures. PS just bought a timed exclusive on the figure, so basically you can't go to Best Buy, or wherever, and buy it for a month or something. Which is pretty dumb if you ask me. Timed DLC is bad enough, now we have timed figures lol.
But Sony did pick an awesome character to get timed exclusive!

Chevalier3194d ago

Wal-Mart and Game stop also have timed exclusives. The PS3/PS4 collector's bundles has 5 figures and another adventure pack/world whereas the regular only has 2 figures.

SuicideKing3193d ago

@chevalier Sony has an exclusive pack, but it costs twice as much as the normal starter pack...

FallenAngel19843194d ago

The fact that Disney Infinity on Xbox platforms aren't compatible with the other platforms is truly absurd. The PlayStation and Nintendo versions are compatible with each other, so there's more incentive to buy them.

Microsoft just doesn't like playing with others it seems.

Eonjay3194d ago

Oh snap. I missed that. What is that about. Now I see what the big deal is.

Kribwalker3193d ago

The only thing that is not compatible is the portal thing. Everything else is the same

Chanogram3194d ago

So they have a deal with Sony/Nintendo, i fail to see the "big" deal. It's a "thing", but it's not a big thing.

It's possible that Sony and Nintendo are just discounting the game and taking the loss themselves, i guess... It's more likely, however, that they have a deal with the publisher to allow them to sell these at a discount for a limited time.

"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."

Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.

franwex2004d ago

Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.

Skankinruby2004d ago

Uhm trophies are fantastic, they give you real reason to keep playing a game after you beat it

Christopher2004d ago

If you need trophies to keep playing a game after you beat it, then is the game worth playing any further? It's imaginary points, not better gaming. Good games will be replayed regardless of imaginary points.

Skankinruby2004d ago

@Christopher
That logic makes zero sense. It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY. It's not about better/worse gaming, it's about a replay of a game feeling fresh and not redundant.

***It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY.***

If you need a trophy to do something and not the fact that you enjoy it, is the game actually worth playing? Seriously, how is that a foreign concept? How is that nonsensical? I guess it's nonsense to someone who plays for trophies, but that's about all you're playing for when you promote the reason for doing more to just get trophies and not because you enjoy it.

mkis0072004d ago

In fairness sony did have that gold trophy auction for all those commercial props.

Would have loved to have enough trophies for that.

Pretty ignorant statement to have... there are lots of fun achievements/trophies to be had playing online... I've never played through the single-player campaign in any COD... but had lots of fun playing online... Companies have to be sure to cater to all gamers when it comes to achievements/trophies... a good mix is never a bad thing...

franwex2003d ago

...except if you want to play a game online a couple of years later and not being able to, hence from getting all the trophies.
I’m not obsessed with getting every achievement/trophy but if I like the game I may try to. I’m simply being punished for not discovering the game earlier.

agnosticgamer2003d ago

Most games... minus complete failures last much...much longer online than I believe you are giving credit for...

OneEyedSteve2004d ago (Edited 2004d ago )

Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.

Majors2004d ago

When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.

darthv722004d ago

I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.

They should bring Infinity back completely. The potential is still huge, not just the Infinity games, but they could still implement the figures, old and new, in various games (Disney, Marvel, Star Wars) accross a wide variety of genres...

Mystogan2723d ago

The gameplay was awesome. I couldn't believe they nailed every characters abilities so perfectly. I thought they were going to all play pretty much the same at first.

BLAKHOODe2723d ago

I agree. My daughter and I loved playing the game together and had most of the 1.0 figures and all of the 2.0 and 3.0 figures. The problem is they made some figures that never should have been made, in part, because of movie tie-ins, like with "Time" from Alice In Wonderland. "Alice" and "Mad Hatter" were cool. They also produced too many of any one character and couldn't sell enough. If they would have worked out the math and focused more on in-demand, popular characters I believe they could have turned things around. Instead, they were getting ready to push 12" characters. I'm not sure how they thought that would be a good idea. Just poor planning all the way around. I'm so disappointed I'll never get to play as "Spider-Gwen", "Doctor Strange" or "Peter Pan" now. My kid would have loved to have the "Moana" figures. All of these were planned, too.

IndominusRex2723d ago

The characters were wayyyy tooo expensive and there were too many of them imo. Which is probably one of the reasons why this happened.

BLAKHOODe2723d ago

I'm amazed WWE hasn't tried the "toys-to-life" gimmick. I'd like to see them do it with a WWE All-Stars type game with a ring-shaped game pad to place the figures on, as well as tokens to set the type of matches, like a title match and/or cage match, etc.

gamer78042722d ago

thats not a bad idea at all, would be fun to see. we need a more user friendly wwe game than wwe2k games.
