Price Match / Protection on Xbox Live Digital Content Downloads

I purchased EA Sports UFC on Nov 15, 2014 for $20... I see it has now dropped to $14... I am looking into getting a xbox live credit or refund for the difference if possible! I chatted support and they said no.. I find this crazy as i only purchased it a
little bit ago and its not a huge difference but It would make the world to me!

Thanks!

Xbox One Digital Games have set prices.

I don't believe I've ever heard of an online digital content source that price matches.

Do US gamers pay additional tax that is included on demand xbox 360 games?

-Hi All

- When US gamers buy a game on demand on xbox live are you charged additional tax on top of the digital price or is the sales tax already included in the digital price?

- Are US gamers charged extra for digital downloads at all?

Sorry to hear it. However, phone support is the only place where billing issues are handled. More than likely the reason you were refused was because of the length of time between the purchase and the sale. But you could always try calling back again
and see what another agent says.

Hey Sky Wizard

What is "Digital Rights Management"?

Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology is used by content providers such as Xbox Live Marketplace to control how game and video files are used and distributed. Xbox Live Marketplace sells and rents DRM-protected videos, games, and add-in content that
are covered by media usage rights that allow specific uses of that content.

When you purchase content, you receive a license to use that content. The license has two parts: the
system license and the local license. The system license applies to the gamertag that purchases the content, and the local license applies to the console where you first downloaded the content.

Actually, you would only need to buy it twice.
