  • That's a cd key for the game to unlock the extras! NOT to download the game!

    No, that is the digital download to get the whole game. It is not a code to get the extras. Check the greyed out RRP of £39.99


    This has been well publicised for the last few weeks that they are practically giving the game away at that price. They also have the new AC Unity for under £20

    Errr... actually, it's the code to get the download from the Xbox digital store. You can't just throw technical terms into a sentence and hope it makes sense. :D "Digital download" is either a factual or redundant error.

    Practically giving it away? :rotfl: £8?
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

    Just to clear this up - I took a chance and bought the code.

    Installed on a brand new box-fresh Xbox one and the game works. It did 'download' the game and I left it overnight so I have no idea how long it took.
    So, although I am not sure of the technical terms, this is a download of the game itself.
    I was unsure how to use the code and almost accidentally purchased the full price game from the xbox online store until I found the correct place to enter the code.

    Hope this helps.

    Yeah, so it's code to get the whole game and not just a code to download the extras as that was what garyandlynn suggested you would be getting. It is quite obviously a code that was being spoken about. :doh:


    £8 to get a pretty awesome game (probably one of the best launch titles) is a great price. If you have game sharing set up on the xbox and split the cost with a friend then it's only £4.
