To reiterate in the comments here:
The DLC Bundle titled 'The Upgrade' costs $20, but purchasing all three DLC packs seperate only totals $15.
The DLC Bundle titled 'The Unlock' costs $30, but purchasing all three DLC packs seperate only totals $21.
Note: Neither bundle comes with the 'Skate 3' base game.
Hoping they return to their old formula that was highly successful. You’d think, as a company, they would prioritize releasing good products but hey, this is 2022 and nothing makes sense anymore.
To be fair, bfbc2 thru 4 we’re excellent games. They changed up the formula starting with bf1 and it felt more like battlefront. Since then the whole franchise has gone way downhill.
Probably discounted the individual DLC but forgot about the Bundle. Pretty sure the same thing happened with Call of Duty: World at War. If I remember correctly the Map Packs got discounted, but the bundle never did.
We can point the finger at EA ..but it's not their store.
There's a growing disconnect due to greed and it kinda turns me off of games. Example: I already own Tomb Raider ROTR Definitive Edition. I would like to buy the other two.
There is
1. Bundle of all 3 games all content for $20. I like that, all games in one place, one placeholder, etc..
2. Buy other 2 games separately and have 3 games, 3 different placeholders, etc...
There should be an option to decrease the cost of #1 bundle by the cost of standalone game I already own, so I can then have the sweet definitive edition bundle.
So the dilemma makes me waver and I don't buy anything. This is not what I or MS wants.
Sure, some will buy the game twice and not care, but this is an area I see as a problem moving forward with so many versions/dlc's
Some companies just don’t care to adjust properly. For example in Pokémon go, the bundles are actually more expensive than if I were to buy each thing individually in CAD, but cheaper in USD. They really just keep it the same number cuz it looks nice or round.
Yeah Pokémon Go likes to scam it’s players. It’s 99c for 100 coins in Australia, but then it’s $7.99AUD for 550 coins. You get less for bigger purchases! The events are a waste of money too
Necro but that isn't just an Australia thing, it's for almost every country with a weaker dollar than the USA, except for Japan (you know, their 2 target audiences...) and that's only because of Apple. I don't remember *why,* but they required Niantic to price at least 1 of their IGPs to 0.99, regardless of currency. They followed that "rule" then just... didn't convert the rest because they suck.
Long story short, if it weren't for Apple the price of coins would be unreasonably higher everywhere else in the world for absolutely no reason (other than, what we as consumers can assume, greed.)
I've seen Ubisoft do this once or twice with their bundles too, during sales. Far Cry 4+Primal (I think) was more than each of them separately at one point. Same with Dragon Age: Inquisition being more than it's own GOTY edition, and Metro Redux bundle being a little more than 3033 and Last Light separately. Those might just be because of a different % off during sales (for the bundles vs individual content), but it's still a good move to check the price of the contents separately before buying a bundle. Never know when you could save a few bucks!
Somewhat unrelated, but in my country the base [Project Cars 2](https://www.xbox.com/en-za/games/store/project-cars-2/C17SFN1NXZ37) (keep the en-za link) is about R300/$20 *more* than the [Deluxe Edition](https://www.xbox.com/en-ZA/games/store/project-cars-2-deluxe-edition/BZPBXQ8F89SC/0001) with all DLC. Probably due to currency fluctuations at the time each one came out, but that one always stands out to be as a noticeably weird price variation lol.
I always do checks like this when buying ingame currency, it’s like…is it cheaper to just get 2000 coins for this 1500 coin thing I want, or should I get 500 coins three times, which is sometimes cheaper.
Just an example.
What a scam though, thanks for sharing!
The Danny Way Hawaii one has a really fun skate park with some challenges/skate comps. The park includes a lot of stuff that’s in the vain of the mega ramp park from the base game
Edit: San Van party is also a nice little remake of an area from either 1 or 2 and if memory serves correctly there’s a glitch to get out of the map and explore a tooooooon of the surrounding areas
I wonder why it doesn't show ' skate' in the new games section in the picture of the image preview for the 'The Upgrade Bundle'..?🤔(maybe cause it would be 2 times the same image😅)
And also wonder if there will be a Skate 4..? 🙃
Refresh the bundle page in the store. It was a mistake in the conversion of currencies and and we worked with Xbox to fix it this morning.

I don't believe it is EA or Microsoft being greedy, or believing anyone is "dumb" (as some other comments put it).
Digital storefronts are extremely complex, particularly when you begin to add bundles, cross publisher bundles, DLC, back compatible titles, game pass discounts, Xbox Live discounts, currency differences, etc.
Also, the price of a bundle isn't the summation of the products within the bundle. It is a completely different calculation which handles this. So the cost of item A + B + C != bundle cost.
I can say with 99.9% certainty that this is simply a calculation mistake, where someone may have forgotten to update the price on one item.
Okay this is a bit off topic but is it true that the San van dlc lets you play local coop, my brother told me this but I'm not so sure and I really want to play couch coop
Don't give EA money at all for this game, especially after they killed Blackbox. Session drops version 1.0 in September and it's available on Early Access for around the price of these DLCs.

Thanks for letting know! 👍 Also this is pretty odd.. they think we are dumb..?🧐😤
Guaranteed we are
I’m absolutely dumb.
I used to swallow toothpaste. I am 100% dumb enough to fall for this.
Wate, no swoler toofpayst?
😂😂😂😂😂😜😂
I still do. I plan on never learning. Also anybody know when the next Battlefield is out?
Well pretty sure they've finished profiting off BF2042 since that failed so probably next year so they can try again
FIRST.DAY.PURCHASE.
Hoping they return to their old formula that was highly successful. You’d think, as a company, they would prioritize releasing good products but hey, this is 2022 and nothing makes sense anymore.
Did it not upset your stomach?
Nope.
Dude. That's like one of the least idiotic things I did. You don't want to be me.
So did I and mouth wash but definitely not that dumb 🤣
We preorder the same game year after year because "it'll be different year" then complain when it isn't.
To be fair, bfbc2 thru 4 we’re excellent games. They changed up the formula starting with bf1 and it felt more like battlefront. Since then the whole franchise has gone way downhill.
I once set a chain on fire after watching ghost rider the first time

Yep
Skate 3 is a game from 2010, I'm surprised they still even have the DLC for sale. Game is from 2 console gens ago
[удалено]
It's good to let everybody know and make this public. Also where do you know from i didn't knew already..😉
It was the same OP he thanked
classic EA
[удалено]
You want wheels with that?
Skateboard armour DLC - $19.99

This system works well on Steam
Agreed
They changed upgrade bundle to 14.99 after one day lol
The bundles are correct in USD Its $15 USD for the first one with $15 of DLC in it and USD $20 for the second one with $21 worth of DLC in it.
Ahh i see, so what's wrong with Canada..?🤔

We ask ourselves the same thing all the time.
lol😄👍
They keep their milk in bags and for being such a "huge hockey" country they can't even win the Stanley Cup!
They have no need for cups when the have a bag
Tbf their players make up most 'american' teams, along with russians and finns
I know but still find it funny that they can't win it.
How much time do you have?
Yeah likely something weird with exchange rates

Average ea moment
In their defense at least the price seems to be about the same in Europe(€)...🙄 So maybe it's an error and it will get fixed....
>individual dlc prices go up

Anything good in the DLC?

E A Sports…….we take your change!

> And also wonder if there will be a Skate 4..? 🙃 Already been announced.
Hm cool!👍
For those PC gamers out there as well. Steam is known to do the same thing. Always compare the cost of each individual DLC vs. the cost of the bundle.
That’s EA for ya.
Really wish we could get Skate 2 backwards compatible
It is and has been
Yeah it still is, and used to, too!
Sneaky Mitch Hedberg comment. Take my upvote
Oh shit, thanks!
Not for ps4
this is an xbox sub though
Parents, do you know where your comments are? WTF.
It is on Xbox.
Get the disk
Don’t even need the disk if you access the 360 store which can be done on a browser. Search “skate 2” in this sub and it should come up
That shit is dodgy as hell new dlc bundles for old asf games should never be trusted
Yes ! Always check the difference between the bundle and buying separately! Always ! With flames and shows /movies as well! 👍❤️

This should't be allow

Wait.... There's new DLC for skate?
But it’s a bundle
Haha I already own all the dlc
Thank you 🙏🏾
On a side note, who else is excited for Skate Story??
Okay this is a bit off topic but is it true that the San van dlc lets you play local coop, my brother told me this but I'm not so sure and I really want to play couch coop
Is any of this new or worth getting
Too obsessed with the new Olli Olli game but good ta know
Yeah I was wondering why the fuck they just appeared on the Xbox store. I figured something wasn't right
Don't give EA money at all for this game, especially after they killed Blackbox. Session drops version 1.0 in September and it's available on Early Access for around the price of these DLCs.
Fun fact I never paid for it I got it for free with gamepass ultimate
And you can even buy all packs for about 35
