Own XBOX copy, now want other formats instead

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:15 am

Love Skyrim infinitely. Now wife loves infinitely and no longer get to play because she's always on it and cannot afford another XBOX/Skyrim/TV.

How come when you buy a game on a console they don't let you download a PC copy, or give us a voucher to download it? I already paid for the special edition pre-release, I am not going to give Steam another $60 too for another copy so I can play cause my wife won't get off my xbox. I just don't see the value in fighting her for it or paying gamesas another pile of money for another copy I will only play when she is on the xbox. And don't give me a licensing answer or some other bureaucratic crap.

For the same reason my PC copy didn't come with a complimentary XBox 360 disk. :)

One copy of the game is just that, one copy. If you want two copies you need two - that's what my wife and I have. :shrug:

I don't think Beth owes you another copy because your wife hogs the Xbox dude. (I wish)

Honestly no offence, but this is probably the silliest complaint that I've seen yet haha.

Good luck though!

Sounds like you should step up and talk to your wife.

Because you only paid for one copy.

I just don't see the value in fighting her for it or paying gamesas another pile of money for another copy I will only play when she is on the xbox.

If you don't see the value in it, don't buy another copy.

And don't give me a licensing answer or some other bureaucratic crap.

I'll just leave this one alone.

That's like saying "how come when I buy car (let's say a Jetta) in black, why don't I get one in red?" Two different formats. And that "other bureaucratic crap" you are so eager to disregard has your answer.
