Being a US-only holiday Microsoft is only going to offer the snips in price to US gamers, which will see various DLC packs and XBLA titles slash by over a third.
Microsoft’s Major Nelson has posted that ”due to a lot of issues it was not possible” to extend this sale in other regions. Money is the issue, as I’m sure the universe wouldn’t mind.
”I gave the feedback about having this available for other regions, but due to a lot of issues it was not possible. :( “ wrote the Major, while showing his displeasure at the situation with a sad smiley face.
So much for a global gaming community where we can all live in blissful harmony and enjoy one another’s cultures and product discount promotions. For shame Microsoft!
