DAILY MANIFESTO

Battlefield 3 Beta Costs $53 Million Dollars on 360

Posted on Thursday, September 29 @ 08:40:52 Eastern by Anthony Severino

We know this is only a mistake, but if we don't point it out, then who's going to learn from it? Users are reporting that the Battlefield 3 beta, which is supposed to be free, is requiring an exorbitant amount of Microsoft Points to download. 4,294,967,295 points to be exact, or over $53 million dollars of real money.

If you check now, it's fixed. But Microsoft couldn't get to it before screens were grabbed, and lulz could be had.

I think they were secretly hoping someone would buy it before they changed it back...

It was hectic, fun, crazy, wild, and... it was Vegas, so I can't say anymore! I will say that I didn't win enough money to buy this beta.

I'm going to give the full run-down of my trip on the podcast. Make sure to tune in!

I always listen to the pod cast, and snicker at the all the dropped “R’s.”

seems a tad over priced. I understand they want to really show the true cost of war, but I mean, come on.
