Top Ten Microtransactions Of 2006

January 2nd, 2007
This list was compiled by Gamersfeast using data from Microsoft’s website. Now, I have nothing against a developer for putting out 10 or so new maps for online play for a price, they should, it took time to make them. However, I, and millions of other gamers, do have a problem against developers for charging money for an extra car in a game or for a “key” to unlock more parts of a game, stuff that could have been easily included in the retail version. How much longer are we going to be in the “Microtransaction era?” Will it be much different in 07? Will we be able to complete a game without buying extra content to finish it? Here’s a list of how much extra content there is per game. No surprise that EA is at the top.
1. Need for Speed Carbon – $35.73 – Electronic Arts
2. The Godfather – $30.80 – Electronic Arts
3. Test Drive Unlimited – $30.61 – Atari
4. Oblivion – $24.11 – Bethesda
5. Chromehounds – $23.74 – Sega
6. Call of Duty 2 – $14.99 – Activision
7. Tiger Woods 07 – $14.24 – Electronic Arts
8. Ridge Racer 6 – $11.99 – Namco
9. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – $11.24 – Ubisoft
10. Eragon – $10.00 – Vivendi Games
10. Kameo – $10.00 – Microsoft
10. PGR 3 – $10.00 – Microsoft
