Price difference

[zipgun 0]

Hey guys,

Did anyone else notice or experience this? I bought my supporters edition for about $20 less than it states now. Can any BIS rep confirm this. My steam library came with the Alpha and X and coldwar etc. Check out these screens one has a white background cause I used Foxit to print it. But you get the idea.

And now it looks like this.

Did they give me the wrong one? etc? As I did not get any of the soundtracks, maps and guides etc. I contacted support. But trying here as well.

Price was bouncing around between those two numbers for quite a few people. I and others got ours for the same you did.

Haven't checked for the maps or soundtracks yet.

It states right in the information that the maps and soundtrack will not be available until the full game. Read.

*These items will only be available in English and will be distributed upon the full release of Arma 3.

[Maslofski 10]

The extras like soundtracks and guides are released with the FULL game, not with the alpha cause so much will change ;)

EDIT: And you learn some manners. See how the others replied? They did so with maturity. Instead of being immature. You READ?! My kids have better manners than you.

And you kid, learn some manners. See how the others replied they did so with maturity. Instead of being a immature jerk. You READ?!

What's with the name calling? I'm not being a jerk about it, just stating that you should probably read the fine print before ever making a purchase, it's common sense.

You should be long time around here now to know that name calling is not tolerated here. All Nicholas did was telling you to read the information already given. The same advice we would have given you too. Almost all information needed at this point is present. You just have to do some research to find it.

Please refrain from insulting people here.

Understood and re-edited. But one only has to look at the other posters and you'll see what I mean who really insulted who. And NO I hardly ever use forums for this very reason check my join date and post count. But again we all know what HE meant. And don't worry it won't happen again as I blocked list people like that anyway.

The lower price in the page is actually the current price in the BI Store as of this post; earlier today the regular and Digital Deluxe prices in the BI Store were lower than at Steam, hence I'm waiting on them to return.

So are you saying he should READ your post count? You're doing the exact same thing that you just said mature people don't do.

We do not get into arguments about the forum moderation around here. If you have a problem with a moderator's comments, please take it up with him in PM. Thank you.

Huh?!! He should READ my post count? What does that mean? That doesn't even make any sense. And who was arguing? I didn't argue nor did I disagree with any mod. All I said was I DON'T use forums because of rude posters and that's why I only have a really small post count (13 posts total) in 8 years and just pointing out how polite the others were and how rude one was that's not arguing.

Ask the other posters if I was arguing or disagreeing with anyone as I blocked listed the rude guy the moment he posted that. So I have no idea how you came to think this..I even thanked each of the nice posters who replied

No offense but I can tell some of the moderators are not fluent English speakers hence why you guys may be misunderstanding me. The only thing I told the moderator was one single word understood and I tried to be nice by even editing out what I told that rude poster. Ask anyone here, my reply had nothing to do with the mod whatsoever and again I really do not know why you would even think that. :confused:

I mean really read thru the whole thread all I was questioning was the price difference at BIS's store and ONE rude poster blew everything out of proportion. Everything was fine and dandy till that guy posted his ill remarks. Everyone else was like I said very nice. But when misunderstandings like this occur? Its yet again a major reason why I hardly post on any forum. One small question a stranger rudely tells me to learn to read, I stand up for myself (as I'm a female and it was a rude remark that was said) then everything gets blamed on me and now I also get called immature by a mod as well. See why I hardly post? :(

Thankfully, by about 4:30 am Eastern (almost twenty-four hours after the alpha had gone on sale!) all three editions were back in the store at the aforementioned lower prices ($24.87 Alpha, $43.53 Digital Deluxe, $74.64 Supporter) and as of this post they are still on the store at those prices!

EDIT: Tvrdi, I just took a look and it's still showing the prices that I mentioned.

Higher prices are up again. NM, its good to support devs directly, buying a game from their store. I did that.

That's great glad you got it. Saving money is always a good thing :D But I still think it was a glitch when their page crashed or maybe they were nice enough to give a discount because of the crash delay. Oh well who knows? Just 1st time Ive ever seen this happen.

I agree as even at $76 and still a high price for a PC game, but yup I'm willing to support good developers who listen to their customers and make quality games and I can only think of a few this, KOTOR, Fallout and borderlands. Pretty much to me? Its mainly the sandbox games tho Hitman Absolution was good as well. But again just a handful of good company's. But all the rest of the so called " military shooters" all cookie cutter games from huge corporations who just want $$$. Their games play (single play) out in less the 5hrs at most. ARMA? Heck one can play forever with its mod, and single play support due to everything being AI driven unlike the rail riders. Lastly all other games offer for DLC's is MP maps or modes. I can't play those games as they feel like everyone is on steroids and moving a 50mph etc.

Hehe sorry for the little rant and yes I'll continue to support good Dev's and have supported BIS for along time as Ive bought everything from OFP to all the ARMA's, Takeon helicopters, IF 1944, every Arma DLC and now this pre-order. Oh yeah and Fallout 4 is supposed to come out I dont when but their making one LOL I still haven't gone thru the 1st one yet now that's one game that takes forever to play. Wish I had the time. Sigh..

Well ARMA 3 runs great for us (gaming family) on our slowest PC we're getting 40-high 50's FPS with max at 1920x1080 so the full should run better. And the discount was an added bonus.Thanks again BIS for what looks to be another hit! :D

That makes me angry :( I would have loved to save $20
