 Send to email | Pay-Per-P Pricing Fading From Xbox Video Marketplace? [Price Confusion] in Price Confusion hdnetMicrosoft PointsOriginalRing of HonorXbox 360 |  By Stephen Totilo
el 06-Jul-2009 |  Two months ago, we reported that some video content on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace was priced high. 720 points ($9 USD) for a one hour 720p video. That's changed, a little.
It seemed like the prices for Ring of Honor pro wrestling and M-1 Challenge MMA series were off. But Microsoft told Kotaku that they were not typos. HD Net, the network that puts them on, did not offer us an explanation. Two months later, those prices have been dropped for Ring of Honor, but not for the MMA show. Old ROH pricing (which looked suspiciously like someone put the resolutions of the clips in the price column): 
New ROH pricing (which is still higher than than the 160/240points SD/HD seen for shows like ABC's Lost): 
The new prices convert to $4 for SD and $6 for HD, for an hour of programming. I had checked the prices a couple of weeks ago, and they had not yet changed. Thanks to reader Ravi for noticing that they finally dropped. Pay-Per-P pricing lingers, but it's lost at least one foothold. [PIC]

Hello, Guest

You'll never forget how much some 720p videos cost on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Fans of the fighting arts may be wondering, like me, why some videos on the Xbox 360 Marketplace are so expensive. They have easy-to-remember price points, but those price points are high. Wa [..]

The US video marketplace launched in November, 2006. In case you just joined us, it's now December 2008, and poor old Japan still doesn't have access to a store of their own. Courtesy of the console's increased popularity in the country, however, that's about t [..]
