[Xbox] There are two versions of Battlefield 1943
by Noobgamer0111Original Post
Hello everyone!
Issue: EA is selling two different versions of the same game, and has not linked them up properly (e.g. buying the 360 build should allow you to get the One and Series builds).
Background: I've noticed this strange DRM issue with Battlefield 1943. I recently purchased a grey market code for Battlefield 1: Revolution Edition (Xbox), and I received Battlefield 1943 as a bonus for it.
As you can see in the above image, the BF1943 version refers to this link: https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/games/store/battlefield-1943/C1QQ7GM9HLKG.
This was fine, I thought. A free game is a free game, no complaints from me.
Yet on the marketplace link (https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-AU/Product/Battlefield-1943/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025841097e), the store is asking me to pay $15 AUD for the game that I had thought I had purchased.
HOWEVER: That particular version of BF1943 refers to the Xbox One and Series S|X builds, despite having a 360 logo on its cover page. It's also listed as a One and Series game in the Capabilities section.
Result: I (the owner of the game) cannot download BF1943 to my 360, and can only play it on my One or Series console.
Notes: This is the only BF cross-platform game that has two different versions sold to consumers.
