    They'll almost certainly be revoked, as that's what happened on PS4 when the exact same thing happened.

    Mad that it happened on both consoles.

    Slight difference in that the DLC hadn't been released at that stage. What happens on XBOne to people who managed to "buy" and download everything? Could end up being a PR disaster and might be a better option to just swallow it.

    To be honest, the PR hit wouldn't be large. Everyone knew that the price was wrong. Even if you didn't read it on a website, and just happened to come across it on Xbox.com, you still wouldn't have a reasonable belief that a recently released game should be free. While there's going to be a free complaints and grumblings, no one will care long term.

    As far as i know, it's the same from the legal standpoint as well, Microsoft will be able to cancel the contract (i.e. the purchase) with you because no one should believe that a new game should be so heavily discounted.

    Oh absolutely, if anyone got it, they full well know it was a fluke and can have no complaints if it's revoked. Still, would be interesting to see some stats on it. I wonder how many downloads there were globally.

    Downloaded and tried APB
    Christ the game is bad, the mechanics feel all off, the aiming is terrible and the shooting just as bad.
    Not to mention the driving, also having to hold down a button to get into a car is annoying.

    I'm seeing that more and more in games these days to do different actions and it's super annoying. Especially when there are no other actions assigned to a single press of a button. It's one of the things that bugs me playing hitman at the moment.

    pain in the hoop - x to take cover, x to reload, x to dodge, x to use keypad, x to open doors.

    the division is particularly guilty of this. and it always messes you up by making you climb over cover when you wanted to duck or generally does the opposite of what you intended.

    I can appreciate the attempt to streamline a load of commands, but at least make them somewhat responsive.

    For the sake of balance, Max complaining about the driving doesn't necessarily mean the driving is bad.....

    I would say it's the worst part of the game, which I deleted withing 20 mins of starting, one of the worst games I've played on xbox one.
