Microsoft may be to serious about money, guys.

So i was just flipping through the market place and came upon a Cod Black Ops dlc in the "new releases" section. Something must have gone horribly wrong. Check it out!

Thats a lot of cash!

Fucking Micro$oft...the ba$tards.

Oh Microsoft.. you so crazy.

Don't be so cheap.

It's worth it bro, cod's fuggin sick

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for DLC today.

Is that how much Peter Molyneuxs child costs?

Doing the math, this calculates to roughly $53,687,091.19. What am I Romney?

That's not MS Points, that's in Zimbabwean Dollars. $429,426,729,50. is about the price of a bunch of bananas over there. So it's a pretty good deal if you ask me,

Sneaky!

aren't they using USD's in zimbabwe now?

also I'm pretty sure there was just an error and that's the highest value you can have of microsoft points.

Course this happened with Minecraft on the 360 when it came Out if i recall right. Chances are its just a bug. 

If anyone is curious that is the largest number that can be represented in a 32bit unsigned integer. The way signed integers are defined, the same bits that define that huge number (2^32 - 1) as an unsigned integer also represent a -1 in signed integers.

Haha. People are so strait and literal around here. OP knows it's a bug, he's just making fun and people have to be so matter-of-fact about everything lol. It's hilarious.

Well what are you waiting for, you dope? Add some Microsoft Points!

We need to pool together the $53.7m worth of Microsoft points to actually purchase this.

I guess no one in Italy gives a shit about COD or otherwise someone would have fixed it by now.

PS: You can't even have that much on your account. I think the max is 70k or something like that.

not an error, this what they do to anything that's meant to be limited or not sold to the public. Same thing happened to things like gold weapons in gears. People used to just link to the download so now they make it impossible to purchase and basically require codes.

Unless you're Italian then ya shit be fucked

First the horrible E3 conference, NOW THIS. DAMN YOU MICROSOOOOOFT....

@The_Tolman: THE NUMBERS! WHAT DO THEY MEAN!!!

Same thing came up when Minecraft first launched on the 360. Just a hiccup as far as I can tell.

-1 does not equal 430 million. I am a statistician, so I know this.

This is why it happened.

tldr version - Its a bug.

Every time I add them up, I always get 23! Someone call Jim Carrey.

To our knowledge. But of you believe in the multiverse theory then it is possible that in some other universe -1 does actually equal 4.3 billion. And in some other universe I didn't make this post.

You heard it here first, Microsoft is an inter-dimensional company bent on world domination. Kind of like Pinky and The Brain, but not as cute.

This fellow is correct, this was the case with halo reach via the on demand service prior to release. It is there to prevent purchase of content that needs to be available to some but unavaliable to others. In this case, it is likely an American (notice the mccain avatar pic) is trying to download the Italian version of the DLC. MS is likely trying to help by preventing the purchase of unusable DLC.

In Soviet Russia, 430 Million DOES equal -1. Sorry about that.

I'll email them and tell them I like to be kissed when I'm getting fucked.

Micro$oftlol

Just sign up to xbiox live rewards and do a survey every week for the next billion years and you can buy it.

I think I'll wait until it's on sale.

This made me laugh.

4 8 15 16 23 42

That's what Microsoft do with new releases, if it gets onto the marketplace before release it will be a stupidly large price, so nobody will buy it.

@TooWalrus: I see what you did there...

Why so cheap? Huh Micro$oft?

This happens every now and then, its just a bug in the system, they usually fix it within a day or so...

I think Microsoft also set Halo: Reach at that price, so people couldn't buy it, but reviewers got send a code and could redeem it through Xbox Live to download the game.

This never would have happened if we could pay with Brad Bucks.

this is the best thing that i've ever seen
