Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition False Advertising

Well you could have your other son who didn't get the crates log into his account and buy the elite upgrade. It's only $20

At least you get to share the disc and not have to buy two full elite trooper editions ,so  there is a silver lining.

NOTE: DO NOT let son with the upgrades do it because you get the same exact items unlocked. He'll just have duplicates he can't use because they're already unlocked.

If it's any consolation I paid $95.00 for ZELDA in 1998 on the N64 on day one , so prices really haven't changed a whole lot in my opinion. In fact with Amazon Prime games are much cheaper.

In hindsight you could have purchased the vanilla disc of SWBF2 on Amazon Prime for $48.00 (pre-order price with Prime discount) and then buy two elite trooper edition upgrades  for $20.00 each.

$48.00 standard disc off Amazon
$20.00 elite upgrade for son 1
$20.00 elite upgrade for son 2


$88.00 Grand Total

"The reasonable conclusion is that these benefits would be available to anyone playing with the disc in that box. No mention is made that these bonuses come in the form of crates. you have to input a code to get the bonus content. OK, no problem, I have this xbox as my home console, so my two sons and I will all get to use the bonuses. WRONG! Only the account signed in when the code is redeemed gets the bonuses. The insert card with the code makes no mention of crates nor does it, or the box, make any mention that the bonus content is limited to a specific account"

HI bud, 

Before spouting legalities, where did they state that "all accounts" get access to the elite edition? you stated yourself "The reasonable conclusion is that these benefits would be available to anyone playing with the disc in that box"

I have marked the words for you how you just defeated your own argument, in order for them to "mislead" you would be to say "it is for all accounts" as it is pretty logical that you get it for 1 Account, if I play on origin on an account and use codes for it however i cannot use it on another account, same goes for Xbox, you got the bonus' in code form, thus it is only activated to the activating account.

It is a form of "license key" and they usually are for one person only.

Here is what is advertised on a site that will be taken from the source;

If you are that bothered about spouting legalities, please feel free to open a court case, however I don't think you would win.

I'm in the same boat. Multiple kids who want to play but I only bought one Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition because I expected the bonus content to work like it did on the last Battlefront game. The fact that there isn't anything on the game disk packaging stating otherwise makes this situation sound like bait & switch/false advertising  unless EA does something significant to right this wrong, they've probably seen the last of my business.
