Microsoft was having a sale on all things Star Wars this weekend for the XBOX ONE
platform. The "May the 4th Be With You" sale included an upgrade of Star Wars: Battlefront
to the deluxe edition. For $20, I was able to buy a bunch of mission packs for the game,
including packs for Rogue One.
You'd think it'd be an easy upgrade, but it's not the most intuitive thing in the world.
There seems to be a distinct difference between what can be played without an online EA
account, and what requires it. As far as I can tell, everything I just bought is nowhere
to be found in the basic game. This is real bummer, because I don't want to require an
additional online account for kiddo just to play these new missions.
UPDATE: Perhaps the most disappointing thing about the revamped Battlefront code is that
the heroes all look awful. Chewbacca looks like he's made of pieces of wooden shingles;
Han and Luke's faces look terrible on the XBOX ONE.
