Well, at least we know none of this transfers this time.

MCD · « **Reply #2 on:** June 28, 2013, 11:44:03 AM »

I'd love to double dip on some of these games but two issues still remain:

- MS should enable USB HDDs just like they are doing on X1.
- A lot of multi discs games aren't available because devs can't be arsed to make their games into a 1 single iso at this point. Some games like Max Payne prompt you to download the 2nd disc once you reach the switch part lol.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #3 on:** June 28, 2013, 01:03:32 PM »

Another problem is that the sale prices will be bullshit

demi · « **Reply #4 on:** June 28, 2013, 01:05:56 PM »

The prior sale had a bunch of good deals. But most were relatively older than the ones listed here.

Prey is on sale? That game isn't even on steam any more, I thought it was lost to the legal grey zone.

cool breeze · « **Reply #6 on:** June 29, 2013, 07:23:44 PM »

I think Steam just ran out of Prey CD/serial keys during an old Steam sale.

chronovore · « **Reply #7 on:** June 30, 2013, 07:43:12 PM »

I'm prolly in for Lego titles and XCOM. Maybe Far Cry 3.

maxy · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2013, 06:00:42 PM »

Prices are dropping,check XBL.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #9 on:** July 01, 2013, 06:44:24 PM »

Okay, so I bought Crysis from xbox.com, and when I go to my downloads on the 360 it says "assigned to another console." Now, transferring all my licenses was the first thing I did when got my new 360. So, anyway, I had to cancel out and redownload. Now I'm trying to buy something else, and it keeps throwing a "Sorry, to make sure it's compatible log in on your 360 and try again" error, even though I'm looking right at the 360, logged on, as I try it.

I mean, if you're looking for a preview of your goddamned console digital future, there it is. Blows my mind some people were willing to believe that shit wouldn't be riddled with incompetence and hassle 99% of the time.

Perfect Dark Zero - $3
Prey - $3

Lotsa "so Xbox won't ever have Steam-type sales, HMMMMM?" cheesing over yonder. Shut up and enjoy your cheap games twice a year, you fucking yahoos.

Momo · « **Reply #12 on:** July 02, 2013, 01:26:00 AM »

Microsoft trying to squeeze some extra profit out of digital sales at the end of a generation is hardly the same as normally low PC prices and regular sales from various sources including steam themselves.

chronovore · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2013, 01:50:35 AM »

Bayonetta's also $19.99

iconoclast · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2013, 03:00:41 AM »

I haven't liked a WWE game since SvR07, but I think I'm going to buy WWE 13 anyway. $:-\$

Trent Dole · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2013, 03:19:39 AM »

Well shit those ARE some deals there.

Pills Here · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2013, 07:18:56 AM »

Borderlands 2 is $9.99.

I've picked up Bulletstorm so far.

chronovore · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2013, 07:33:37 AM »

Max Payne 3 is, considering its size, the best value per gigabyte.

Made Swiss account,added 2000 points

Bought Bulletstorm(160pts) and Borderlands 2(400 points)

chronovore · « **Reply #20 on:** July 02, 2013, 08:09:53 AM »

far Cry 3 and FC Predator are both region checked prior to purchase. I still haven't worked out the VPN trick yet, so I'm waving off from these. :'(

With the xbone, yeah

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #23 on:** July 02, 2013, 11:04:13 AM »

Damn I kinda wish I had waited on Borderlands 2 now.

I'm tempted to get Perfect Dark Zero because I loved the infection mode in multiplayer in that but I have a feeling nobody is ever playing it at this late stage of the game.

cool breeze · « **Reply #24 on:** July 02, 2013, 11:11:55 AM »

I'm considering Far Cry Instincts. I liked the Xbox version and never played that second campaign that's included in the 360 port. And there was that story about how points expire in a year or something, so I need to spend them anyway.

People were playing PDZ online as late as last year. I don't know if it's still the case, but I remember thinking it was crazy that I could play the game on a whim and find people playing co-op or multiplayer.

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** July 02, 2013, 11:24:33 AM »

How I believe it works is:

- If you have points on your account, it gets converted to money, this new money expires after a year

- If you have point cards, and you redeem them, and those get converted, that new money expires after a year

- If you have point cards, and you redeem them AFTER conversion, those will not expire, since they will still accept point cards for a time yet until it is phased out for the new money cards

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #26 on:** July 02, 2013, 12:26:29 PM »

I bought FC Instincts Predator

OG Xbox portup total

demi · « **Reply #27 on:** July 02, 2013, 01:00:27 PM »

It was one of the first X360 games released, lol. I remember renting it from GameFly so long ago...

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #28 on:** July 02, 2013, 01:04:06 PM »

So far it's not a bad game, it's just uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly

I'm impressed by what they pulled off with Crysis 360. I only bought it because I can never get the PC version running worth a damn. No matter how much I tweak it, it's still a stuttering mess.

demi · « **Reply #29 on:** July 02, 2013, 01:07:03 PM »

They are actually releasing a "Far Cry Classic" on XBLA, lol

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #30 on:** July 02, 2013, 01:08:01 PM »

Yeah, I read that somewhere the other day. I'll probably buy that, too, I think I read it's only going to be $7.

MCD · « **Reply #31 on:** July 02, 2013, 06:56:27 PM »

Trent Dole · « **Reply #34 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:25:08 PM »

Total for all the Borderlands 2 stuff is 2400 points where the base game was on sale for 800 today lol. Would a season pass get you all of that stuff or what is left out? I grabbed BL2 and WWE13 so far, Lego Batman 2 is the other main thing that interests me so I'll snag that as well in a bit. May jump on REVENGENCE and Witcher 2 if their prices are decent.

demi · « **Reply #35 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:26:42 PM »

Season Pass gives you everything, I believe. I believe Tiny Tina is the last DLC as well.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #36 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:28:17 PM »

Ah, pass costs the same as buying all that stuff separately would right now. Maybe if I really dig it and want more I'll do that later.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #37 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:38:07 PM »

That's probably the smart move. If you're only gonna get one of the dlc packs, get Mr. Torgue's. It's the bomb diggity.

Rufus · « **Reply #38 on:** July 02, 2013, 11:06:02 PM »

I liked the pirate themed one more. The hunter one is just bleh, haven't tried the tiny tina one yet.

chronovore · « **Reply #39 on:** July 02, 2013, 11:56:11 PM »

Lego Batman 2
Assassins Creed 3
Far Cry 3

Region cockblocked.

Kinect Sports Season 2: ok :'(

maxy · « **Reply #40 on:** July 03, 2013, 02:30:17 AM »

MS published games always region free,I think.

chronovore · « **Reply #41 on:** July 03, 2013, 04:59:35 AM »

Nope! I thought so too, but Fable 3 was region locked until about 3 days ago.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #42 on:** July 03, 2013, 07:43:59 PM »

Crysis 3 $19.99 USD
The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings $9.99 USD
The Orange Box $4.99 USD

demi · « **Reply #43 on:** July 03, 2013, 08:07:05 PM »

Orange Box is a crazy good deal.

HL2 + Ep1 + Ep2 + Portal + TF2(lolz) for 400pts

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #44 on:** July 03, 2013, 08:08:30 PM »

Left 4 Dead 2 $9.99

chronovore · « **Reply #45 on:** July 03, 2013, 10:37:40 PM »

Lego Batman 2 actually went through today, and booted.

On the other hand, Kinect Sports Season 2 didn't complete its download.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #46 on:** July 04, 2013, 12:14:30 AM »

Forza Horizon is $15 bucks also. Great game imo.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #47 on:** July 04, 2013, 12:18:59 AM »

Yeah live is slow as fuck and disconnecting repeatedly in the wake of this sale. Got two of my three so far. Dunno if I wanna bother with more since I'll not get to all of these anytime soon and DW8 is two weeksih off.

MCD · « **Reply #48 on:** July 04, 2013, 01:59:00 AM »

Forza Horizon is tempting for my bro's kids when they visit. mmmmmmmm
