Realistically how cheap is Tomb Raider possibly going to be?

It's already 30 normally on GoD.

So it'll at least be 20.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

It's going to be disappointing if this is all there is, unless I've misunderstood what sort of sale this actually is. I'm waiting for things arcade games like Shadow Complex to go on sale, and the Mass Effect 3 DLC.

 

[muzzymate]

My 320GB hard drive is crying. Heading to Amazon for a 32GB USB stick.

 

[Cat Party]

Far Cry Instincts Predator is going on sale just a few weeks before Far Cry Classic releases on XBLA.

That's one way to get burnt out.

Far Cry Classic what what what?

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Will rebuy Forza Horizon if $20 or less. I miss that game.

Spoiler

I was going to go rebuy it new for $60 at Gamestop sometime this/next week, now I can hold out and grab it on sale during the sale, and hope my Xbox 360 runs the game!

 

[Leflus]

Do I need gold to buy the games? and more importantly, can I buy them without using the console?


Basically, I don't have internet at home at all, and actually haven't connected my 360 to internet yet at all; but I guess I can buy them now and download them later?

These sales tend to be open for everyone.

And yes, you can buy the games via xbox.com.

 

[shaowebb]

All I want is Deathsmiles 2x

 

[Verachi]

Great! I've thinking about buying these three games.
Assassin’s Creed 3
Bioshock Infinite
Borderlands 2

Hopefully the prices will be worth it.

Far Cry Classic what what what?

The original Far Cry is coming to XBLA in a few weeks for 560MSP:

Far Cry Classic is the ultimate console version of the very first Far Cry game, bringing you back to the roots of this franchise. It's another beautiful day in tropical paradise...or is it?

Choose to rely on firepower, strategy or stealth, abuse your freedom into massive outdoor environments, and fight for your life against tactically intelligent enemies. Features stunningly realistic foliage, real-time day and night cycles, drivable underwater, commandeer, or even flying vehicles, and more...

Game features
· Single player FPS
· Genre defining Open world system
· Immersive single player story

MAGIC MOMENTS
· Nostalgia triggered by the iconic environments of the level

[Phire Phox]

Looking to get Judgment and maybe MGS rising.

Hopefully, these types of sales will happen frequently on Xbone.

Was that game actually good? I remember enjoying the demo. And I assume it will be like 3 dollars for this sale.

It's fun if you are playing against someone who knows how to play, but the CPU can get brutally hard.

It's definitely worth $5 or less.

 

[gregor7777]

Kinda OT, but what are the limits on flash drive space nowadays on the 360? Can I simply buy the cheapest x amount of storage I can find and plug it in or should I be looking for certain brands/specifications?

32GB and don't buy cheapo's or they'll be too slow.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Perfect Dark Zero, really? Wow.

Definitely looking to pick up Tomb Raider if it's less than Amazon.

I'm playing through this right now ala GameFly and it's a great game.

 

[gregor7777]

32GB and don't buy cheapo's or they'll be too slow.

Thanks, I found this:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/storage

...but they're pretty vague on what speeds or brands I should be looking for except for recommending their house branded USB.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

they all seem to be around the $20 range...

Thanks a lot, will grab some of them probably then

32GB and don't buy cheapo's or they'll be too slow.

agh! that's sooo low, my 4GB cries Is there a way to use an external HD?

The original Far Cry is coming to XBLA in a few weeks for 560MSP:

Well, I'd say it would be worth it @280, cause only half of the game is good, after that I couldn't even force myself to play it [it goes from the open world tropical areas into confined areas where you kill monsters, etc. iirc]

 

[muzzymate]

Is there a way to use an external HD?

Only 32GB can be used for Xbox 360 game storage.

 

[brokenbeans]

Ok ill keep an eye on it.

 

[Eric WK]

I was joking, but yeah, I had some fun with it when it came out. It isn't incredibly deep, but it's challenging. I suspect multiplayer is dead, but perhaps this will spark some activity.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It was not Steam level. There were a couple of good deals in it, but they messed up on the storefront (in the UK at least, maybe in the US they didn't?) and most of those games were old and should have been cheaper.

There was no section of the store to see all the sale items, you had to find out online then search for them which was super stupid.

There were more than a couple of good deals and the mess up wasn't so much a mess up but more a delay in updating the store and adding the sales ad to the start dash.

 

[Mass Effect]

Pretty good list. Hopefully the prices will at least be half-way decent.

Will be watching.

 

[clav]

If Horizon is $15, I'll pick it up.

Missed that sale during the holidays.

 

[Gestault]

If they are $5 then that's an atrocity.

The original Far Cry is coming to XBLA in a few weeks for 560MSP:

I had no idea. One of my all time favorites.

 

[Majukun]

would this be worldwide or US only?

 

[Vamphuntr]

I got Command and Conquer 3 new and sealed for the 360 for 1.99$ during EB Canada spring clearance sale so I doubt they will beat that price

I'm ashamed to say I've never played PDZ, heard bad things about it but if it's cheap why not.

 

[Kevtones]

So ready. Also please drop Silent Hill HD to $5, thanks.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Between that list being quite impressive, the previous GoD sales being excellent, and the 32,450 MS points I'm currently sitting on, I can see myself picking up quite a few games next week.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

would this be worldwide or US only?

Worldwide.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Sale starts tomorrow. Any bold predictions on what we can expect?

Will it be at all like the last GoD sale with a number of games being reduced by 50% or more?

 

[Random Eclipse]

Sale starts tomorrow. Any bold predictions on what we can expect?

Will it be at all like the last GoD sale with a number of games being reduced by 50% or more?

I hope they aren't scared to drop games to the 5$ and 10$ mark.

 

[Eusis]

I hope they aren't scared to drop games to the 5$ and 10$ mark.

They actually did that VERY recently, but it was mainly just ancient games.

 

[toythatkills]

Sale starts tomorrow. Any bold predictions on what we can expect?

Will it be at all like the last GoD sale with a number of games being reduced by 50% or more?

Anything older than about four years will be $5. Anything newer than that will be 33-50% off.

There might be the odd anomaly, like XCOM is £50 (?!) in the UK and will probably drop to £15.

 

[Stephan1237]

if Judgement / Horizon are under the 20 € then its a sale. Excited what the hungarian marketplace brings us (Dishonored for 10 € last time)

 

[LorDjidane]

Let's remember games like Max Payne 3 were at $5 and TTT2 were at $10. I have pretty good expectations (of course, I'm not expecting BI and such to hit below the $30 mark).

Time to enjoy the huge MSP stock some of use got for cheap a month ago.

 

[Vert boil]

Sale starts tomorrow.

Unless I've missed an update saying the start date, the sale will most likely officially start on Tuesday.

If that is the case prices should start dropping around midnight to two am monday night (GMT), or late monday evening US time.

 

[edgardavids]

Best sports game this generation and I say that with all seriousness.

Come on now. It was a nice little distraction before GTA 4, nothing more.

My 320GB hard drive is crying. Heading to Amazon for a 32GB USB stick.

Sorry to be dense, but why not just uninstall some games that you aren't playing? If you delete a game you've purchased you know you can re-download it anytime right? I'm sure you do, but just checking!

 

[The Lamp]

whats with the sales from ms dam. will be picking up some of those.

They're feeling the heat of competition from Steam, Amazon, and especially PS+. Go capitalism.

 

[DJ Lushious]

I'm really hoping for a good price on X-Com. It has been so heavily discounted everywhere else, but I would like to play it on the console.

 

[Sec0nd]

They really did have fantastic prices last time that did such a sale. Looking forward to see the discounts. Really interested in Tomb Raider, Hitman and The Witcher if they are around the 15 euro mark.

 

[ghosttouchdowns]

Max Payne 3 was $15 during the winter sale. But Tekken and other newer games were down at $10.

A lot of good games here. I hope MGS: RIsing is on one of the early days cause that game's price will dictate how much I spend on other games. Im interested to see how cheap Witcher 2 will get.

 

[LorDjidane]

Max Payne 3 was $15 during the winter sale. But Tekken and other newer games were down at $10.

Well here in Europe, MP3 was (at the equivalent of) $5.

 

[TheMan]

borderlands 2 will be mine.

 

[EvB]

Borderlands 2
Far Cry 3
Forza Horizon
Gears Judgement
Witcher 2
X-com: Enemy Unknown


These are the ones I'm looking at, even though I already have XCOM on iPad and PS+.
