Xbox Live Ultimate Game Sale Preview
- Thread starter statham
- Start date
Are you sure that wasn't Crysis 2? I just checked online and the lowest I saw was $35ish.
Last time this sale was going on, I made quite the profit(store credit-wise) by purchasing games On Demand and trading my physical copies in at GameStop. I don't own as many of these titles, but if I get time at work(GS...I know) tomorrow, I'll get the current trade values for these games and post them here for any of you who are interested. There are several maybes on the list for me, but the one I'm watching closest is Forza Horizon. It's a maybe for me at $20, a probably at $15, and a definitely at $10. It's the game I've had the most fun with during this hardware cycle. My manager gave me a copy for free when it first came out, which I sold for $40 so I could get the Limited Edition. Having it installed without needing a disc would be super awesome. I don't know what it is about that game that does it for me, but man...it does.

Yes, that chance is between slim and zero.
Yeah, but had no idea it was on the PC as well. Thought it was a console exclusive sequel or something.
Should be open to silver.

It's unrelated, but it seems a few games were reduced in price recently.

Hopefully this is as good as the last sale. Max Payne 3 for £4 (or close to it) was great.
Finally. It was still $60 when I checked last month.

Are you talking about the first Saints Row?
On my store (FR), the first one isn't available for purchase. The second one is 30. The third one is 20. Wow.

Yep. It's a pretty mediocre Silent Hill game, but a somewhat decent psychological horror title. Would have been better as a new IP.
Sorry, should have clarified. It's The Third. The best one is still the most expensive.
I hope so. I need to spend some money.
kinda expected it but still disappointing

If it is anything like last time then prices will start to change in about 10 hours or so.

It's not, but it's great. Lots of quality hours in that one. $20 or less, it's a must-have.

Orange Box at $10 was already insane value at $60. Anyone who hasn't played it (I envy you), get this already!

All our fault. It's because they had to do a 180 with the Xbox One. With 24 hour check-ins we would've got Steam like deals on consoles, thats what I've been told. Right guys? guys?

Lol at the xbone engineer arguing 'steam like pricing'. Cold day in hell before that happens on a Microsoft console.

Seems to be fake.
Checked some games and are priced as usually.

Only the ones in red are the known sale prices. The ones without are still pending the sale price.

Not fake, just not all games are on sale on day 1.

Yep. Pretty disappointing after the last few sales.
Ah well, will save my 12k in points for something else.

Isn't Halo 3 and one other game free starting today for Gold subs?
That's not including DLC, is it...

Yeah that's not happening. The first free game is defence grid. Another game will be free in the 16th. Halo 3 and Ac2 were just mentioned as part of the program. Disappointing.
Dunno yet.

Wait, what?!
I thought the announcement was clearly saying July 1st for tgose two games :/
Nah, someone made a thread about it. It's that Defense Grid game, at least for this half of the month.
