Xbox Ultimate Game Sale (Begins July 7th)

Not really that inspired by this deal, maybe because I am still balls deep in the Witcher 3 and PCars.

There are a couple of games I would like, but they'd just go into the pile of other unplayed games, so I think maybe nows the time to man up and not buy things just because they are on sale..........

Still, tempted by Borderlands pre-sequel and Screamride...............
 
I'll probably pick up Tales From Borderlands and I'm on the fence about The Handsome Collection. Already 100% Borderlands 2 but never played the Pre-Sequel.
 
Is the xbox360 version of The Orange Box worth it for novelty's sake, having the original unpatched TF2 included might be hard to find in the future....

What about Titanfall or Destiny on 360, they worth it just to have in the backlog?

Orange Box on 360 is a must even without TF2, but I hope you already played HL2 and Portal :p

Titanfall is great but keeping a mp-only game in the backlog is not a smart idea imho, especially because there's a better next-gen version and the playerbase will slowly move towards the newer console (there's a 0,0001% chance of seeing Titanfall 2 on 360)
I don't know how is Destiny but there's a demo on the marketplace and a newer version incoming that includes the game, the first 2 expansions and a third one which is not included in the Season Pass. The GonD version is worth it if you're going to buy an Xbox One because it should be cross-buy

Might buy a few 360 games like orange box and gta, but I wish we had a list of pending BC titles. I wont be able to play them otherwise and don't want to buy something that may not get supported for whatever reason.

Yeah I'm solely a PC gamer now with the exception of Rock Band 3 (for customs) So I've played all the modded versions of Half-Life... I grabbed the Orange Box, can't believe it's ONLY 3.92GB. WOW.

boy how I wish Titanfall on 360 had offline/local splitscreen multiplayer, I'd buy it just for that. :(

I'll think about Destiny, playerbases matter since all my console pleb buddies are on PS4, so a 360 version would be solely for my own singleplayer purposes.
 
Nothing I really want in this sale 360-wise, that I don't mind waiting to see if they'll turn up in GwG instead. Already have all the X1 games I wanted.
 
Booyah. Snagged Ori from the Russian store using this method here:
https://www.avforums.com/threads/buying-games-from-foreign-regions-faq-in-first-post.1846057/

Bought a 500 ruble gift card from the Russian Microsoft store and then got Ori for 319 rubles. So I've got some left over for the next foreign purchase. The 500 ruble code was delivered instantly on the website as well as via email.

Get it from the Russian store if you really want it, as it is dirt cheap from there. Read a few posts up to see how.

How do you know if the game will be in English?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Is Batman Lego really good? I enjoy the LEGO games and the Deluxe Edition for £14.37 is tempting.
Also tempted by Halo: TMCC for £27.
Shame DR3 isn't on sale.
 
Just picked up Tales From Borderlands.

Still on the fence about Handsome Collection. This will sound like an odd question, my 360 is broke and I have a save for Borderlands 2 and I'm not sure if my save is in the cloud. Is there anyway to check from my PC or Xbox One for what games I have cloud saves for?

Someone at Xbox needs to look up the definition of 'ultimate' cause the sale on the AU marketplace is fucking crud.

Waste of time.

How does that work? I buy Destiny on 360 and I'll get it for free on Xbox One?

I think if you own the license for the 360 version, the X1 version appears as free on the Marketplace.

That's what happens with AC4 Season Pass, BF4 Premium and COD Ghosts Season Pass, if you own the 360 version (cross-buy promotion on these should've expired months ago but was still working recently)

Titanfall averages around 1000-2000 players a day on 360 - it probably won't sink much lower. I'd go for it for $15 if you're aware it's going to be useless one day though so will the other versions.
 
I've already got Ori. ;-P

Might get a couple 360 games likely to get BC like Gears 2 and 3 or something. Mass Effect 2 perhaps.

That is, if available.

The 360 version needs to have the latest compatibility patch with the cloud save option in the main menu. You need to upload your save from Borderlands 2 on 360 before downloading it into Xbox One.

I did it last night.

Handsome Collection has sound mix and framerate issues on one.
