Xbox Ultimate Game Sale (Begins July 7th)

I recommend Halo MCC at this price, it's cool to have the entire (except Reach) Halo saga on the HD, since Xbox is a Halo machine. Also, the excellent ODST is only $5

I might get borderlands and diablo 3, mostly for couch coop.

how is the framerate on splitscreen for borderlands?
 
Man, Rockstar is really not going out of their way to discount GTA V in any significant fashion. Just been a series of Shark Card pack ins with modest discounts. Crying shame given the slashing they've done on Steam and PSN.

Isn't the GTAV sale the exact same as the Steam summer sale discount? Basically just GTAV at normal price with some free Shark Card currency?

Sorry for the dumb question, but is the Microsoft store linked in any way to the Xbox marketplace? I have $50 in credit with the former, but don't know if it's strictly usable there and nowhere else.
 
Does the Pre-Sequel add anything interesting the Borderlands formula or is it more of the same?

I enjoyed my time with the first 2 games, but got really burnt out once I hit the DLC for BL2. That being said, it's been over 2 years since I've touched a BL game so I might just be ready to jump back in.

Come on MS, get the Killer Instinct Combo Breaker Pack for Season 2 added to this sale.

Got Lego Batman and going to presure my mates for Diablo for coop buds.

Really tempted by Borderlands tho.


Is this weeklong sales with daily deals?

ni thought lasers were kinda cool. Even if OP. And I'm talking about the stream lasers

I wasn't a fan of the single shot beam rifles though.

My Microsoft $ account balance is set to expire on 7/7/2015. Does it mean I can use it tomorrow or does it mean I have to use it today?

Don't make the mistake I did. Luckily it was $12. If it says it expires at 7/7/2015 your $ will be gone 7/7/2015 spend them today!

Picked up MCC and Borderlands, although I already have them on disc, these are great games to own digitally.

And lol at the GTA5 sale. They pulled that same shit in the Steam sale.

Picked up MCC. I bought on release but got a refund because of the issues. I keep looking at that OTSD code in my messages... Oh well.. Re-bought.

It's all linked. I got a £25 Windows app store code last year, and it let me use the funds on the Xbox store.

Does anyone know if the limit was taken off usb flash drives for 360? I thought I remember it being upped from 16 gb to 32 gb a while back, but now it seems to be unlimited/2TB (?). Was thinking of buying a 64gb or 128gb usb, i hate splitting ny game saves between 2 usbs and a 20gb hdd. I want to buy some Games On Demand...

They added support to external harddrives up to 2TB I believe.

Just picked up Far Cry 4, but skipped the season pass. Other then the Yet DLC which seemed to get lukewarm reviews, nothing else about it interested.

My GF bought Lego Batman, so now i'm just deciding on whether or not to get Sleeping Dogs. Framerate looks a bit janky from the Digital Foundry videos.

Any firsthand comments on Sleeping Dogs?

Even though I own the combo breaker pack for season 1 I might as well buy the complete ulitimae even edition for season 2. Still hoping they throw up the S2 combo breaker pack on sale.

I just got an Xbox One and was going to get Ori this week, but it's currently 75% off on Steam so maybe I'll grab it there.

Where are people getting that this is a change every day or week deal? Pretty sure it's just been said to be for the summer, at least as far as I know. This is an awful lot of titles to be on sale if they're planning to change them daily, or even weekly.

It's Xbox One sale only?

No, 360, but no lists of what's on there yet I don't think. Or they haven't gone live.

Sleeping Dogs was my second favorite TPS sandbox game last gen, after RDR (and yes that includes GTA 5, and I am serious). I am very picky about sandboxes, tho.

Hm, I think you guys have convinced me to go for Sleeping Dogs. It's only $15 if I don't end up liking it, so it's not a major loss I guess. I feel like State of Decay will drop to lower soon so I'll wait on it.
 
Watchdogs for 15 is tempting but I feel 8 I've waiting this long might as well wait till I can get it for 2 or 3 bucks or it hits gwg or ps+

Ditto. Every time I consider buying it, I hold off, and in a few weeks its discounted even more. At this point, its GWG or PS+ inclusion seems almost inevitable.

I think I will get it too, as I want to replay it on XB1, and never did the DLC for it.
 
Other sales I found

Terraria: $8
Halo the Master chief collection: $35.99
Dragon Age Inquisition Deluxe edition: $35.00 (I don't know about standard as I already purchased one)
The legend of Korra: $7.50
Need for speed rivals Complete edition: $30 (No sales for standard)
Walking dead season one and two each: $12.50
Sleeping dogs DE: $15
Middle earth Shadow of mordor: $20 (No sales for Goty edition)
Diablo 3 Reaper of souls Ultimate Evil Edition: $30
Because of stupid prices in the UK I love how middle earth at £35 is classed as a deal lol

*edit* scrap that it's showing at 27.50 now, gold price?

I would tell anyone not to get Halo collection at 35, it's not worth it at that and will probably be on sale for cheaper in the fall plus I am sure you would be able to find a code on ebay for it from someone that bought the bundle for cheaper than 35.

Wow... Microsoft has the gall to put Ori and the Blind Forest on sale on Xbox One for 25% off, while it just went on sale on Steam for 75% off. Thanks a lot, asshats.

MCC for $35 is definitely worth it for the campaign alone.
 
Was hoping Jaws of Hakkon would be cheaper. Not sure if it's worth it at $10 or not.

It just feels like more side quest content. Pretty disappointing, IMO.

Asshats? smh...

PC version could be a mistake for all we know. 50% would have been nice for XB1 version, though.

Pretty weird tbh, you'd think they'd be consistent since they both launched at the same time.. But then again it's the first time it's been on sale of XB1 while Ori has been on sale during steams summer sale for a lower % off... Maybe we just have to wait 3 weeks to get a 75% off sale? :)

Anyways it's a good game and is worth your money imo but I know what you mean, it still sucks.

Good to know, I'll probably wait for a bigger sale later on down the line then.

With Dragon Age off the list I'm really looking at Assassin's Creed Chronicles and Goat Simulator. Will almost certainly grab AC, little bit unsure on Goat Simulator though.

It is REALLY shitty seeing Rockstar constantly mark down stupid virtual currency while keeping their game at full price and labeling it as a "25% sale". Super scummy and I wish more people could call them on that.

The sale overall isn't anywhere near as good as I had hoped. That ori discount isn't as much as I had hoped :(
