Xbox Store Black Friday Sale - Starts Nov. 20th for Gold Members

Is it possible to buy multiple months of gold for $1 each? I clicked get more gold and it list 1 month for $1 still, but will it actually let me just keep buying a single month at a time?

OP, you are a scholar... of the First Sin

I'll get Beyond Good and Evil. Got it from PS+ but I'll lose access to it soon

Ive bought Borderlands for £18, i £2 credit on my account and downloaded a £15 credit from Game for £14 as i had a pound in reward points from ages ago. I had it on 360 before and really enjoyed what little i played of it. Should be good for some couch co op.
I said id never buy digital and never will while they are full price but having a few cheap digital games is really making me bone idol, i can't belive i hate changing discs now.

Wait xbox live gold is $1? Am i reading this right? How do i get Gold for a dollar? I need to prepare for my XB1!!!!!

Not Gold? Now is a great time. From today through Nov. 30, Xbox One or Xbox 360 owners can upgrade to Gold through their console for $1 for the first month of membership and unlock the early access to the deals.

So I just logged into the website using my outlook account and it's also giving me an option for 1 Free Month of Gold. I'm assuming that this is because I haven't had Gold on my account before? Not really familiar with the xbox site since I haven't gotten an Xbox One yet but really want to get in on these deals to make sure I have Halo and Forza by then.


Also I think something is wrong with the Microsoft account I'm using. I've really only used it for my PC but when I'm going to look up the games in the store it's telling me that Halo MCC is like 69.99 and Halo 5 is 75.99 for normal editions. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: For some reason I think I'm getting Canadian Pricing. I live in California so I don't know how that's possible. The website goes from en-US to en-CA right when I click a game to check it's price... I'm confused :(

So is the $25 that shows now for Horizon 2 on XB1 the "final" price or are we expecting better prices next week?

Well looks like its Mass Effect 3.99 and Beyond Good and Evil HD 2.49 for me those were 2 of my most wanted BC 360 games I wanted

Should I get forza horizon 2 now or should I wait until more deals get revealed for games like witcher 3 next weekend since I'm interested in the witcher 3 also. I have $54 saved up right now now on my xbox account,but I'm not sure if that will be enough to buy witcher 3 in Canada on the xbox store when it goes on sale. I'm also interested in halo mcc but I don't want to be burned out by playing more than halo game at a time so I may not buy that game now.

Might pickup Beyond Good and Evil and Mass Effect being as they are BC. Although it might be tough playing ME after playing it on PC previously. I should just build a gaming PC again... lol.

Add Beyond Good & Evil HD to that statement as well.

That's really odd. Maybe check the settings of your Microsoft account to see if it's assigned to the correct country.

About to drop about $30 on things I have already played & own on disc, but just want to have digital versions of for current & future BC if I ever want to 100% them. Am I stupid?

The games are cheap and $30 isn't a huge amount in the grand scheme of things...

I own multiple games digitally and on disc such as Alan Wake, Gears quadrilogy etc so I wouldn't have said so. Particularly as discs are useless with BC except for checking you own the game. You might as well get them digitally if they are cheap and want to do it.

What are you buying?

Huh, Prince of Persia 2008 is Backwards Compatible, for $5?

Don't mind if I do. Does it include the ending DLC?


Edit: Ooohh, it doesn't. That makes the full game $15. Nope, not gonna happen.

This sale is weak so far. I've seen 95% of these at this price or cheaper in the past or elsewhere, and the BC list is super weak. Hopefully the 27th delivers, I might go with just Tales from Borderlands for now.
 
Anyone in Canada having troubles buying 360 games?

I want to get Beyond Good and Evil HD, because it's playable on Xbone (I don't have a 360).

But when I try to buy it, it says I don't have a payment option. When I clicked on "add a new payment option" it redirects to the US page and I can't add it.

However, I DO have a credit card on my Microsoft account.

If I try to buy an Xbone game, the page grabs my credit card that I have saved and works fine. But for 360 games it doesn't.

HELP

Do we know how long this sale is? And there is another one on the 27th? I might grab need for speed, $35 seems really good for that and I haven't seen it any cheaper in any Black Friday ads. Also the conoli game for $6, been meaning to get that.
