Its a mistake. The XBLA classic version is BC not the 2008 retail game. There are multiple people PO'd, check the major nelson comments

Phew, dodged a bullet. Thanks for the warning.

I don't understand why they didn't double down on putting BC games on sale. It's the perfect opportunity. Like, throw Shadow Complex a bone.

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?

If we want to count Steam & PSN... I'm a horrible offender of double and triple dipping :)

Looks like I may be grabbing Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Fallout New Vegas, Mass Effect, Prince of Persia, and Borderlands

Of those I haven't played PoP & haven't finished New Vegas (although being ass-deep in FO4 is making me want to go back to it afterwards). Everything else beaten, just not 100%ed

FOR THOSE OF YOU TAKING UP THE $1 LIVE DEAL.

The subscription is set to auto renew so be sure to go to Xbox.com to turn that off or you'll be charged automatically for the following months at full price until you do.

Should add this to the OP.

I really hope Rare Replay goes on sale.

Not that $30 is a lot but I feel pretty guilty buying so many games this holiday

Will go on sale next weekend, as it's a recent game I wouldn't expect a huge discount though. If I was to guess I would say it'll be about $20.

Thanks

I have a question for anyone, if I buy one of these games it only says download to 360 which I dont have, will it also download to my xbox one?

Where do I find these games on my xbox one once I buy them?

In your ready to install list at the far right hand side of your my games section.

How's the framerate on the Handsome Collection these days?

Was it well and truly fixed like the PS4 one supposedly was? The last DF analysis is from version 1.02, I imagine it has been further improved since then.


Edit: Wooow, the difference is HUGE:

Ok, in at $24. I have my 360 save from Borderlands 2, so it will be fun to play through all the extra content of that, and then move on to the Pre-Sequel :)

Frame rate is great on the Handsome Collection to my naked eye. Highly recommend it, and all of the tearing issues with TPS are gone.

Thanks but can you still not buy 360 games through the xbox one?

I have xbox credit and if I buy from the webpage its charging to my credit card, but when I buy through the xbox one I know it uses my xbox credit.

You can't, unfortunately. Hopefully, MS lets us purchase 360 games from the XB1 soon, or at least lets us use our Xbox bucks on the website.

man no offense but update the OP or stop making such thread from next time if you think you won't be able to keep up. Sorry but when I have limited time to browse, I just look at the OP. Now I have to go through the comments or other site to find out what's on sale.
Click to expand...

Uh how about saying "thanks for making the OP so I at least know stuff is on sale"?

The VIP pass is a car pack as well.
Click to expand...

I guess. 5 cars is not exactly meaty stuff, and has a per-car price that's 8 times higher than the Car Pass itself. The major part of the pack is clearly the microtransaction.

This discussion has the potential to veer massively off-topic, though, so it's probably best to stop it here?

Doffen said:
The VIP pass is included in the Deluxe and Ultimate edition of Forza Horizon 2. Both of them are currently on sale.
Click to expand...

Which is at least $10 more than the standard edition, to double your payoffs. I think the point is that there could be a discount on storm island that doesn't require purchasing a casino-style multiplier.

I'm not saying is worth dropping $20 on atm, but as Doffen mentioned, it's included in two of the three editions on sale.

The VIP car pack itself is pretty great, and then you also get access to the gift cars and and liveries as well as the VIP events, which admittedly has diminished value this late in the game.

Not yet, but I believe Bioshock 1 was in the original slide, so at least that one should be coming?
