Don't pass it up for a mere $5, dude. You can't even buy a McDonald's combo with $5 anymore and you're getting an awesome game with the same amount of money. It doesn't have the twist or sense of wonder of Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite, but it's a solid entry to the series.

If any portion of your purchase is paid with money from your account, even just one cent, it's automatically tax free. A good trick to remember for the future is to buy a $5 code on Amazon.com any time you make a purchase. You get it instantly and by using it you'll save yourself from paying the tax.

So has it been pretty much the same two Xbox One deals the whole time? I already own Titanfall, and Ghosts (which I do own) is just too awful for me to justify a season pass.

All of my purchases have been made with credit. It seems like every other purchase is taxed:

Mass Effect 3 Citadal - Not Taxed

To be fair, a lot of Halo 3 playlists started requiring DLC relatively early on.
Yeah, I super can't figure out the pricing on this DLC.
Like 15 dollars each or 20 for both with a multiplayer map pack...
Uhh... why did you even list them indivudally if you didn't want to sell them?

Wow, that's really weird. I've always had my card purchases taxed. And I don't see any sort of pattern there either. Huh.

Anyone wants easy GS? Get Gears 3, haha. I just did a new profile to start over and I'm racking exp like crazy, lol. It's gonna take less time to get to Lv.261 or whatever the green number was on my old profile.
Did they do something? I stopped play awhile ago..is it crazy XP or what?
See You Next Wednesday

Does this sale end at midnight or does it lasts until the morning?
Typically 5am east / 2am west (US)
But sometimes they last a little longer.

Edit: I have the account setup and can connect to VPN, didn't get time to test with my Xbox just yet.

XBL sales have gotten better, but theres always a head-scratcher thrown in seemingly just to catch a few suckers and/or maybe to simply fuck with peoples minds. Lol

Anyone else played Fight Night Champion? I played FN3 and liked it...have a FN4 physical copy I havent touched yet.
I figure the SP story mode has gotta be worth $5...but this is EA, after all. Does this game have micro-transactions or a bunch of the boxers locked as paid DLC...?

I might have to pick this up for $5...the trailer doesnt do much for me...but I'm going to check out the demo real quick...
That may bring me back. I have a lot of points left in that game. But fuck some of the achievements they put in there. And I still have some Judgment 'ments to get too.

Wolfenstein: The New Order on Xbox One will be $40 this weekend.
Quake Arena, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Doom 2 on Xbox 360 will all be 50% off this weekend.

Woo hoo! Was very tempted to pick it up off amazon this past weekend when it was $40 but I prefer digital so this is an insta buy for me.
I think I'll get Doom to finally get through it all.

It's an excellent port, aside from the button mapping. There are no hotkeys for switching weapons, just a next and a previous button, and they don't even buffer your inputs (so you can't, for example, tap next twice quickly to skip an intervening weapon, you have to cycle through each of them). Meanwhile half the buttons on the huge brick of buttons you're holding in your hands go completely unused. They sort of fixed this in the Doom II port, by mapping a couple weapons to each of the four cardinal points on the D-pad, but it's still not ideal.

I actually found it worked pretty good with the gamepad as well.
I bought it for like $15 years ago. The thing went on sale often.So mad I didn't get gow3 season pass,
Would've been nice, though. Want the population brought up a lot
already have all but quake. doom 1+2 still hold up to this day.
I'm interested in getting Doom 1&2 because it's been forever since i played them, and then remembered I have the Collectors Edition of Doom 3 for the OG Xbox... dug it out, and it includes Ultimate Doom and Doom 2.
Is there a substantial difference between that and the one that'll be going on sale, is it worth rebuying those?

Wolfenstein's price has now switched over to $39.99.
will buy , yes
Wolftenstein is definitely amazing. I've had more fun with Watch Dogs and Titanfall though. I'd give my GOTY to Watch Dogs so far.
Best thing about Wolfenstein is it's an FPS released in 2014 with these qualities:
a) Does not have a tacked-on multiplayer, and
b) The game lightens the mood with some very surprising, lengthy exploration segments in between the action-heavy chapters. It felt like I was playing some RPG. It reminded me of Half Life 2. It was all bang bang bang, shooting, killing, stranglin' Nazis, and then some quiet, calm alone time at mother base, and then some more action, and so on.
