Is it the definitive edition? Not that it matters much the original is one of the best games of the generation regardless.
It's the version in this sale, but yeah great game regardless, need to finally finish it. Started the original then updated to definitive but barely started, only wished your save moved from og to the new version
 
You can't actually. If you buy 360 games on Xbox One or on the Xbox website it won't use your credit, it'll charge the attached credit card. The only way to buy 360 games with MS credit is on the 360.


Oh I missed the 360 part, my bad.

Are people still playing Star Wars Battlefront? It's on sale now and I always wanted to play it.

I loaded it up for the first time in months a few days ago. I tried whatever the "any 40 man mode" option was, and then the "any 12 man mode" option, or 10, or however many people it holds in the smaller games. I seemed to be able to find a game pretty fast, for both modes. This was on the base game only, I don't have any of the DLC. (and one thing BF4 taught me was don't buy the DLC maps. I never could find games on them, but had no trouble finding games on the base maps. Doesn't matter if you like the new maps or think they're worth the money, finding games will probably be an issue.)

Daily peak numbers:

PC: 3,333 (24h peak: 4,421)
XBOXONE: 15,532 (24h peak: 16,570)
PS4: 23,917 (24h peak: 27,628)
Total: 42,782

Incomparison, peak numbers for the other BF games on XB1:
Battlefield 4: 15,659
Battlefield 1: 156,315

I keep debating on getting Skyrim and Forza. I'll probably be getting them from Best Buy though since I have $15 in reward certificates and GCU, and Skyrim is $25 there. I'm pretty much for sure getting Forza, but I get going back and forth on Skyrim. I enjoyed it about four years ago, but I'm worried The Witcher 3 will make it feel bland/underwhelming. Anyone else in the same position?

Thanks a lot for all the info. 15k seems like enough people to give it a shot.

Huge haul from this sale:

Skyrim
Hitman Season 1
Recore
Far Cry Primal
Bioshock Collection
Inside
Rainbow Six Siege
Batman Telltale

RIP
 
Ok, I think I'll bite on Doom for $20 but I'm looking at Fallout 4 too. I liked Fallout 3, how much convincing do I need to get Fallout 4? Also, Deus Ex, good deal?

Thanks for any info.

did this end up working for you and how much did it end up costing?

I clicked the game and it appeared in euros???

Yep, worked earlier today. Just go to the link mentioned earlier and make sure you're signed in, hit on Buy Code, put in any US address you want and then pay through Paypal. It came out to $22.75 CDN or thereabouts for me, and then you redeem the code it gives you on the confirmation page.

Here is the link for Recore (make sure it stays to the US store):

Guys, what are the chances of getting a refund to get the complete version of a game? Haha. I bought Watch Dogs regular version and noticed that complete was only a few dollars more, so there's no way for me to get it unless I buy the season pass.

Has anyone tried to convice tech support with something like that? I do want the game, just wish I had picked Complete instead. :p

Nice! I bought a few games myself and all I can play is Xenoverse 2. So much fun...
 
How is the combat in The Witcher 3 compared to The Witcher 2, the screenshots look amazing but don't want to buy the game and not play it because of the combat.

Is there a way to use money on your Xbox account to buy 360 games? I have $10 and when I try to buy one it only lets me use a credit/debit card.

Really tempted by Overcooked – I have 10 and 8 year old sisters, do you guys think they'd be able to pick it up fairly quickly? In the videos I've watched it looks like an *easy to pick up, difficult to master* type situation which would be ideal.

What is this i'm hearing about buying games for lower prices in different regions? Am I able to get Gears 4 for lower than the $35.99 it is right now, and it's not going to be lower on Monday right?

It's just the download codes in the US Microsoft Store being fairly cheaper for non-USers. Recore was $6 cheaper and Gears 4 was almost $12 cheaper for me than the Canada Xbox Store sale prices.

Oh, how do I access the Canadian site? It's showing it's still on sale in the US store.
