At first I thought the gold for $1 was just to get access early to the sale of you weren't a gold subscriber, but on MN Twitter it actually is 1 month for $1.


Anyway I need to rebut SO again to play the DLc so I hope that's cheap. Also wouldn't mind pure hold em poker to go on sale

Imagine if you could buy 12 or 48 x$1 codes that were stackable!!
I imagine $1 can only be used over Nov/Dec

so up to 60% off + 10 % for being a gold member and up to 15% back via XBLRewards.

Digital ain't so bad, one week out of the year I suppose.
 
Not getting my hopes up, previous Microsoft 'mega' deals and Black Friday deals have been pretty poor imo.

Would be nice to pick up ryse for cheap.

Easy.

Unlike Horizon, the presentation is extremely dull and boring.

Everything from the menus to the race tracks are so lifeless that even attempting the demo put me to sleep.

It's a waste of resources, I don't see why MS doesn't just drop it and focus on Horizon.

Don't get your hopes up with the $1 gold.

From the YT description

Hot Games. Exclusive Deals. No Lines. Xbox Live Gold members will get early access to deals of up to 40-60% off and save up to 10% more for being Gold from November 20-23. Get your first month of Gold membership for $1 through your Xbox 360 or Xbox One only November 20-30, 2015. Terms & Conditions apply.

For reference; these were last years sales:
Only ~80 games here too, so we should be getting double the games. I guess because it's the 360's anniversary and BC there'll be massive sales there.

So what you mean is you don't like sim racing games. Got you.

Holy shit, it looks like forza 6, The witcher, gears plus others will be joining my backlog that I will never finish because halo 5 is too fucking good.

It's a sim racer. You obviously don't like sim racers.

Anyways, a bunch of 360 titles for $5 or less that are BC would do me in. Also hoping for a little bit of a deal (10-15%) on Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Yeah Res Evil 4-5-6 are on sale this week for $6-$8. Very tempted, but would like to know whether they will be BC

I have around $54 saved up on my xbox account to buy either destiny or witcher 3. I hope they are cheap enough on the xbox store when they are on sale.

I hope Dragon Age Inquisition DLCs are on sale. Almost finished the game so it would be a pretty good deal.

I'm just about to start that game so I would snatch those if they were on there.

I really want Witcher 3 and Forza 6 so we'll have to see how good the discount is.
 
I think it will be limited, seems unlikely they will sell a years+ worth of live for $12

Although you can get a years XBL for around £20 atm anyway
There was a glitch back in 2012 on xbox.com that allowed you to buy a month of gold for only $1 for a long time if you went to a specific link. I used that for a long time and basically had a year for $12.

Time to finally pick up that Ori game? Wasn't there something about a definitive edition soon, or is that out yet?

Not available yet but if I'm pretty sure you'll be able to upgrade for a cheaper price if you have the base game so it shouldn't matter which version you get.

I'm sure sales will start popping up later today. Usually they go around 5-6pm.

AH yes! They said it was coming, my mistake. I it was one of the ones I had tracked 3 months ago and was always confident would come. Forget they had put it on that list with halo wars and Reach

You'll be able to upgrade Ori to the definitive edition when that releases at a reduced price. Regardless though, you should get Ori. It's a great game. Totally worth it.
 
I hope Dragon Age Inquisition DLCs are on sale. Almost finished the game so it would be a pretty good deal.

I have the base Deluxe Edition from last year. If I can get all the DLC for cheaper than what the GOTY Edition will be going for on Black Friday, I'll be very happy.

I'm hoping for Shovel Knight to go on sale (since I waited for physical and now that isn't happening on Xbox One), and for the complete Life is Strange to go on sale again (since physical now looks to be quite a bit more costly than digital).

I hope some more understated digital game releases like Beyond Eyes go on sale too.
