Cloud is only for game saves or can you save full games there?

The many reviews on Amazon make it sound like the update does not resolve the skipping issues. Which is hard to believe.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, even looking back to previous discounting trends, you only knew as much about what the discount would be as the rest of us - nothing.

I like to kick! Can I join in?

Pete is Saint Peter. If you're going to curse, at least know the origin of the phrase.

How's that? KICK!!!

That does not make any sense. The OS and the hardware specs (RAM, Video...etc) are pretty much identical. It should run the same on any machine. Not that I am doubting what you're saying. It's just plain weird.
Anyway, I have a fat Jasper console, but I'm still not going to take chance.

This is a popular game that just recently came out and only half of the DLC has been released. Saying you will wait 6 months for a cheaper price is like saying the sky is blue. That's the nature of video games. Once the newness has worn off, the price drops. I don't fault anyone for waiting for a cheaper price, but I do find it funny when people have unrealistic expectations for something they want and then compare the reality to an assumed value that will supposedly be available 6 months from now.

I agree. I was surprised BL2 was even on the sale. I just got a 360 and rebought the game to play with some friends and was thrilled that it went on sale. I admit, I was expecting 1600 points, but 1800 is still pretty good, especially when I got the points on sale. My only disappointment is that the Mechromancer did not go on sale. I got her for free on PS, but now I have to buy her on Xbox. Still well worth the money, I have played this game more than any other game in my life. Now I'm looking forward to the Skyrim content going onsale since I was not able to get it on PS.

Everyone just stop and realize it all comes down to how important the game is to YOU.

I'm in love with BL and its my favorite franchise this console gen. I dropped the full price for the season pass over a month ago and don't regret it. I was enamored with the original and has no qualms about supporting Gearbox any way I can. 1800 is a fantastic price point for the pass.

That being said, for something like Gears, Halo, or some Rockstar game I would not find the value worth it at all. And with little to no desire to play said games at the time of release, if at all, I can easily wait a few years for drops. There are people that feel the same way about my BL.

Everyone has different tastes that will determine what a particular game or content is worth to them, and how long t

Telltale hasn't even addressed the issue.

Digital version stutters like crazy as well. I'm with old model 360, but doesn't matter, since everyone gets these problems.

You're kidding in asking that, right?

It does, but significantly less jarring than the retail version. Its far more prominent on disc.

I hope people don't mind a quick off-topic question, and I don't know a better thread to post as I figure a lot of Xbox 360 gamers look here. Basically, the MicrosoftStore.com recently messed up an order of mine and to make up for it they told tomorrow I could pick any 1 currently released Xbox 360 game on their web site (supposedly no price limit) for free.

So, can anyone make some suggestions what are the best/most valuable new games? It seems they only have 96 Xbox 360 titles right now, and things like Skyrim and Battlefield 3 that were available on BF aren't available any more. Perhaps COD Black Ops II or Resident Evil 6 would be a good choice? Thanks.

If you're going based on price not going down or really slowly going down then I'd say CoD: Black Ops II if that's what you're into. It took basically a year for CoD:MW3 to get marked down this year and even then the average price people had it marked down to was basically $20 before it went back up. Plus even if you don't like it, I believe the trade in value on it will be good for awhile, especially with Best Buy doing 100% trade in next week. I Hope that helps answer in someway.

Black Ops 2 will probably hold its value the longest (although it is currently on sale at several places). COD titles are usually some of the slowest to drop. The first Black Ops is still going for $30 to $40 (new).

Also, Halo 4 will probably hold its value somewhat well. Basically anything with a popular multiplayer is going to stay higher.

I thought the Game on Demand version must be region locked. I could be wrong though.

Well that's a kick in the pants. I make it a point not to support buggy/broken products. If they intend to fix this issue you'd think they would've patched it by now. Maybe because of the MS $40K fee they're waiting to get a comprehensive list of bugs before they upload a new patch....one can hope.

I hope everyone that had a slight interest in Dust: An Elysian Tail picked it up when it was on sale. The game is damn good, and if you have an interest but missed the sale, I would still easily recommend it at full price. Well worth $15.

I regret not buying Dust and Fez while on sale a few days ago. Not sure what I was thinking.

For what it's worth, I believe this is Telltale Games' first XBOX game, so I'm willing to give them a bit of leeway. It's not on the same level as the bugs in every yearly iteration of EA Sports games; they should definitely know better.

Maybe I'm masochistic but I'm considering Backbreaker: Vengeance at 600 points. I'm always up for some quick football if it isn't the same old Madden formula. The user reviews actually look pretty good and the achievements don't look bad. Can anyone vouch one way or another for it?

Also picked up Borderlands 2 Season Pass. I love the franchise but I have to admit I was ready for it to be over by the end of the story missions. I know I'll get a craving to come back to it at some point before the DLC hits another sale so it seems like a great deal to me.

Nope. You forgot about the Sam & Max games and Wallace & Gromit. If you meant to say that this is their first XBLA game that doesn't have an "&" in the title then you'd b correct.

Edit: And there is also Jurassic Park btw.

Why not pick up NFL Blitz instead?
