HAH OK my bad, I must have barely forgotten those other 3 games they made.

Personally, I didn't have any issues during my episode 1 playthrough on my slim 360 (250gb), so I suppose you could always try the free episode and decide before noon on Saturday. Just definitely don't plan on buying the disc version.

Uh oh. Walking Dead has issues on 360. I was really going to get it too.

Note: In the article, they say they've encountered the save problems on the XBLA version as well.

I think they've already patched it twice. They don't know why the 4gb model is having the crazy issues. There's tons of info about it on Telltale's Xbox support forum, along with a bunch of angry consumers.

Oh, and even if you buy the digital version, don't save in one slot

It's not just the 4gb model. People with the 250GB have been reporting problems as well.

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.

Simple searches for "limited" or "collector" found these worthy contenders:

Otherwise ask them if they can send you a 4000 Xbox point card, since that's an item that never depreciates.

Here's a video of a guy playing Walking Dead from disc on a 4gb Xbox:

Considering I got Episode 1 for free and the rest will be discounted tomorrow, I'm still getting them regardless. If worse comes to worst, I can wait for the inevitable patch to be released.

I have to admire your optimism.

<Reality>
There are buggy games out there that never get patched btw (Fez for example). Hence my stance on buggy games. If they don't expect a decent return on investment when it's going to cost them $40K per patch, then they'll probably leave the game broken.

Glitchiest GotY since Fallout 3? I'll see for myself tonight I guess.

I Keep hearing the PS3 version of the disc game got it worse though, while the download version of it is better over the 360. Meanwhile 360 disc version has problems, but not as bad as PS3 disc and the downloaded version has some problems over the PS3. Eitherway it seems download is the way to go.

Quick question, does anyone know what time the deal today expires? Got a friend interested in getting it, but they will not be home until late.

It's nothing like any other football game out there, even the original Backbreaker on Xbox 360. It's an XBLA version of the mobile games that are just a series of challenges based around the physics engine they've created.

My sons, ages 12 and 14, convinced me to get backbreaker vengeance a few months ago.. and we have had a blast with it. They still ask to play it regularly. Its alot of fun with splitscreen multiplayer

I'm definitely considering it as well. The reviews were OK, and almost all of them made a point to critique the price. Since it's now half price, I think that would bump up the overall score of the reviews a little bit. Still, it should have released at 800 and be 400 right now, but I'm not gonna squabble about 200 MSP when it comes to a game that hasn't been on sale in a year and a half since release. If I enjoy the demo as much as I did when it first released, I'll be picking it up.

Around the time the new deals appear is when they basically go down it seems. So basically like 4:30PM PST. So if they want Borderlands 2 season pass they got around 26 hours or so as of the time of me posting this before the deal is gone.

Awesome, thanks a bunch! That is indeed what they were planning on grabbing.

I Based it on the times posted off of this http://xbldb.com/offer-history/price...rice-decreases So it should be right, or close to right. Though if they pick it up tonight then there shouldn't be a problem.

I might as well mention, I did the math & if you download all 5 episodes of The Walking Dead, it'll take up 2,921.51MB, or 2.85GB of your HDD. I'm aware of the issues the disc version has, but I figure it's worth bringing up if you're short on space at the moment (especially with the sale tomorrow) &/or were thinking of getting the disc version.

For what it's worth the problems with the digital release of TWD are nowhere near as awful as the retail disk. The disk version is honestly abysmal.

Not saying it's bad or anything, but it's not really what I'd recommend as an alternative to Madden since it's not a football game. It's fun for what it is though.
