Bought some games, but the 360 takes forever to load almost regret buying a new game because half my day is spent twiddling my thumbs.  Is there a way to speed my slow Xbox up.  Probably delete half my games? 

 
Anyone have a wish list for tomorrow?

I'm hoping for the State of Decay DLC to go on sale, and maybe a season pass deal on The Wolf Among Us.

On the slight to zero chance side of things, hoping for a surprise deal or two on Xbox One content, but not getting my hopes up.
 
[quote name="Indignate" post="11380014" timestamp="1387851728"]If you have Civ on the PC and are into it, playing Revolution just makes you want to play those instead. At least that's how it was for me. Revolution makes everything far too simplistic.[/quote]

Up to Civ 4. Civ 5 on PC is more simplistic than Revolutions. Still a good game, as all of them are, but dumbed down from prior versions.
 
Amazing deals, and definitely plan to buy a lot! Glad to see TMNT: OoS went on sale. I planned on buying it for my little brother but 50% makes it a lot easier now! Can't wait to try out Wolf Among Us

 
Why I won't buy Deadlight, even for $3.74:

http://www.destructoid.com/review-deadlight-232053.phtml

Play the demo and you'll get more enjoyment out of it than the full game offers.
I liked deadlight - I'd recommend it for $3.74 -- not a perfect game for sure but it is a fun fairly short game (and pretty easy to 100% achievements on) - has potential and I'd buy a sequel if they fixed the issues (highlighted in the destructoid review)

 
Same here. Personally, I didn't think the game ever slowed down and enjoyed it from start to the end.

El Shaddai is a weak action adventure game.  It felt very dated playing it last year and I put a about 6 hours into it and moved on.  Cleared the space on my harddrive even.  The combat is pretty simple (though it has an interesting idea about having to cleanse your weapon) and the story was ok.  Try the demo.  

Happy to see further price drops as I was going to pass over moon diver again...but now it's cheap enough.

 
Nice catch polerand. I don't think ill go for either though (creed games get under 20 bucks sooooo fast).

Does anyone have an opinion on gotham city imposters? I like batman, shooters, and goofiness but the fact that it went f2p on pc so fast worries me that online is dead.
 
Might just get Eternal Sonata and I never buy GoD.
That price is really cheap for it. A more complete version came out for PS3 but it didn't add much of importance. Just another character and some more story. The game is beautiful and starts out interesting. At the end of the game it's story turns into something similar to an anime story ending where nothing makes sense and the authors want to pretend like they're saying something important but really it's nothing new and saying it via a convoluted story doesn't make it any better. That's eternal sonata's sending - an egotistical wankfest. Then they expect you to play the game a second time to get the "real" ending. One time through is plenty, especially when thinking of some of those dungeons that are mazes.
 
It's time they put up some really good deals like ME DLC, BF DLC, halo DLC, zombie games DLC (l4d, dead space)
All these deals are bad if you're not into racing, fighting, or sports games
 
If anyone is wondering, Bully is totally worth $3.74.  Debating buying it even though I already beat it because I sold the disc a while ago since it is hard to find.

 
Deadlight was great, bought it at full price and don't regret it.

It is short and a very easy 400/400, but again, I thought it was great.

Yup, I said the same thing then I found out there's a completely different sale as well which includes brothers. They really should have organized this sale into less categories.
 
Picked up Deadlight, PvZ, Moon Diver (already have on PS3, but cheap double-dip), and NFL Blitz (for brother vs). Also bit on Web of Shadows since I've heard it's the best Spider-Man game (my current fav is Spider-Man 2).

Everyone should get Peggle + Nights for $.99 ea. It may seem dumb at first, but play for a while and you will be hooked.

Will continue to wait for $3.74 DuckTales.

Deadlight is a lot of wasted opportunity after that first act, but it's not a horrible game. I think I paid $7.50 for it, and I had fun with it at that price.

 
I thought that MSP cards avoided tax, and the new cards did not. Am I mistaken?

I used the last of my MSP credit last night and partially paid for a game with PayPal...and was charged tax.

The trade forum, eBay, CGT, etc. They're all dry as far as MSP go.

But if what you guys are saying is true, I can get a "new" card at Target, with 5% off, no tax at checkout and no tax when buying a game?

 
Never did use the pin system but that's a good idea for tracking.

Not complaining but it's the weekly sales that everyone is talking about and the actual daily sale of popcap games still is a miss? Unless you really love Peggle and PvsZ.
I will say miss. These are all good daily deals but it just so happens I own them all. The weekly one has stuff I (and apparently others) don't own hence the enthusiasm.

For this reason, I'm going to hold off on Charlie Murder and the rest of this week's deals until I see what the rest of the daily deals are and spend accordingly.

Only MSP added to account balances before the global currency conversion (late August) date are tax-exempt (if applicable in your state/region) during checkout.

Do any stores not charge tax on currency cards? Also, when was the last time xbox mp points or currency was on sale anywhere? Seems like those never go on sale.

I've used 2 MSP cards from Best Buy since then, from the $5 and $10 credits they gave me, no tax on either end. Xbox Live Rewards credit also redeemed tax-free for me.

 
Zuma's Revenge only has 3.5 stars on XBLA. Anyone have an opinion on that? Not "is it worth 99 cents", but is it worth playing at all. I don't play crappy games just because they are cheap. :)

Also it still sucks so bad that you can't use your credit balance on the web site. When the F are they going to fix that?

Also, does anyone know if Midnight Club is the Complete Edition?
That i would like to know as well. I remember someone said so last time it went on sale but nothing seems to back it up reading the marketplace info. Also the south central pack is sold separately (and costs 4 times more than the main game :p)

 
I haven't been charged tax yet on any of my purchases using currency cards, either. I'm in Pennsylvania.
Any idea why MS and Nintendo charge tax but Sony doesn't?

Although I did find a work around for Nintendo, at least for me. When I made my first WiiU eShop purchase the other day and it asked me for my zip code it game me two possible locations. One was in MD and the other in PA. LOL. I live right on the line. When I chose the PA one it was trying to charge me tax. I went back and picked the MD one and no tax. Wtf?

If you buy the download (code) instead of the physical card you won't be charged tax.

Yes the GoD version is the complete version, with the DLC

Big fan of Zuma and this was worth the $10 I paid for it.
