  • You cannot currently buy any Xbox 360 content on xbox.com using your account balance, you can only use an active credit card or PayPal. To use your balance, you must make purchases on your console.  Unfortunately, even "purchasing" free content through the web site like trials requires an alternative method of payment tied to your account, though adding an empty MasterCard / Visa gift card that is registered for online purchases will work.  Xbox One games can be purchased on the web site with your account balance, but DLC cannot.
  • Some sales are intended for Gold subscribers only, as noted within each section.  This requires being a paid subscriber or within a console-activated "1 month complimentary Gold trial" account.  Neither 48 hour trials, 14 day trials nor free weekends qualify.
  • All known sales and information on sales should make their way into the OP. Major Nelson usually updates his blog with new sales information every other Tuesday.

2.5 and blocks a lot of the cooling.
Click to expand...
2.5 is not too big of an issue, but, yes, 3.5 would be better. 2.5 inch drives have steadily been coming down in price. I have my 500GB hard drive from my PS4 that I might stick in there since I don't need a huge amount of storage. Also, it does have some cooling vents built into it. I don't know how much of an impact it would really be, but the Xbox One itself seems to have an abundance of vents.

 
3.5" drives are usually cheaper than 2.5" drives.  I have this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station/dp/B0099TX7O4 and http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-blue-1tb-internal-sata-hard-drive-for-desktops-oem-bare-drive-blue/6331502.p?id=1219470783344 working well on mine.   I'm wondering if a dual bay docking station would work as well?  I figured I'd rather go with the docking station solution because they always come in handy later for stuff like pc backups

 
I received a message from Xbox this afternoon telling me I am among the lucky Xbox Gold members to receive a free copy of Joy Ride Turbo for Xbox 360, did anyone else get that message?

Nope. What did you do to deserve such cruel punishment?
 
Was there an announcement about this gold price stuff? I mean the additional discount given for gold members on already discounted stuff? ôo

From a tweet:

Lords of the Fallen is not part of the Ultimate Game Sale on @Xbox. That's all we can say at this moment.
Click to expand...
That's pretty messed up.

 
Anybody have any idea if the Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition DLC will be on a card? Would purchase the base game digitally and the DLC off eBay if it did. I'm sure people would be listing it.
 
The strange thing was that both the Dev and publishers were tweeting about the game on sale, and then seemed to be left in the dark for a long period of time as to why it was taken down, and then hours and hours later both posted that it was "not" a part of the sale, while hinting it may be up this weekend. Still, the people who have listed supposed leaks of this weekend's sale, don't have LotF either. Even stranger was that someone said that this picture showed up advertising the sale days before it was official:

So it's an unfortunate series of events really, least you jumped on the sale right away.

Here's my guess: The publisher probably made a deal with MS to be on GWG, so they took it out.
Click to expand...
More like the publisher and MS were in negotiation on what the price point for the sale was and someone jumped the gun and set it at $9. MS took it out and now they'd talk some more and may be come back with the sale - at say, $14 or heck even $9 again.

Bunch of things wrong with what you said due to misinformation.

(1) It was the developer that was talking about the sale, not the publisher. Huge difference.

(2) The sale image was not advertised at all. The Australian page was leaked and as of yesterday LotF was on sale in Australia.

(3) Neither the developer, nor Microsoft people hinted that LofF would be on sale as one of the Wicked Weekend offers. It was just speculation from redditors and other gamers.

My take is that the publisher screwed up somehow and a bunch of miscommunication took place.

Here's my guess: The publisher probably made a deal with MS to be on GWG, so they took it out.

maybe but knowing MS wouldn't they just take the 9 bucks now and sell copies? You would be getting the game a month or two or three earlier if they are planing it to be Games with gold. You would have some upset buyers but idk there's always people complaining they just purchased a game before it gets announced/released but this number would be alot larger lol

Would be a great games with gold game.

I was coming here to joke that the people who got it for $9 are going to be pissed when it shows up as part of March's GwG.

Sorry if I caused any problems at all, and am fine dropping it after this and seeing what happens this weekend, but as I have been following a few threads, various twitter feeds, sites and reddit.

I didn't want to seem misinformed or wrong and didn't want to misquote anyone. The people behind the game: CI Games & Deck13 Interactive, both were on twitter retweeting to people initially that the game was on sale when they were alerted by people as such. They seemed happy and were suggesting to people to buy. Both seemed confused when the game was taken off the sale. Deck13 was the main voice stating they weren't sure what was going on and it wasn't up to them but they hoped it would be back up. CI Games didn't say anything at all until both twitter feeds posted saying g the game wasn't part of the sale. Deck13 continue ued to mention the face with a ";)" egging people on or hinting, no one knows. Several people on twitter and Reddit said they "supposedly" were informed by Xbox support that the game would arrive with the weekend sale, but nothing offered up. A couple people posted the picture I linked to saying the game was advertised or leaked to be on sale ahead of time, other people posted pictures from their dashboard of when it "was" on sale and depicted under the ultimate games sale.

That's all I was stating. Deck13 hinted a couple times that they thought it may be up with the weekend sales, and I stated that no site had it as such in their leaks. I am not sure how what I said was wrong. It seems at most that they put a game on sale that wasn't meant to be on sale. Microsoft stating that it was an accident, if it was, would clear a lot up, but they aren't obligated to do so, so probably won't.
 
After 24 of hours of the DOA 5 Last round demo on Xbox One, I don't think I'm gonna pull the trigger. The graphical upgrades aren't huge enough IMO from the 360 version to justify 40 dollars. I'll probably just buy the New fighters pack that adds all the new last round fighters to the 360 version for 14.99

Really? This is what we're currently working hard on MS? How about playing music in the background (like my 360 does), sending voice messages (like my 360 does) easier to find messages/notifications/party invites (like my 360 does)? Aren't any of those things a priority over tile transparency?

Ugh...

They should have never took those stuff out to begin with. I miss all the rage voice messages and trash talking. Not fun when you have to type it. The music in the background has to come back too, that was a neat feature.

Xbox Support gave me 1 Month Gold for free since my expired 400 MS Point Code didn't work...today was a good day (also the code was inside a new copy for GoW:Judgment which I got for 4,99, if I return or resell the game for the same price, still profit)

 
Almost puked after playing a 60fps first person shooter game for the first time in a while.

I'd take a week without an outage over any other "feature".

Judgment came with a 400 point code? I didn't get one with mine. Did it have the code for the Gears of War digital copy?

 
Question. Is that telltale bundle a good deal if I already have season two of the walking dead, and played season one already ???
