I must have missed the 360 games. Link?

I always go to Storeparser to see the 360 price changes. Just click through the first 5 pages.

https://www.storeparser.com/en-US/xbox-360/price-changes/

And I'm proud to report that I finally got that one time Hot Deal offer for 30% off of a Microsoft gift card on Microsoft Rewards. It showed up this morning, so I was able to cash out 7000 points for a $10 card.

It's a Thursday before Black Friday miracle! :)

That is not a one time offer. I ended up with $40 from it. So make sure to go back and use it some more.

Will do, sir! I do my Bing searches religiously, so I will be able to get another $10 very soon.

Pro-tip: just keeping clicking the news feed items on Bing until your hand goes numb to get your daily allotment of points. You won't be able to play any video games, but let's face it - we spend more time posting about them than anything else.

Just be aware the credit will expire in about 90 days I believe, so if you don't like what you see in the BF sale, make sure you find something in the Xmas/New Year sale!

New Hot Deal - MS gift cards 30% off. GO GO GO!

Just cashed out $45 in points.
Click to expand...
Thanks! I cashed out $60, which buys me a whole year of gamepass! Pretty sure I earned most of those points just last month, and it only took constantly thinking about it with all my available time and energy. I had to call things off with my fiance, because she got in the way of my Bing time. I still have my job, until they discover I've installed scripts on all the computers to siphon Bing searches to my wallet! Now if I could only figure out more ways to Bing while I Bing so I can stack this Bing all night and be able to get this bread first thing in the morning...

I used to just spam the Bing news feed for points when I first signed up for rewards. Now I actually just click them to find out what's going on in the news and use Bing like I normally would. Points are just a bonus now.
 
Hot damn I was on top for following thru with rewards and actually had enough for $15. Sure wish I would have stayed at it.

I also had a 50 percent off a five dollar card offer, FYI, so look for that, as well.

Thanks Bloomy!

Wait so you guys still have access to the game? Everything except prologue is gone on my xbox.
Click to expand...
It’s a pain but if you go to the Legacy pack you should be able to individually download all of the H1 season content. I had to do that because it didn’t install correctly but I have access to all of it now within the H2 framework.
 
I'm caught in between things being too high in price to tempt me (no fun in that) and other things being so good of a price I'm very tempted to buy them despite already owning them on the ps4 and knowing some of this shit is def gonna be gwg someday

and I'll have to kick my own ass for the 3 millionth time

first world problems

 
How does buy as a gift on Xbox actually work?  If I put in my own email address, would it send me a digital code that I could later give to someone else?  Or would it just lock the game to my gamertag?

It used to be a code, but is now a direct deposit into your account with a 90 day expiration

It sends a code to the email you provide. I generally send it to the same email that I bought it with since it's easier to go back and forth between browser and email than to sign in and out to redeem on my brother's acct.

Ignore the post above me, he's talking about bing rewards.

Elsewhere in the thread this is discussed more in depth, but I believe last month's hot deal was only around for a few days before it was pulled.

you don't need to rush

but be careful these things have a way of disappearing very quickly. I've seen them poof in a few days and no hot deals the rest of the month

with that being said it's the holiday season and I wouldn't be surprised if we see more pop up but if you want credit imo being a long time follower of the program bite now if you intend to eat

Probably not but the reward page carries the caveat of “while supplies last”. Plus the Hot Deal last month went missing for a few weeks before randomly coming back last week.

Edit:
Now you see how paranoid MS Rewards has made us all.

My haul 

Spent $54 on a $60 gift card at new egg. Turned that into Bastion, Red Faction Remarstered, Mad Max, Gears 4, Qube 2 with $15 remaining.

Redeemed my points for the hot deal worth $20 of xbox credit and turned that into Sword Art Online Fatal bullet 

 
Cashed out $60 in points for now.

Not much grabbing my attention in this sale and there’s plenty in the backlog and Gamepass. May just wait it out and preorder Anthem when it gets closer to launch.

Edit: Don’t forget about the upcoming Winter of Arcade!

these hot deals are you snooze you lose, despite what science says there isn't an infinite amount of them digitally for whatever reason

edit: of course should of refreshed

I was actually hoping for a year of live for 21k since I could sell those for $40 but I still spent my points anyway, last few months were the first time I actually did my searches every day instead of just doing the set of 3.

Sad to see my account drained after dedicating my life to bing searches and neglecting my kids and marriage but I still haven’t did the gamepass punchcard so I have a new thing to dedicate my life to.

I got $55 but hoping to get another $20 before the 15th of next month if they decide to restock by then.

When you redeem a year of live via Bing Rewards, does it send you a code or does it apply directly to your account?

I refused to get married and got 2 vasectomies (just in case) just so I had more time for bing rewards

totally worth 50ish bucks of savings every now and again

 
Just saw the new trailer for the live action Dumbo.

Quick view of the pink elephant sequence, which should be good coming from Tim Burton.

Didn't catch any sign of the crows.

Thank you! I decided to just cash out the points on my alt email for $30 in M$ bucks. Then I can use that to 'gift' myself something that's on sale. Probably going to use the $10 on my main account for Quantum Break (glad I waited)

Currently trying to convince my younger brother to upgrade to an Xbox One S so we can play games together. We've played through just about everything else he has on his old 360

 
SInce people are mentioning Bing points, and if it is alright to ask here, is there any drawback to linking two accounts as part of the family thing? I was considering it recently but I keep thinking there has to be a catch of some sort that I'm missing. They are both legit accounts, but the other family member doesn't really use or cash out the points. Bugs me they go to waste.
