Hmm, nothing next week makes it all the more tempting to get Ass Odyssey Gold now, but then again...I Don't have much XBox free fun money and this 20% off on fun money still seems not enough of a discount for my cheap, cheap lifestyle. Choices are hard.

 
Oh man I buried the lede on that first pass of Bloomy's spoiler, there is a game that might have the name Shadow and another part of the name might have Tactics in it that has never got a Xbox sale price, but been heavily discounted on PS4, I'm down for that one

I gave up waiting for a sale on that one & bought it used at GameStop last week. Of course, it’s a day outside of the return period. So you’re welcome for my sacrifice.
 
Next week Lollipop Chainsaw goes BC.....my ridiculous prediction based entirely on my personal wants.
This would be great. Have always wanted to play this, but never got around to it on the 360 and have no desire to turn my 360 on.

I keep seeing Rico has a release date of the 12th but can not find anything on Xbox for a release or preorder. Hoping it's still coming out as the first i seen anything about it was someone in this thread posting about it a little while back

Welcome to the purchase decisions with Ubisoft and Season Passes, more than a pattern now. I mean look at poor crack butthole
What is odd and annoying is that the Y2 Gold Edition and the Y2 Pass are both on sale individually, as is the Ultimate Edition.

...

And now I'm looking again, and the Season Pass IS on sale and the Gold Edition is delisted. Now I'm pretty sure I'm losing my marbles.

 
After signing up for EA Access to get my 6000 points. I booted up Apex Legends, received 1000 credit for being a EA Acess member. Enough for a character or 10 loot boxes.
Thanks the heads up. I was able to nab this before canceling my EA trial. You also get a weapon skin and a banner. I started loading up other EA games just in case and found 25 battle crates in Battlefield 1 that I'm not sure where they came from and 60,000 credits in Star Wars Battlefront 2. Not sure if those are from having EA Access or something else.

But in loading my other games, now I'm wondering... Is Apex Legends connected to Mass Effect's Apex?

If you're ever wandering around Walmart and don't mind it on disc might want to see if they have it on clearance. Got it a couple months ago for around 10 bucks.

Ha where I'm living right now is the most Wal-mart of all Wal-marts, the big score in the clearance section, and it has been this way going on 3 years now is the Tabula Rasa Collectors edition for $39. One day we will get sub $200 Arcade 1up cabinets.

I know the feeling, but that price is a nationwide price not the usual YMMV walmart clearance pricing.

Which one, the Arcade 1up cabinets or the 3 year old abandoned MMO game for $40

edit: 5 year old, maybe more?

Pretty interesting reading the PSN thread where people are bitching about PS+ games being cut down to 2 from as many as 6. Talking about how MS is kicking ass from a value and customer engagement perspective these days with BC, GP, cross play and all the other little things being done. I concur.
One thing nagging at the back of my mind is the thought that the loss of competition will eventually cycle over to Games with Gold. MS has been extremely pro consumer this generation, but we have to keep in mind that GWG only ever was added to Xbox Gold around the time Sony announced PS4 would require PS+, which already existed as a premium game subscription for a few years prior.

I don't think it will happen in this generation, but I could see them eventually phasing out previous gen games eventually. We've already seen the experimentation start with the Xbox Original games occasionally taking up a slot, which probably are cheaper to get the rights to if only because they are cheaper than the average $20 360 game.

It took 7 months after the launch of Xbox One for the system to be added to the GWG program. Maybe we'll see a similar timeline for them to drop 360 and start Xbox Two. I hope not, and if the new system is one hundred percent backwards compatible with what we have now the I could see it lasting. One final thought would be a compromise to cut costs on the program, switching to only games Microsoft has full rights to and eventually just cycling through them since there are only so many.

If anything it's related to the Apex Predators mercenaries in Titanfall 2.

One day we will get sub $200 Arcade 1up cabinets.
I get the feeling those things are going to plummet eventually. They take up a LOT of space compared to other stuff in video game sections, and I have to assume they are barely moving now that Christmas as over.

Personally I wouldn't recommend buying one of those machines unless you plan on modding it. They used just about the cheapest components in existence across the board for every piece of them. The controls feel like shit on every one I've tried, junk buttons/sticks/trackball. Mono sound on all cabinets even though the Street Fighter ROMs are set up for stereo, meaning you can't hear all of the sound effect. The cabinet is extremely short so you either need a riser, a permanent stool, or to be the size of a 10 year old. It's really not wide enough for two players to be comfortable either.

I work with arcade cabinets pretty regularly so I'm even more picky than I would otherwise be, but even before this job I knew the feel of decent parts from being into fighting games. I think it always would have been a hard pass from me.

mine was doing that also. I also lost my points streak yesterday even though I did my searches. Bummer.
 
Happy to report that I got my anthem points despite doing it backwards, anthem download then punchcard. Microsoft is so much more consumer friendly ala Apple than those assholes at Sony (see previous posts).
 
Been a while since I bought anything.  I grabbed AC Odyssey Gold and traded my physical copy to Best Buy.  I played it a bit a few months ago but haven't gone back to it.  Hopefully soon.

I’m out to take the plunge to but it will firmly settle in my backlog while I play AC: Origins now!!!
 
Can't remember the last time I played an Ass Creed game, but obviously had to get Odyssey Gold because of how much you all are talking up the deal. This forum is a blessing and a curse sometimes. lol

Just want the cabinet art Six min, but I appreciate the passion you put into every post
Fair enough, they do look nice at least. I'd hang onto the receipt as I know there were some QA issues at launch with art having been damaged or something in transit. It did sound like the manufacturer was taking care of people and sending out replacement parts as needed for free, but that was with YouTubers with audiences so I'm not sure how they were treating average customers.

 
FYI the $10 Hot Deals gift cards are sold out now on MS Rewards, the $5 are still there so not a big deal, but if you were on the fence on cashing in headsup

 
Looks like Koei Tecmo is coming out swinging with Dead or Alive 6 DLC. The first season pass that includes TWO characters and SIXTY TWO costumes is $93. This only lasts 4 months, and on Steam it even has this little gem "Downloadable content not included in the list above may be released during the same period, but it will not be covered by this Season Pass 1." Finally, they couldn't even throw in the pre-order character Nyotengu, she is still $4 separately.

Really if they're going to milk the hardcore waifu guys this badly and blatantly they shouldn't even bother with making costume heavy season passes. It just looks even worse to a lot of people that already have a lot of ammunition for trashing the series, and they don't seem to have a season pass that is just the actual additional characters.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/dead-or-alive-6-season-pass-1/c0mn5tts0515

Edit: Looking a bit further into this. The season pass also doesn't include the (much better in my opinion) Deluxe Costume Set, which you can only get from the $80 Deluxe Version of the game. There are another 25 costumes in that one, as well as currently exclusive character "Phase 4".

They're continuing the same convoluted dlc strategy that kept me at arms length from DOA5. I was faithful to the series since my introduction to it on xbox in 2001 but DOA5 was too much of an in-your-face cash grab.

My issue is there are so many other better fighters out now. DOA's fighting has never done much for me and I don't see much new aside from breaking blows, so that means they have to appeal almost entirely with the characters (and boobs) and that is just not worth $60 for me. It looks like they're doing the F2P model again so I will at least dip my toes in, but I'm not the type that will be buying just one or two total characters for a game over getting the full roster.

I greatly prefer the character customization of Soul Calibur or even the more limited options Tekken has, over the $4+ each the costumes are in DOA, even if designed costumes are going to be much more detailed than anything we can make. At least with SFV there are many costumes that are unique or Capcom throwbacks on top of the occasional cheesecake swimsuits. With DOA we already know we can expect cheesecake after cheesecake since they're immediately starting with wedding dress.

 
To be fair there was the free version of 5 with all the achievements and I do like their stage design and interactions more than about every other game until Injustice 2. But yeah their DLC model is pretty hardcore.
