[quote name='oasisboy']For those who bought rayman Origins for 800 points, how did you do that? When it was on sale it only gave me the option to pay with a credit card and not with points. I didn't buy it because I have plenty of points and didn't want to pay with a card.[/QUOTE]

There's an option to switch payment to microsoft points. x or y button on 360.

does anyone know if for Borderlands 2 DLC will only the season pass be on sale or will the 2 individual DLC packs also be discounted. Just wondering since I got the Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage DLC when it was for free so not sure if buying the season pass is worth it anymore
 
[quote name='sixspeednissan']I kind of regret not buying Rayman origins the other day. Tomorrow is supposed to be Kinect games day, so did you see some rumors somewhere or something?[/QUOTE]

I saw it on the xbox dashboard. don't remember the exact wording but one of the days was labeled "missed deals"

You should leave this forum if you're going to act like a 12 year old.

And you should be sure to pick up your "Microsoft Points points."

No, he's right. There's a whole world of other words you could use to describe your feelings towards a game. Not all of us can share your simplified opinion if we don't agree that a game's sexuality is not of standard practice. Is it not a good game then?
 
[quote name='OregonFirefighter']I'll have to pick up some MSP points. Walking Dead is gay. Even for free. How the hell did this win GOTY at the VGAs?[/QUOTE]
You pay attention to the VGA's and you use the word gay as a way to describe something you dislike. You are the type of douche bag shows like that try and appeal to.

He's also the type that thinks saying someone has down syndrome is hilarious. So you know what you're dealing with here.

Well, in simple terms, it's disappointing. Sorry it's not easy for everyone to comprehend.

Shit, i feel dumb for not seeing this option. Hopefully rayman will return at the discounted price.

On the dashboard it lists all the previous days deals, and labels them "Deals You Missed". Is this what you're seeing? I don't see anything on the dashboard about those deals actually being resurrected, and I really don't think it will happen.

Oh man. really? That sucks. I thought it was a "previous deals" thing. That's just xbox going "neener neener!" :lol:

my bad.
 
[quote name='Finch106']Also, what is the sale price of the episodes?[/QUOTE]

The other episodes aren't on sale till Friday. The post is just saying that the first episode is now free
 
[quote name='confoosious'] That's just xbox going "neener neener!" :lol:[/QUOTE]

That's exactly what I thought too. Like, "Haha, you missed this deal".

But I'm sure there are some people out there who will see a game they missed that they wanted, then say "fuck It" and just buy it for full price anyway. So I guess I can understand why Xbox leaves them there.
 
The Walking Dead is awesome. I played it with my friends. They helped convince me to pick other choices, which lead to new branching paths.

It's why this game is so damn addictive and fun, it's very replayable, and with good writting, and pretty good acting, I'll be happy to go back

Interesting - it would work the opposite for me. Knowing it was on sale for X points, means I'd never buy it unless it was back at X points or lower. But then I'm a CAG ;).

I am so curious to see what all the fuss is about for Walking Dead. I had just dismissed it as a zombie shooter game when it first came out so I had no interest. It seems that it is not that sort of thing... I believe I already have the first 2 episodes on PSN (they were free some time ago) and the first on the iPad (free a few days ago). My son wants me to get them on the 360 since he's a 360 fanboy, but since I have 2 on PSN I'll probably stick with that.
 
In for Hydro Thunder for 400.. been waiting for a drop on that game. The Dreamcast version of HT was the best IMO.. Will see for myself if this one has the same addictiveness..
 
I bought Hydro Thunder Hurricane at 400 Microsoft Points, which was just enough points that I had left, since I used most of the 1600 points I had for the second disc content for Forza 4 (had the Essentials Edition that came with my new Xbox 360 and wanted to pad my collection with more cars). I was a big fan of the original Hydro Thunder and this game feels true to the original, yet still fresh enough to be different. Vector Unit did a great job on this game, and their quality showed as well with their Android and iOS games Riptide GP, Shine Runner, and Beach Buggy Blitz. Honestly, there is little else that I want from this sale, if at all. Would have liked to see a discount on the Forza Horizon Season Pass, but oh well. That's fine, as I don't really want to spend too much at any one place. I was planning to buy the game at the original 1200 points, but I glad I read this topic beforehand. 400 points ($5) is an awesome price for an awesome game.
 
[quote name='Finch106']Also, what is the sale price of the episodes?[/QUOTE]

After the free Ep1, I think a ton of us are wondering the same thing...
 
[quote name='kdiddy1989']After the free Ep1, I think a ton of us are wondering the same thing...[/QUOTE]

I am hoping at worst 300/episode and at best 200. If there is no sale then I will just play the 2 episodes I have from PS+ and buy the last 3 for $15.

Yep, same thing for me. Hope the sale is good so I can get it on 360 cheaper.

No interest in the physical disc anymore as I keep reading bad things about its performance.

Walking Dead should be played by EVERY ONE ASAP! I bought the disc version and could not put it down. All my ranting and raving eventually got my wife to play it and she too got hooked instantly. It manages to get you to care about the characters and what happens to them and forces you to make some tough decisions through the episodes that really make you stop and think "What would I do in this situation!?".

My favorite games this year are Dishonored, FarCry 3, Borderlands 2, and The Walking Dead. I know it makes me come off as a FPS nut but im actually not but all those games above were just so darn good. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the second season of The Walking Dead and cant wait to see where they go with the characters and such. BUY NOW!!! (Actually wait till the sale starts but you get the idea).

As far as the physical disc release and issues being reported, I can speak on at least the XBOX release. The only issue I encountered AT ALL was the maybe 1-2 seconds of skipping during the "Previous On" videos. Thats it, never a in game issue or dialog issue or anything.
 
Ep. 1 was amazing. Knocked it out in about 2 hours. Some hard choices and conversations that get you thinking. Can't wait until the episodes are on sale in a few days. Will be buying them all for sure. Just wish the episodes were longer.
 
Im really glad you liked it! Only cause the more ppl who purchase Season 1 will obviously constitute making more beyond even Season 2. Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS to every one! Hopefully every one has plans and family and friends to spend the day with. Dont worry about deals! hehe.
