I need the Stacking DLC to go on sale, so here's hoping for a Double Fine sale.

Also, Metro Last Light Season Pass Sale, as well as New Vegas DLC as I've never played any of those.
Like Daniel Bryan would say, "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" Just "rent" the goty edition. Last thing we need is a day of sales dedicated to anything Fallout.

 
It's whatever^

I didn't want a day dedicated to Forza or Castlevania.

Easier to just buy them digitally. Would do it without question before I moved, but now both local Gamestops are just filled with assholes that give you a hard time about anything.

 
This marks my second purchase of Castlevania Mirror of Fate. I bought it for the 3DS right before it was announced for consoles and haven't played it because I'm not much of a handheld gamer. $7.50 is worth the double dip I think.

 
Those were on sale at some point. I can't remember when exactly (check xbldb). I know I grabbed both dlc packs when they went on sale though.
Yeah, it was probably 2 years ago. That's when I got them. The dlc's are poorly done. Just a couple moving sketches for cut scenes. The first one was decent since you got to play as a new character. The last one is just a very difficult boss fight.

 
Any help for somebody who's never played a Castlevania game before? Which one's good because I'm thinking of grabbing one?
I am going to give you the best (but not exactly the most popular) response. SOTN is great and you really should pick it up if you have the funds to do so. However, if you own a GBA, DS, or 3DS then I would highly recommend picking up one of the later Castlavanias instead (again if you are on a budget). Those are basically the evolution of SOTN with more refined visuals, mechanics, and game play. They will give you a better playing experience than the more antiquated SOTN.

Booooo!

 
Will Trials Evo ever go on sale? Greedy bastards. They only put bad games on sale.
The trials games and dlc have only ever been on one-day sales from my recollection, as I've bought them all on sale except the most recent evo dlc as I've never caught that one on sale...

I'd anticipate that if you check xbla every day between now and new years at least some trials content will go on sale for a day, if not check back during the spring sale.

I would suggest using xbldb to see if there has been any pattern as to when, but I seem to recall them going on sale around Christmas in the past. Good luck, they're totally worth even full price!
 
***HEADS UP***

Apparently both the Konami Arcade Games XBLA versions of The Simpsons and X-Men were delisted from PSN, my guess is they'll be delisted from Xbox Live as well at the end of this sale, so grab them while you can!

Better yet, play them all... Indeed after sotn they moved this gaming goodness series entirely to handhelds, so if you're wondering why everyone recollects sotn so fondly, they probably haven't been playing the portable versions, which are almost universally equally stellar... The best thing about sotn is you can get it for nearly any platform now regularly on sale for under $5, so you would be remiss to skip this genre defining title at $3. If you like it, getting a cheap DS-lite to play the rest of the series is not a bad investment, if you can actually find copies of the games (else just emulate it)

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll pick these up in the current sale.

I was going to wait until the Simpsons went lower but I don't want to lose out either. Guess I'll buy.

What's up with all the Marvel content disappearing? First Marvel vs Capcom, now X-Men Arcade. What's next, Spider-man games?

 
I completed the My Apps punchcard in October, but now Xbox Live Rewards is showing only three of the five punches. I received the 1,000 credits a couple days after completing the punchcard, so the glitch doesn't matter.

I finished my first two apps early in the middle of September. Considering the punchcard kept getting extended maybe the site isn't able to keep track of the stats that happened over three months ago. Has anyone else recently lost punches for this card?

 
I played through it. I enjoyed it, but it isn't the deepest game in the world. Kind of like a 2D God of War, story is interesting (Probably the best part for me personally) you play as three different characters and gain new abilities as you play through. It is NOT, I repeat NOT a Metroid-Vania like SOTN, if you are expecting that you will be disappointed. If you want a good action game with a unique story to play through in a couple of afternoons over the holiday its $7.50 well spent.

 
It isn't for me because the game is awful. However, Mirror of Fate is $25 used on a handheld. So if someone is interested in the game, half off the XBLA price is a pretty damn good deal.
No idea where you're getting your price quote from, but it's under $15 NEW on Amazon. I've consistently seen it under $20 new everywhere.

^^^

what they said. Order of Ecclesia is by far my favorite Castlevania game. Then Rondo of Blood, then Simon's Quest for purely nostalgic reasons. Heck if you have a PSP kicking around you can get Rondo of Blood with SOTN added as an extra.

I don't support Amazon or any other online only retailer. That's the price used at Gamestop which was the most readily available.

 
What? But you support Gamestop?
They have brick and mortar stores that hire local people and put money into the local economy through taxes and standard retail foundations don't they? Amazon on the other hand still clings to ancient mail order laws to avoid collecting sales tax and in several states refuse to even have warehouses that employ people , again, simply to avoid charging tax. They even want to create mail delivery drones because that's a few less actual humans they need to employ. It's fine for those that wish to support that but gaming is a hobby so I choose to support what I do because I can.

Not something that needs to be argued here and certainly not something to be judging people about. My money, my choice, after all.

I think the point being made is just because you don't like Amazon doesn't change the fact that anyone who is not you can get Mirror of Fate for considerably less than $25 on 3DS.

As a cag I take advantage of any deals. But I don't know any managers. But GS hasn't had any deals I wanted for several months. It's like saying buy American made items, and 95% of all our things are made in China.

You can spend your money whatever way you want, you have that right.

However, you are not entitled to your own facts. Amazon employs 109,800 and Gamestop employs 17,000 -- The "ancient mail order" law you speak about is the commerce clause of the constitution. Amazon pays more in taxes and has more community efforts than Gamestop. This includes annual donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and charity:water. I will not peruse this debate, but just wanted to call out on facts.

Didn't know I was judging anyone. The statement surprised me, and I didn't understand the preference.

Back on track I would advise against the Castlevania HD DLC boards if you are looking to play with others. The game itself was a cash grab with a $10-$15 game(6 boards) + $20-$30 of DLC boards(6 or 7 boards) and few people went in on it. There is apparently good loot to be had but was never worth it to me. Game should have came with at least 10 boards from the beginning IMO.

 
Guacamelee is coming to Xbox One.

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack coming to 360.

Both are amazing games.
Shut up! You're putting this thread back on track with your talk of "games" and not of your talk on how Gamestop killed our family with mediocre deals or whatever!

Don't joke about that! My brother was killed by Gamestop. Crushed under a magazine rack. There was blood and glitter everywhere, it was horrible.

 
We shouldn't joke about this. My friend was killed at a Gamestop for real. It was labeled an accident. His family sued but all they got was the Xbone launch titles and they turned out to be gutted.

On an unrelated note, it seems that the price drops happen around 7 pm eastern time. can't wait to see what's next. This year of not having a leaked list truly sucks. They should give Major the whole list and have him "leak it". as it is he isn't even needed. Spylons site is a better Major than Major.
 
How is mirror of fate? Worth it at this price? (I already have SotN, had it since the day it was originally released!)

I'm pretty sure the concern was that if we don't shop at Gamestop, Amazon drones will becoming sentient.
