Now that this week's disappointment with the deals are over, I'm hyped for all the other Xbox announcements. July's Games with Gold freebies, Game Pass July additions and hopefully some more classics that become backwards compatible!!!

Also, Telltale is moving on to a new game engine once TWD Final Season is released. FINALLY. After more than a decade, sheesh

Just to play devils advocate wouldn't all the mixer streamer links being posted be considered "affiliate links" since they're earning something from our purchases?

I figure, if someone is breaking TOS and someone wants to report it, let the mods do their job if that's what is happening. Otherwise, complaining about it in the thread doesn't really solve anything.

I personally find the posts useful, even though I don't buy stuff often, and if it redirects to the official product page and not some shady personal site, if the OP makes 0.25 cents for posting the link, I really don't care.

 
Own fable heroes. Always nice to get another BC game. Did my monthly BC check in on the 360. If I am correct I have 72 games (out of 143) installed on the 360 that went BC that I haven't deleted yet, are delisted, have an X1 remaster or are kinect titles. So a little over half of the games left probably won't go BC.

Is it just me or does a lot of the game cover artwork not load anymore? Over half of the covers don't load.
 
GRID isn’t a bad add. Not sure if I have it still.
I paid full price (with rewards credit) for the dlc not long ago thinking I should hurry up and finish Autosport off as I doubted BC would happen. Odds on the game going GWG seem high now.
 
Reminder if you've been stocking and unredeeming Microsoft Rewards credit codes from a while back (prior to it auto adding to your account), it probably needs to be redeemed by 6/30, but you'll still have 90 days to use it.
 
What ever happened to the terrible fake GWG announcements that used to show up? I miss having a laugh at those.
I don't recall specifically who posted those, but they were always good for a laugh. While doing my daily Bing searches, I usually come across some GWG predictions for the next month. Think I saw the other day one site which was guessing Just Cause 3 & an indie game called Armello.

I own none of those BC announced games. Oh well. Maybe next week
 
mixer.com/Atticgaming86 Just picked the game up on his stream.
He's still streaming Nier and I just picked it up.
How does the Mixer credit work? Any game that is $10 if I buy it through a Mixer link I'll get $5 back into my account?
There's a link on the top of the chat while a streamer is streaming, showing the details for the promo. While logged into your Microsoft account, you buy it from there, and they get a kickback of some kind (lending some credence to the question of whether or not this should be posted on CAG, I guess). You'll eventually get a $5 credit added to your account. According to others, I don't think it's instant and it might be a few weeks.
 
So I get an email from Microsoft Rewards that I earned 3,270 this month, my total was only like 4,242.  I clicked the link in the email that takes me to the Rewards page and I do the usual Daily Sets and Quiz and then I began doing the usual Bing searches.  While doing Bing searches, I noticed my points jumped up to 35,400.  WTH.  I thought it's some kind of glitch but I ended up redeeming $35 worth of Xbox gift card into my account.  I thought it was the Xbox Live Rewards deposit that I'm still waiting for but that was only for $15 and it would've gone straight to my account not Microsoft Rewards right.  I'm not sure what's going on, I did enter the 1 million Microsoft Rewards points Sweepstakes, so maybe I won the lesser prizes?  But then again, my points bumped up during searches.  Anyone else experience something like this before?

 
Microsoft randomly unbanned my rewards account without saying anything. I went to log into it so I could contact them and there it was. What the eff
Did you have Xbox Live rewards account before with the same email as MS Rewards? If so, that got merged into MS rewards this month so you got reactivated along the process.

I think the fact that I was like "Oh snap, what is All-Star Fruit Racing?" is a sign that we're facing a kart racing drought on XBO. C'mon Sonic Team Racing. 

At $36, I will be waiting for a review on that racing fruit. 

 
This is the first sale on Sonic Generations in a year and since it went BC (and X Enhanced). I'm tempted but after my patience regarding All-Star Racing Transformed paid off, I'm hoping that it will go GWG eventually.

The original All-Star Racing game needs to go BC or cheaper already.

Damn, the MMX Legacy Collections are only available in a bundle:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/mega-man-x-legacy-collection/bt07cdvg6z9g

So much for assuming we could all buy the first collection for $20 and forget the rest.

Any thoughts on Slender or Valley?
I think it's definitely worth $4. It starts off very slow, and is sort of a hybrid of Portal and Mirror's Edge. I paid $4 for it and really enjoyed it.

For achievement gluttons, there's a lot to collect, and the game has a minimal tracking system.

How does the original racing game compare to transformed?

No idea, I've only played Transformed which is great but the original 360 version has Banjo and Kazooie which is enough for me to have wanted to get it for years. Just not for $10 as long as it's not BC.

Not sure why they would even have it as a bundle instead of just as one item. Maybe it will be available as two parts once its out.

That might be it. My wife's account got unbanned too. They will probably ban them again as soon as we try to redeem something.

 
Game pass 30 day trial is saving me a ton of money by letting me experience first hand how mediocre and overrated a lot of the available games really are without actually buying them.
 
A girl on mixer called IceRocker has the Fallout 76 preorder for sale for anyone that wanted it. I want the collectors items but I'm too scared to pre-order a fallout game that different without trying it first but the beta is only for people that do pre-order it, which worries me more.
 
Caves to peer pressure and good reviews and got Nier through Mixer. Had over $35 in rebate money from Ibotta though so after the gift card it’s only about $15 out of pocket. Figure if everyone says it’s that good, can’t go wrong for the price. We shall see.
