is this new? seems much better than storeparser... https://xbdeals.net/us-store/discounts?type=games
I like that this website puts the Gold and non-Gold prices next to each other.

FFXIII isn’t available digital, is it?
You're right. I looked at -2 and -3 and just assumed -1 was also the same price (and available digitally)...

On a similar note, I wonder if it is up to the game devs or MS technicians to make multi-disc games available for digital purchase.

 
Does anyone gameshare Fortnite Save the World? Can you both earn v-bucks like this?
As far as I know yes. I gameshare with my 11 year old son and even though he always wants to just play Battle Royale, we have done Save the World a few times and while I didn't see his screen he mentioned being excited to have a way to earn some V-Bucks.
 
Speaking of gamesharing, I want to be sure I'm not an idiot about this. Is gamesharing and having someone on your account as "family" the same thing? I ask because I want to be able to put time limits on my son's account and thought I could do that if I added him as family but when I go to the website he's not listed under the family section.

So if we are just gamesharing like everyone else, does anyone know how I limit his time?
 
For the multiplayer quest, I wonder how they track that. Will it count time spent between matches, etc? What about in menus? I'd hate to have to spend 90 mins actually in game in order to make sure I get 60 of actual MP.

I guess the only way to do it is to track total in-match time vs game time myself and wait 48 hours to see how they tabulate it.
I'm curious too. I should be able to manage it though, I play a decent amount of Overwatch.

 
Great choice. Sleeping Dogs is amazing. I never really replay games and I have gotten 100% on Sleeping Dogs on 3 different consoles. It is unassumingly compelling. Great variety of things to do, map is perfectly sprinkled with lots of activities, excellent voice acting and plot, awesome variety of hand to hand combat and occasional gunplay, and an amazing Enter the Dragon DLC. I think this game sold alright, but I don't feel it gets the love it deserves. I think everyone should give it a chance, especially when it is so cheap.

Convert, and then we can clamor for a sequel. Hop on the bandwagon my friends.
Great game but the Triad Wars spinoff they did on PC never got out of Beta and the studio shut down in 2016.

 
I may buy Hellblade to support the dev and game, especially since they did that charity piece in honor of the mental illness themes in the game. As a mental health worker, that means something to me.
I’m going to get it just because I’ve dealt with mental illness my whole life. I read a great article about how much effort in researching and portraying schizophrenia right. Very few movie/show producers or game developers put as much care and accuracy regarding mental health.
 
Storeparser picked up Pinball FX3 Tables...don't see them in majors post...maybe more hidden DLC to find? =O

Also which sale was the one where you get more deals in the second week..?

Think that's the end of the year countdown sale with more sales the second week.

Yeah, noticed a few price drops for Pinball FX3 on Storeparser.com. Might pickup some tables.

Only got Tropico 5 Bundle so far with all DLC.

Also pre-ordered No Mans Sky :p

Now only getting the 3 Months gamepass (yes, it works with account credit @poster above.... you just should cancel the auto renew... which now also works from the console thru your account management)

Still would like some classic 2d games, maybe getting Rogue Legacy or something else. Any good classic 2d games/sidescrollers worth checking out?

Can I use MS credit to get the 3 months of GamePass for $10 or do I have to use a debit/credit card?
You should be able to use credit but I think you have to have a card on file for the auto-renew, which you can just turn off right after buying.

I don't think so. When Xbone was announced they said you'd be able to gameshare using a family plan, but that was scrapped along with all the DRM bullshit. The actual gameshare method we have now has nothing to do with the family settings.

I think what you want is something with parental controls, but I haven't messed with these at all. It looks like this is what you need.

Yeah, I snagged the Last Jedi and Jurassic World packs using mostly search rewards. Got all 75 tables now. I ... have a problem.
 
It's kinda surprising they still sell the 360 Silent Hill ports, since they were kinda broken. No idea how tolerable the problems are, though.

I'd enjoy revisiting Destiny 1 (played on PS3) and $10 is tempting, but I wish it was the X1 version.

I played through Silent Hill 2 several times without any major issues that I can remember. I didn't play Silent Hill 3, but I recall reading about people having freezing issues.

 
I did buy and play City of Brass last night and I really enjoyed it. The game is a very cool rogue-like and I really enjoyed the setting and atmosphere. The whip is very fun and innovative game play mechanic. You can use it to pick up gold and throw able objects from a distance. It stuns enemies if you hit them in the head and you can knock them off their feet or whip their weapons out of their hands. I also found a frost whip in one run that froze enemies. There is a leveling system as well that gives you better starting equipment as you play and level up. It is a very challenging game but I hope to get better at it.
 

The game is also getting some new free content. I received the armory update when the game downloaded that added new weapons, armor and relics and there is another update in the works that adds three new playable characters to the game called Fortunes Rivals. This update is available now on Steam for free but coming soon to Xbox. The update added new steam achievements so I hope it adds more Xbox achievements. Highly recommended.

I will get the three months of game pass deal once my current free month expires at the end of next week.

The only other two games I am considering now are Masters of Anima and The Adventure Pals.
 

I really wish Xbox had a wish list feature like PS4 and Switch.
It always helps me to narrow down my game purchasing decisions.

And there goes a PSN flash sale with some better prices than Xbox...
Yeah, and very weird that it started on a Thursday. Might be an in your face move by Sony.

Edit: actually the flash sale isn’t that great. A few items cheaper and a few items more expensive.

I've been looking to pick it up since I played the trial back in like December or January. The Collection is the only version available, and has been $60 since the last time it was on sale which was this time last year, which I assume was the the summer sale. Sigh. At this point I'm considering skipping 1 and just getting 2 since it is so cheap.

It's $30 on Amazon, which is a lot of content for the price, but since I'v already played 90% of it, I think $20 is my limit.

Given the lukewarm reception of D2, I can imagine they don't want to promote the original at the expense of the sequel. Still think all the original content should be available in D2.

 
Yeah, sale doesn't look great. Ended up picking up Oh...Sir The Hollywood Roast as I had $4 on my account and enjoyed the first one when I got it for like $2.
