  • 9/2 - Deals with Gold, Spotlight Activision, Misc Markdowns
  • 8/28 - Sept GwG announced, Misc Markdown
  • 8/27 - NFS Rivals XB1 added to Deals with Gold, Ascend server shutdown

This thread will maintain a list of all current and upcoming sales and markdowns on the Xbox Live Marketplace / Xbox Games Store for the USA.  YMMV in other regions.  If non-US sales are listed, they will be marked with their applicable region(s).
 
Please note:

  • You cannot currently buy any Xbox 360 content on xbox.com using your account balance, you can only use an active credit card or PayPal. To use your balance, you must make purchases on your console.  Unfortunately, even "purchasing" free content through the web site like trials requires an alternative method of payment tied to your account, though adding an empty MasterCard / Visa gift card that is registered for online purchases will work.  Xbox One games can be purchased on the web site with your account balance, but DLC cannot.
  • Some sales are intended for Gold subscribers only, as noted within each section.  This requires being a paid subscriber or within a console-activated "1 month complimentary Gold trial" account.  Neither 48 hour trials, 14 day trials nor free weekends qualify.
  • All known sales and information on sales should make their way into the OP. Major Nelson usually updates his blog with new sales information every other Tuesday.
  • ALL OFFERS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE! No information within this thread can or should be construed as accurate (or still valid), therefore ...
  • Always verify Xbox Live Marketplace prices before your purchase!
  • Spend wisely, have fun, and enjoy!

Bringing the fun to those too lazy to look for themselves. -> http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/41.aspx

That's the section where people post about their bans. Enjoy.
Like Ryukushi said, they used to be so much better when the XBLPETs would make snarky comments and such, but they've pretty much done away with that completely, so the forum basically just feels like 11 year olds who know they broke the rules using their not quite mature brains as a way to try and say their innocent, then the PETs just copy/pasting the same stuff.

Batman Blackgate is out and looks amazing. I even have to restrain myself to not get it right now (I'm sure it won't be too long before the first sale, besides, $19.99).
Wait man. I paid $17 for the Vita version and sold it for $13. That seemed like a fair price. $20 for an unsellable digital version is not a fair price for the game. It's not bad it's just the definition of mediocrity for me. For every fun part in the game, there's a part that's equally dull.

Yeah, I'd recommend waiting. Won't be long before it hits $10, and I'm kinda pissed they have the balls to charge $20 for a former handheld title (a bad handheld title) when porting it probably cost them next-to-nothing. I don't like the idea of handheld games being beta versions for full games (Mirror of Fate, this, Liberation (though Liberation lost MP in porting, so the handheld version still has its perks)).
Only reason it bothers me is that the Vita needs all the support it can get, so every time they port a game off the Vita to other consoles it hurts the Vita a bit. Haha and I think it's safe to assume that you haven't played the Liberation MP if you consider it a "perk".

I get that. Felt similarly when RE: Revelations went multiplat (forgot to include it in the list). And no, still holding out on my Vita purchase. Someday soon. :bouncy:

Glad to hear you're interested in getting one. For a downloadable/indie game lover like me, it's pure bliss.

Also, check out some awesome AC Liberation MP gameplay if you haven't seen it before:

Edit: Nevermind Ryukishi beat me to it.

I think Stepto was probably the one that encouraged the snarky comments but now whomever is in charge is probably a "corporate suit" so they don't want anyone interacting with the customer above the bare minimum.

They were probably embarrassed with DMaul's saga at the end of Stepto's tenure. Notice how there's no PAX talks anymore and we don't even know who the person who heads up enforcement is.

I highly recommend everyone go into the Major Nelson podcast archives and find Stepto's 3 or 4 XBL policy panels at PAX's from 09-11. Great listen.

My younger brother had someone hack his and change it to 10 years back when Black Ops 1 came out. Microsoft banned his account costing him a year of XBL he had just renewed. He had just turned 10.

I don't find it funny at all.
How could he do that unless he had the account downloaded?

 
It's been 3 weeks since i bought anything from these sales. I feel the urge to spend, last time i almost fell for 2 indie games some CAG fellows suggested. Now i'm about to break, i am sooo close of falling for that new Yugioh game. Obviously i need professional help.

Yeah... I'm no expert but I don't think it's possible to accomplish that kind of hack unless you have access to the email address and password associated with the account so you can download it to a local HDD. There's got to be more to that story.

Most common is with phishing emails. "Free Microsoft Points" for a kid that young can be very tempting. Then they download the profile (if they even have to) and change tenure. Usually people are embarrassed to admit they fell for such a trick.

There is a few things you can do to set up more security on your account. I use an authenticator.

Mount Your Friends is only $1 and should keep you entertained for at least an hour if you have at least 1 other friend that has it. With the lack of sales I want, I ended up buying Goat Simulator on PC. I hope that eventually comes to Xbox One somehow, but I highly doubt it.

If you do not have this, get it meow http://www.gamefly.com/Buy-Dead-Rising-3/5006505/?adtrackingid=cmju029#axzz2xfNwGFVf

 
i really really really wish they would release a new HDD upgrade for the 360.  Every month I get closer to the limit. =\ already had to delete 9 games (40GB)and season one of workaholics. 

is anyone using the 32GB stck for games on demand? do they run at all from a usb stick? if so do they run similar versus being on an HDD?

Yeah you were who suggested that game. I might go for it, on the other hand is good to know that i'm not alone in this need to buy games even with a huge backlog on the basement.

Yo fellow Bob. If you haven't already, since you bought Goat Simulator. You may wanna sign up for GMG/Playfire before you play it. You can get $4.50 of GMG Credit from the game by playing it/unlocking achievements. -> http://blog.playfire.com/2014/04/tuesdays-rewards-01042014.html

Thanks for the Dead Rising 3 for $25 at Gamefly link.

Glad to hear you're interested in getting one. For a downloadable/indie game lover like me, it's pure bliss.
I am. I'm still ashamed of myself for not owning a PSP (maybe someday), and it's a great handheld as long as you go in knowing it's a niche game machine (which you've pretty much acknowledged you're cool with). With the release of the 2k and the phasing out of the 1k, I'm sure my Vita purchase will be any day now (I really really like the OLED screen, part of the entire appeal of the handheld). Not to start a war, but I like my 3DS for the library, not the tech. The Vita is the one I like the tech for, and not so much the library (but I like it enough to wanna get the thing).

Thanks for the video. Yeah, I'm not missing out on not getting it for Vita I guess. :p Don't really want one for "AAA" titles anyways.

Lol, my advice is to step away from this site!

Thanks. Cheese and crackers I already almost finished it. I just have flappy goat achievement left and that one is driving me bananas. I love the game.

EDIT: The only thing that can pull me away from Goat Simulator is that new Netflix original movie that just came out today.

FYI all the DLC/cards from the last Yugioh XBLA game carries over to the new one.

 
Thanks BobbyTastic and Tyler for your comments about Blackgate. Obviously I wanted to wait until a sale anyways, but I didn't know the game was THAT bad.

 
Yeah... I'm no expert but I don't think it's possible to accomplish that kind of hack unless you have access to the email address and password associated with the account so you can download it to a local HDD. There's got to be more to that story.
It's actually a process done straight through Xbox and their shitty support system. Most of the ***holes who go around stealing people's accounts get them straight from Xbox support by falsifying their identities. No phishing through email or anything like that. I've had my account hacked twice since I got my 360 on Launch day, the last time being 2 or 3 years ago. It's always a great day to wake up and see that someone has spent $120 on Fifa Ultimate Team DLC. It's even better waiting 4 months to get refunded the money.

This is the end of my rant.
 
Ah, special trollface day posting from me at work, but first a joke ...

What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungie chord?

My ass.

Gnaa-ha-HA-haaaa

ENOUGH!

WWE 2K14 25% off and DlC 50% off

Amazing Spider-man 66% off and DLC 66%
I thought this was a snarky response to:

Anyone know the deal with the Live system update this morning?
It is so difficult to tell today -_-

You can hack your tenure?!?! Wow, people are creative. Probably would be cooler if they can hack their gamerpic to be anything they upload. ;)
No! It will not be cooler, it would be more like:

Anyone know if the DOA5U "DOA5 complete costumes" price reduction is temporary or a permanent price drop? If the former, when does the special lower price expire?

Okay, not often do I quick post, but I think I've encountered this a few times while reading this thread. I just cannot get all the jargon or lingo you kids use these days. I've heard Cheeze-its and Meow a lot from a few posts, care to enlighten me? Are we all creating our own catchphrases? Is that what we are doing? Believe It!

Neither DOA5 complete costumes nor Limbo are on Majornelson's dotw post, so It seems a price reduction. It's up to you if you want to get it or not, but I know I got it the same moment I saw it at the new price (DOA5's, I don't care about Limbo). I don't trust in costume's permanent price drops (specially if it's from Tecmo or Capcom). And I think that $20 is also too much for some superficial extra content... but I'm a sucker for those things T_T

I'd say Limbo is a price drop, but who knows with a costume pack with a normal $40 price tag? It's crazy to see a price like that for just DLC costumes. Tecmo's greed knows no limit.

Thanks. Cheese and crackers I already almost finished it. I just have flappy goat achievement left and that one is driving me bananas. I love the game.

EDIT: The only thing that can pull me away from Goat Simulator is that new Netflix original movie that just came out today.
Hopefully once you register, it'll count it anyways. Best of luck getting a free $4.50. GMG has decent sales most of the time too, so it's not like you'll be sitting on that money.

That's really handy to know. Thank you.

No problem.

It's most likely a permanent price drop because neither Tecmo Koei America or Tecmo Koei Europe has tweeted about it (and Tecmo Koei Europe tweets a LOT, they even had a free DLC giveaway today for PS3 people, much better people than Tecmo Koei America).

Also, Bob is the only one with those kind of things, and that's just because he's Bob. It's how he rolls.

.. Just had to say his catchphrase didn't you? Now it's stuck in my head, so I'm going to make everyone suffer.

I HATE you. Thanks for reminding me there'll never be a sequel to that GLORIOUS movie :'(
Unfortunately, no. But if they made one today it'd be shit so.. eh.

I can stream the movie for my CAG brethren on LiveStream, if you want. I just so happen to have a definitely-legal copy downloaded on my computer currently.

The words "believe it" sound weird now.

 
Are we only allowed to complain on the internet? I criticized it a few pages back, even telling people to avoid it, but then played it last night and it was great. It's a free game, so I'm encouraging people to play it since it's actually better than many games I've paid for.
Nah it's not that. Just the way you worded your post set off alarm bells in my head.
 
Stuff a bird in your backpack and you can have your own adventures!
Followed your advice and now I just have the stench of dead bird in my backpack - off to live out the adventure of hosing that out - last time I ever take advice from you mate . . . .

Not a bad idea... So many pigeons to pick from... Should I just stick it in the backpack or stuff it in a red and white ball and then the backpack?
I Say just go to a lake and cram a geese in your backpack and spray paint it red. Geese are the only birds asshole enough to play Kazooie.

You're suppose to wear cut off jean shorts. CUT OFF JEAN SHORTS! The look will confuse the birds to life with awkward fashion choice, while you cram your fist in honey combs to take honey pieces.

Next time I'll tell you all how to have your own flying two-tailed fox sidekick. Here's a hint, staples and two foxes!

Not to start a war, but I like my 3DS for the library, not the tech. The Vita is the one I like the tech for, and not so much the library (but I like it enough to wanna get the thing).
I hope nobody would start an argument over that comment. It's spot on.
Yeah a buddy of mine went Vita this generation and I stayed with Nintendo and upgraded from a DS Lite to a 3DS right at that time when the price cuts went live and you could get in on the Nintendo Ambassador program. I was talking with him the other day and he said he has nothing to play on his system.

There's plenty to play if you have an extremely varied tastes in genres and don't mind smaller digital games. But there are only a couple heavy-hitters, compared to the 3DS lineup which is stacked with them. Also lots more games on Vita that also exist on other systems, whereas the 3DS has stronger exclusives.

Deadlight? That was on sale for $3.74 during this past Xmas. That's gonna piss some people off. I know a couple of people who bought it then. Can't wait to hear them rage on MS. Lol.
yea but wasn't civilization that was free last month also on sale during the same Xmas sale?
 
I'd probably be in for $10 for Spider-Man, but even though it's a only a few bucks more then that it's just making me not want to get it :/

 
I dont know why but that new Yu Gi Oh game is looking really tempting for 10 bucks

im assuming it wont go on sale anytime soon

 
Well worth the $10 imo. One nice feature is if you have a gamesave from decade duels, it will import your deck lists and your card collection. It also seems the ban list is the current april list as well as having card list up to legacy of the valiant booster pack.

Agreed, I own both and the Vita has plenty of games. I have a hard enough time just keeping up with the PS+ Vita offerings let alone buying new releases. The Vita with PS+ is by far the best value in gaming. That said, the 3DS has an excellent library of exclusives. IMO the 3DS offered the best gaming experience last year and that includes "next gen" consoles.

 
You'll be able to play Nintendogs Kinectimals PlayStation Vita Pets soon.

Would you recommend getting Decade Duels for the cards, are the cards in the new game better, or does the new game have all the cards?

 
I would recommend just going with Millennium Duels. You would have to put at least 60 hours into the first one, and you might get lucky enough to unlock all the cards, ~ 3,800 of them. The new one had, according to the screen shots, at least 6,000 cards. I can confirm it has some of the special promo cards that were released, The Seal of Orichalcos.

Looks like I'm right once in a while then. :p

Good, now you're stuck with it in your head forever like the rest of us.

And as usual, Bardock provides me with my laughs this morning. Geese really are fucking assholes.

I was serious about streaming the movie, by the way, if anyone was interested. All CAGs would be invited, of course. I've streamed a couple of films in the past, so I've learned how to do it through trial-and-error. :bouncy:

Wait, wait, wait. So I can use this game to take people's souls online? Neat.

Lol I knew it'd be taken like that. He has no games to play because he's played the ones he's got already.
 
Hmmm, if you have the Disc version of Amazing Spider-Man you coulde trade it in to Best Buy for $17 ($18.70 with GCU), buy a $15 Xbox Bucks card, submit the receipt through that text promotion to get $5 more and then buy the digital version for $13.50 on Xbox Live. Get a digital copy of the game, make about $4 in Best Buy credit and have $6.50 in Xbox Bucks left over. 

Very tempted by this as I bought the game for $10 two Black Fridays ago at Microsoft Store...

Just click "Hide" on your post. It hides it from everyone but the mods.

Tell me why I shouldn't grab Spiderman because the thought of being Stan Lee is really pulling me in.
Don't grab Spidey from this sale because you can get the base game cheaper with enough patience (but only $3 or so cheaper, so if you don't think the wait is worth $3, just get it now). Just grab the Stan Lee DLC (and the other DLCs that interest you) now so you don't have to worry about a sale on them later. Then when Spidey for $10 shows up, nab it and you're all set.

Edit: I myself got Amazing Spidey for $25 during Black Friday 2012 at Walmart, because I am what they call "a sucker". :bouncy:

I even did a return/rebuy to Best Buy so I could get the version with the slipcover. Worth it.
