[quote name='clonesniper666']Games wise only RE6 is physical disc, all the other games are digital; even RE5.

The DVD I am not sure about[/QUOTE]

K, thanks. Edited the post so as not to confuse others
 
Dang, why must the RE 6 special edition come with Degeneration on DVD instead of Blu-Ray? Still, that's definitely a good deal if you lack any of the games.
 
[quote name='Cornelius']Who's complaining? My wife's avatar is now adorned in a slinky Catwoman outfit. :whistle2:D[/QUOTE]

Nice. I'm thinking my avatar would look real good in a Joker costume.

[quote name='crunchewy']I'm going to download the From Dust demo, but I'll also accept comments on the game from you folks :) Anyone played and enjoyed it?[/QUOTE]

It was my favorite game of Summer of Arcade (over Bastion, ITSP, and Toy Soldiers: CW). I went in not expecting much, and to me it ended up being TONS of fun. There are about 12 levels and then about 40 challenges. I only went through about half the challenges, they were okay but nothing special. But the 12 campaign levels were pretty enjoyable.

It's not overly challenging at all, which was fine by me (except for 1 level I had to use a guide for). It was just fun to work kind of slowly, watch the game world change, and think what you wanted your next move to be.
 
"buy it and don't complain..do something about it" Depends on the content, some DLC packs (looking at COD) are simply overpriced to begin with ($15 for 4 maps ect) so I refuses to buy them unless they are marked down to where I think they should have been initally.

Just a list of stuff that I refuse to buy unless on sale:
Day 1 DLC
Map Packs
Character Packs ($5 per character?)

Same way with buying games, there's an price/hour ratio that I apply :).

Oh, Linkin Park DJ Hero 2 pack would be good for $4.
 
I'm actually very tempted to get either the Mass Effect or ACII premium themes, but I can't find a preview of what they look like on the newest dashboard.

Just picture what they look like now with a huge grey circular bottom cut off
 
[quote name='Ymeegod']Another sad week, From Dust for 800 Points and that it?

Miss MS had larger weekly sales, especially for OLD shiT thats been out from years? Sony does much better job (bigger selection) with it's weekly sales. Miss a sale, don't worry Sony usually has them back within 1/2 years time--with MS it's miss it and you'll never see it again it :(.

I have 8000+ MS points and I'm waiting for the same freaking DLC packs to go on sale for what seems like forever.[/QUOTE]

You're kidding right? MS has had repeat sales before. I think you're over-exaggerating, this is the first week in awhile that MS has only one thing on sale. So please chill out and maybe use some of those points to buy something while you wait for your DLC packs to go on sale.
 
Ok i finally bought Rocket Knight for 1200MSP - waited enough and looks like never will go on sale. Picked up the Nier dlc as well - another piece of content that is forgotten by MS...
 
[quote name='Sath666']Ok i finally bought Rocket Knight for 1200MSP - waited enough and looks like never will go on sale. Picked up the Nier dlc as well - another piece of content that is forgotten by MS...[/QUOTE]

Rocket Knight is 1 game lots of people on here (360 thread) have been waiting for to go on sale and never has, how is it? I've seen it go on sale before on the psn though.
 
Bought Red Dead Redemption just so I could have it downloaded to my 360. I'm starting to do this more and more and I have to say, it's a really awesome feature. I can switch from RDR to Mass Effect without having to get up! (which makes me sound really lazy, lol)

I also gave up a while ago and I think I bought it during one of those 5% months not too long ago. The game itself is ok, but (and maybe it's just me), but it feels like the game has no soul. I can watch vids of the original and think (hey, I remember that level or song), but the new game, it just lacks "it".
 
[quote name='Cornelius']Who's complaining? My wife's avatar is now adorned in a slinky Catwoman outfit. :whistle2:D[/QUOTE]

So are both of your accounts GOLD? I was thinking about buying it for my girlfriends avatar but only my account is gold (the profiles are on same xbox)
 
Tried to download the DJ Hero DLC but keep getting a message that there's a glitch in the system. Anyone else having the same issue?

EDIT: Went back and tried again and it worked fine for the Jay Z / Eminem pack. Still having difficulty with the Linkin Park one..

Which is why I'm surprised the max is a 320 GB hard drive. Most games are around 8gb and many arcade games are over 1gb. I have 110gb left but I'm choosing my GoD very cautiously. But yeah, my laziness is slowly overcoming my cheapness! Gonna sell my RDR and get the digital one.
 
I actually also bought RDR at 1200 msp. I used to have it, bought all the dlc then ditched it on a gamestop power trade. $15 is actually a fair market price for a "new" copy of sorts.

For anyone as curious as they are lazy, the DJ Hero Linkin Park Mix Pack and GH Classic Rock Track Pack haven't been on sale before. You're welcome, fellow DLC hoarder.

Exacty what I did, can get $12.60 at best buy with 100% and GCU. For $2.40 I'll get rid of a game I planned on keeping anyway.
 
[quote name='darrenaero']Good to know. I usually do eBay, but that's a fair trade in. I can save the credit for later, right?[/QUOTE]

Yep
 
Bought the Eminem/JayZ DJ hero pack and playing it now and realized I forgot how to play this damn game. Guess time to go back to tutorials.

OT: everyime I see that ad on the dash for sales and specials the From Dust pic reminds me of Powdered Toast Man.

I'm confused, you're paying $2.40 to buy a game you already own?
 
[quote name='Tsel'][/spoiler]

Thanks, but neither of those are the current dashboard.[/QUOTE]

Same wallpapers, just the objects that usually appear behind your friends' avatars are no longer there until you click into a friend's profile.

The new dash pretty much gimped the purpose of premium themes.

He's paying $2.40 to replace his physical copy with a digital copy.
 
I'm sure you're just messin, but it's not that uncommon to want to have the games on the hard drive and not have to keep swapping discs, actually finding the game, or having scratched discs.

Yeah i agree with you. It's decent game, but something is missing. Also is really overpriced. Don't know what Konami were thinking.

I think it was right around that time when m$ was trying really hard to make 1200 the new "sweet-spot". They've finally found out over time the "sweet-spot" is 800, although i know many (if not all) CAGs will disagree, and say 50-75% off is the "sweet-spot". :p
 
[quote name='Sath666']Yeah i agree with you. It's decent game, but something is missing. Also is really overpriced. Don't know what Konami were thinking.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it's REALLY overpriced. I couldn't even buy it for $7.50 on PSN. Felt like a good $5 game, but that's it.

The other nice thing about this for me is that I take my 360 when I travel/visit relatives etc and having digital games means I don't have to pack up the disc collection along with all of the hardware. Just plug the box in at the new location and I am ready to go.
 
[quote name='foreverjoe20']I can switch from RDR to Mass Effect without having to get up! (which makes me sound really lazy, lol)[/QUOTE]

Yes it does. But I bet you're willing to get off that couch to grab a doughnut or a bag of Cheetos.

Damn! A lot of games I will never play, but could see myself buying. :lol:
 
[quote name='Royal High Knight']i cant see the list could you write them down?[/QUOTE]
Look up.

Why the hell did they use some dumb web-based excel thing that seems to be unable to handle traffic?

I guess the hook for this sale was that they'd offer as many bad games as possible to show us what they really think of Games on Demand. I might go for Kameo, but that's about it.
 
[quote name='louiedog']Updated post. They're not all amazing, but some seem worth checking out for $5.[/QUOTE]

Thanks man. That excel things sucks, kinda like this sale. Might bite on viva pinta for 400 MSP though. I really liked the demo that came with my arcade 360 from a few years back.

Maybe PoP aswell, for 320 MSP, why not.
