[quote name='DaGrandMastah']Sorry...wrote that from my iPhone. I meant to say XBL...as in the home screen when you sign onto your xbox. I thought I remember seeing supposed space for those 2 days but guess I was wrong.[/QUOTE]

I guess it's possible that they were there and taken down, but I only ever remember seeing the 12 days.

I know I goofed for a bit and had it until the 2nd :whistle2:/

MS or major nelson must have worded it confusingly, because you definitely weren't the only one thinking that the sales would carry into January.
 
I had absolutely no interest in Crysis. With all the wishing for it to go on sale, now I can't wait to pick it up. ;)
 
[quote name='Hunter Hybrid']C'mon EA! Throw Crysis up on your publisher sale. You did it for Amazon, why not XBL now? :)[/QUOTE]

I could go for a nice Crysis sale, come to think of it.
 
[quote name='taylort3']i will buy crysis for 5$ i have no interest past that price.[/QUOTE]


I would guess then you will never be buying it.
 
[quote name='Gabrius']I tend to put fun ahead of charming characters when I make a decision on what to play.[/QUOTE]
Immersion & story are my reasons for gaming, and RDR does both extremely well, imho.
 
[quote name='twztid13']Renew 12 Month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership and get 400 points back!* is the Rewards deal this month. Another disappointment :cry:.[/QUOTE]
Not bad if you pick up a cheap 14m or 12+800 card though but yeah XBL Rewards seems to be more about rewarding new members than loyal ones...
 
[quote name='Exu']Not bad if you pick up a cheap 14m or 12+800 card though but yeah XBL Rewards seems to be more about rewarding new members than loyal ones...[/QUOTE]

Can you use cards to qualify for the 400 points or do you have to make the purchase through the dashboard?
 
[quote name='Thrinn']Can you use cards to qualify for the 400 points or do you have to make the purchase through the dashboard?[/QUOTE]

You can use cards. The big problem is that your membership has to expire this month in order to qualify.
 
[quote name='Surreal_Sunshine']You can use cards. The big problem is that your membership has to expire this month in order to qualify.[/QUOTE]
Ah... so just throwing on another year is no good? Shoot, I had another 12 month card lying around but my current sub doesn't expire until next year.
 
[quote name='Ryuukishi']Ah... so just throwing on another year is no good? Shoot, I had another 12 month card lying around but my current sub doesn't expire until next year.[/QUOTE]

Not unless they've changed something. I don't get credit for applying a card to my account, but I do get credited when it takes effect.
 
[quote name='Surreal_Sunshine']You can use cards. The big problem is that your membership has to expire this month in order to qualify.[/QUOTE]Dame mine was set to expire on the 3rd. I got a card from the wife on Xmas and redeemed it that day. Wish I would have waited. You win some, you lose some I guess.

.[/QUOTE]

Can't locate most dance packs or the marathon packs? Were these available before?? Weird there not available right before the sale starts?
 
[quote name='DarkZion']I can't even think of anything EA could put on sale that I'd want, so luckily I won't be disappointed when the sale hits.[/QUOTE]

Not much here too... but there are some things.

Wondering if I should get Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet... Getting low on points (I'll have about 10 bucks left) and no sales in sight. *sigh*
 
[quote name='snky_pete']I am hoping the Bulletstorm map packs will go on sale in addition to Crysis and Crysis 2 content.[/QUOTE]

I forgot that Bulletstorm was published by EA. Now I'm hoping for the same thing. I love anarchy!
 
[quote name='vamn']Welp, the GOW Lancers and Hammerbursts are gone. Looks like Microsoft followed through on it after all. Anyone notice any other stuff get delisted?[/QUOTE]

A few games are gone. The only on of note in my opinion was Outrun which is a fabulous port of Sega's newish arcade releases.

Turtles in Time is gone as well but holy shit was that a bad re-imagining of a fantastic game.

I'd recommend ITSP for 600 points.
 
[quote name='Surreal_Sunshine']You can use cards. The big problem is that your membership has to expire this month in order to qualify.[/QUOTE]

I renewed via card in November and never got any points for it.
 
[quote name='Halo05']Turtles in Time is gone as well but holy shit was that a bad re-imagining of a fantastic game.[/QUOTE]

Bring on a port, not a remake! And pack in the SNES content too. Aw yeah. I'll pay full price day one.
 
[quote name='nadohawk']I renewed via card in November and never got any points for it.[/QUOTE]

It takes a month for the points to show up
 
[quote name='tylerh1701']I'd recommend ITSP for 600 points.[/QUOTE]

Its got a Solar Jetman* vibe to it that appeals to me that I cannot shake... Granted, there seems to be more to ITSP than that but its there nonetheless. :)

* A Very old NES title.
 
[quote name='FRAUD_WHATS_THAT']Can't locate most dance packs or the marathon packs? Were these available before?? Weird there not available right before the sale starts?[/QUOTE]
Packs are only made avaliable during the sales. Otherwise only the dance packs for Dance Central 2 seem like a will be there on the marketplace all the time kinda thing.
 
[quote name='killer9']come on ms add mass effect 2 to games on demand damn it[/QUOTE]

Just curious why you would want a game that is widely available cheap, on games on demand where it would be more expensive?
 
[quote name='killer9']come on ms add mass effect 2 to games on demand damn it[/QUOTE]
The game is cheaper on alot and i mean alot of places.. like Amazon :)
 
Does anyone know when the ea sales will go live? Will it show up along with the DoTW? Or will it be like the Xmas single day sales and they went live around 8pst?
 
[quote name='biledriver']Just curious why you would want a game that is widely available cheap, on games on demand where it would be more expensive?[/QUOTE]

I got a ton of ms points and the cheapest I can find me2 is 19.99 free ms points or cash cheap ass gamer for a reason
 
you guys want a discount for dlc on a 2 year old game?

if you wanted the dlc that bad wouldn't you have bought it by now? or did you just get your xbox this christmas? i think it has already been on sale but after the sale on 2 - 4 year old call of duty content i wouldn't be surprised if the sale has mass effect 2 content

I still have not finished the game. I've had it since launch, but started it a few months ago. So yeah I would dig the DLC being on sale. Not to mention ME3 is coming in a few months so now IS a good time to sell DLC to those who have waited. You know "complete the story before ME3" kinda thing.
 
I see the appeal of GoD titles, I really like being able to fire up Halo without swapping discs. Mass Effect doesn't have that same pick up and play appeal to me but it might to him.
 
[quote name='Bradisback']Does anyone know when the ea sales will go live? Will it show up along with the DoTW? Or will it be like the Xmas single day sales and they went live around 8pst?[/QUOTE]

Good question, my guess is it will show up with DotW early tomorrow morning. But I'll be checking xbldb later this evening just in case.
 
I'm hoping for the ME2 dlc that hasnt been on sale (last one I think...), earthworm jim (missed it last time), nba jam and a few other things. I have 1800 or so points, more if my rewards come through

Arrival has been on sale once. It was on sale for half off.
 
[quote name='bardockkun']Arrival has been on sale once. It was on sale for half off.[/QUOTE]

Yep. I bought it while it was half off. Check out xbldb.com for the exact date.
 
[quote name='killer9']come on ms add mass effect 2 to games on demand damn it[/QUOTE]

As one of the few people who actually buys games on demand i approve this message...i get my points cheap so that usually balances out the high GoD prices and i like not having to change the discs, especially since ME2 on xbox is 2 discs. The weird thing is that it is available for digital download on PSN but not xbox GoD
 
I will take anything I can get... I have about 3600 pts leftover in my account and im always itching to spend them. I saved up so much because I was hoping the Black Friday/Holiday Daily Deals would be awesome.

In their own respect they were, none of them appealed to me all that much.

Finally getting Bastion, SF3, and DW2 for half off was worth the wait.

Has there ever been an SNK sale before? More specifically has Neo Geo Battle Coliseum been on sale before?

--pretty excited about finally joining the community btw... been a long time lurker...
 
[quote name='kill3r7']Yep. I bought it while it was half off. Check out xbldb.com for the exact date.[/QUOTE]

Hm, is there one that wasnt on sale? dragon age 2 is ea also right? I need all of that dlc too
