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!
