Was the Crackdown 3 listing in Bloomy's post a glitch?  I believe it was $11.99 the day of the post but it looks like it went up to $23.99.

So yeah, purchased Ducktales Remastered earlier today via web browser, got home, turned on the ole X1X and it wants me to purchase the game again and doesn’t show as owned. Not sure if this is part of the ongoing outage or what. Shows as purchased online but not on the Xbox store and it’s not in my ready to install list. Lovely.

Update: Finally working

This is a tough decision.  Tetris Effect digital for $23.99 or physical for $15.99 with GCU.  My standard PS4 has had trouble reading discs lately so I've been trying to go digital for most deals but that Best Buy physical price sure is tempting...

I felt similarly about Yooka-Laylee.

Exactly. The Yooka-Laylee final boss is ridiculous. Unless you have nearly all possible full health at endgame it’s an extremely difficult boss IMO.

Is this the worst PS+ month ever? Crossing fingers there’s a surprise mid month due to E3 and Sony not being there.

Not happy with the prices on Y's VIII and Blue Reflection.  Neither of those titles should still be listed for that high despite the low level of physical copies out there.  That being said there are some gems in this sale and some titles that I am considering.  Any thoughts on any of the following?

 

Akiba's Trip

Deception IV

Gal Gun:  Double Peace

Valthirian Arc

Utawarerouono Bundle

Yomawari Midnight Shadows

Suikoden I-IV

The Last Remnant

The Liar and the Blind Prince

428:  Shibuya Scramble

Code Realize titles

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Doing the 'second run' on RE2 and then FF7 unlocks tonight. Feels like middle and high school all over again. 
 
Debating World of Final Fantasy for $20. I've played every mainline entry in the series, so I guess I'm the target audience for a 30th anniversary fan service game. I also want these games to succeed on X1. Can anyone recommend?

I played the original version on PS4. Its fun and at $20 that’s a great price. It’s a little bit like Pokemon meets chibi Final Fantasy which may seem odd but it works. Pretty decent storyline and good gameplay. It’s worth a purchase IMO.

If something is 50% off preorder, we just do it!  Lol
 
To be fair, FF XIV is a very nice game as it stands today.  And supposedly this Shadowbringer also includes all past expansions if you are new to the game.  You still need the base game though, and there is that dreaded monthly subscription fee.  But I think FF XIV is the most successful MMORPG with monthly sub charges, except WOW obviously, and I gladly resub once in a while.

The subscriptions has kept me from ever playing XI or XIV even though I would love to play either. I guess I’m also still a bit salty that those two titles have gotten a number in the mainline series, as well. I feel like they should have called them FF Online. Oh well. Not a big deal at this point but still an odd decision.

Ohhh that looks a lot more promising than I would of given Konami credit for.... dammit all though with the "announcement coming soon" titles in the Castlevania collection. I've been debating on that bare bones thing for the PS4 with Bloodlines for $9.99 during this sale. 
 
 
edit: I mean Rondo, but I'll take Bloodlines also

I have the same concern. I was likely going to pull the trigger on getting the Reqiuem collection for PS4, but if this collection includes Rondo, this would obviously be the better deal. Really wish they would have announced the full lineup in this new collection.

I got them for free. If I could give them to you, I would.

How did you get Van Helsing 2 for free? I believe that was the only one that didn’t go GWG.

Any possibility Spider-Man gets a GOTY edition? I’m tempted at the current GCU price and really want to play it but the backlog right now is strong. Trying to get through Smash and RDR2 currently and have Assassins Creed Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Dragon Quest XI waiting in the wings.

Here's the post from Xbox news:

This is honestly stunning.  Seeing these games on the Switch isn't too surprising given Square Enix's former relationship with Nintendo.  But even though the FFXIII series, FF Type-0 HD and FFXV is on Microsoft platforms, I know thought I'd see the day that the PS1 and PS2 era FF games would end up on a Microsoft system.  This is especially surprising given that the recent PS2 remasters were previously PS4 exclusive.  I mean, I am totally regretting getting Zodiac Age for my backlog since there's no way I will be touching it now that it will be playable on the X1X.  And if the PS2 remasters get 4K enhancements and possibly X patches?  Wow, what an amazing turn of events.  The ability to play these titles on the go (Switch) or play on a more powerful system (X1X) is big time news IMO.  I hope they bring over FFVIII eventually, as well.

Assassin's Creed Liberation is $7.99

and it is Backwards Compatible

I've been waiting for that one to drop from $19.99 again for awhile

Beat that game I want to say a couple of years ago when I went through the entire Assassin's Creed series.  Even with its "HD" it still feels like a handheld port.  But it is still a solid game with a fairly likable protagonist (first playable female assassin from what I can remember).  It's definitely worth $7.99.  Hopefully it never goes GWG, but I certainly enjoyed playing it.

This would be so awesome if it comes stateside.

For anyone looking to re-up their Xbox Live subscription, cdkeys is selling 3-month subscriptions for $10.49.  If you purchase each one separately and add their facebook 5% coupon for each purchase then you will get each 3-month code for $9.97.  Not a bad deal.  Each facebook coupon is valid for two uses.  So to get another two uses just wait a little bit and then go back onto their facebook page to get a new code.  Total ends up being $39.88 for one year.
