[DragonNCM]

Not bad at all, looking to grab some games.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I've been grabbing their back catalog when the games get to $10 or cheaper.
It's cheaper than having GamePass and you own them digitally.

 

[adamsapple]

Hoping for some good discounts on BC X360 games.

They don't do those often enough.

 

[graywolf323]

Well if the Black Friday rumors are true, strap yourself in.

where had you heard these rumors? because $50 off isn’t even close

Hoping for some good discounts on BC X360 games.

They don't do those often enough.

I’d really like to get the original Ninja Gaiden 2 on sale

Crossing my fingers that Infinite Undiscovery finally goes on sale. Pretty soon I'll just bite the bullet on it in case it gets delisted

 

[adamsapple]

Crossing my fingers that Infinite Undiscovery finally goes on sale. Pretty soon I'll just bite the bullet on it in case it gets delisted

I already own it, but it's been surprising to me that a game like Deadly Premonition has *never* gone on sale since it's come to the digital store.

I would also pick up Arkham Origins if it goes on sale.

I bit the bullet on that one and Enchanted Arms. It hurt.

Then Enchanted Arms vanished and I felt better.

 

[Joramun]

$50 off the console retail price? How is that a BF deal?

 

[analog_future]

$50 off the console retail price? How is that a BF deal?

Bundles too though. So a Series X + Diablo IV for $449.

 

[kazuyamishima]

There’s no confirmation of the bundles being $449, or there is?

 

[twilo99]

The Diablo IV / MWIII bundle at Walmart right now is a solid deal but I expect something even better with the xss

 

[Antwix]

Great to see DBZ Kakarot Deluxe is on sale 75% off. Went on a bit of a DBZ kick and looking to pick that up.

Which DBZ game do you recommend mate?

[TheShocker]

Handful of games I’d like to see on sale. Hopefully this is a good one.

Yeah I think I grabbed DP digital as soon as it became back compat. I think I have four copies of it now between Xbox, Steam and Switch lol. Series X is hands down the best way to play it.

Arkham Origins I don't think I'd even available digitally unless I'm mistaken? I think that's a physical-only BC like 50 Cent.

I think you're spot on there, my bad.

 

[Deerock71]

(I'll scope it out)

 

[OrtizTwelve]

XBOX had the same deal last year, only difference was the Series X wasn’t discounted, just the Series S. This year it’s both models.

 

[bender]

I already own it, but it's been surprising to me that a game like Deadly Premonition has *never* gone on sale since it's come to the digital store.

I bought it as soon as it got relisted in fear of it getting delisted again. It's still the best way to play the game after all these years which is insane.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Target currently has 10% off of an electronic item through Circle plus you get a free full priced game so Series X + game for $485 or so.

 

[adamsapple]

Same, the PC version is trash even after Durante having a crack at it.

 

[Vyse]

Looking for the best deals on Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Resident Evil 4. Held out on both for Black Friday.

 

[Antwix]

Missing the DBZ world

By dbz kick, I mean more just the anime/movies. Not games. Which is why I'm interested in DBZ Kakarot. Kakarot seems the best if you want single player and experience the same story. Fighterz looks great and everyone seems to like it but only if you're interested in multiplayer fighting games. I can't recommend anything though since I haven't played a DBZ game in over a decade.

 

[adamsapple]

A fairly good deal here.

1 month of GPU for $9, max of 24 months per customer. You can get 2 years of GPU for ~$200

 

[kikkis]

Maybe resident evil 4 would be 35€.

 

[Sacred]

and it's gone..

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like the discount prices for Xbox have started applying, XBDeals shows ~900 items with discounts.

Trueachievements will probably make a curated list on this by tomorrow, but if someone wants to see it raw, go to xbdeals.net

 

[El Muerto]

Last year the Black Friday sale started i think on the same date. I bought a Series S with my MS rewards points and the next day they updated the page to where it includes a free pair of wired Xbox headphones. Might be worth it to wait a day or two if you plan on getting a console. Deal from last year. I got like 330k MS rewards points right now, was hoping for a better deal on the elite 2 and use my points on that.

 

[Roberts]

Pretty good sale, maybe the best one this year - I have around 50 games on my wishlist and now 20 of these are on sale.

 

[transformer]

My back log is already too big but there are games I want to play going on sale. Do I hold off or continue to build that back log?

 

[Punished Miku]

RE triple pack 11.99. Thats 4, 5 and 6.

[adamsapple]

[bender]

Remnant 2 is 34 usd the standard edition and the Ultimate Edition is 49 usd.

My backlog....

One of the bigger disappointments for me this year. The original was a nice surprise and my expectations were kind of low considering it was a PS+ freebie and art style is kind of unappealing. That game started off slow and then picked up steam as it went along. I pre-order the sequel since I enjoyed the original so much and it has the opposite problem where it starts off strong and then peters out and culminates with a terrible last boss. I haven't tried the DLC yet but I need to talk my co-op partner into booting it up again which might be a tall order.

sadly none of the ones on my wishlist went on sale Jedi Outcast, Ninja Gaiden II, Infinite Undiscovery, etc.

 

[Punished Miku]

Mega Man Legacy Collection $6. MM 1-6 so $1 a game. But they're real old so that's about the right price.

 

[bender]

Why isn't my FH5 DLC on sale adamsapple ? WHY?!?!?!?!

Damn... That's a pity. I also did a quick search and I learned that the game runs at sub 1080p on the Series S at 30 frames with drops.

I guess I will wait for a better sale on the ps5 version.

Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[adamsapple]

I'll DM Phil right now.

It's by no means bad. I guess I can chalk it up to expectations. I will say the first few hours were really fun, especially coming off of Diablo IV (speaking of disappointments).

 

[StereoVsn]

It’s not a backlog, it’s a library!

 

[Antwix]

Hmm, Mirrors Edge Catalyst on sale for $1. Why not.

 

[Cocksman]

Picked up Evil West. Deciding on Diablo 4 . I figure that might head to Gamepass soon enough though so maybe I’ll keep waiting .
