Already have the main ones Ones I care about on there I think retail may still be cheaper too for many of them. Crysis and forza horizon may be worth a punt though (depends if forza can compete with retail).

Also just a tip: Maybe add a bit more content to your post, it reads a bit like an ad here which the mods might jump on.

Horizon is 30 euro on Amazon, if they go lower than this, I'd buy it. Boot my 360, let it blow all the dust out.

Thanks for the tip, I just seemed like no one was talking about it over here, so I thought I would post this.

Were I live, I can't get Borderlands 2 for below £15 so £9 is an absolute steal. Loving It so far.

Not bad, but I have three of those and don't particularly care for Max Payne 3.

Also, the deals that will be on all week are as follows

Brothers in Arms: HH = £4.49
FC Instincts Predator = £4.49
Crysis = £4.49
C&C Red Alert 3 = £4.49
WWE '13 = £11.99
Mass Effect = £4.49
Prey = £2.69
Perfect Dark Zero = £11.99
Dragon Age: Origins = £4.49
Bulletstorm = £4.49

And no, that Perfect Dark Zero one is not a typo, at least on this end.

Personally, I'm waiting to see what Metal Gear Rising gets lowered to later on in the week, but some decent enough deals there.

I reckon it will be around £15, same with Tomb Raider. I guess they count as recent releases right?

I've been holding out on Max Payne 3 for this long and finally got around to picking it up. Prolly the only thing I'll be getting on this sale though, unfortunately.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

Do you have to be a gold member to access this sale? Because I can't find it. Unless it's a region thing... Again.

EDIT: Seems you don't have to be gold, that's good. But a couple of the specials that are supposed to be up today aren't there like Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga. It's still $30 here, got Max Payne 3 for $10 here though, so bought that. But FarCry 3 should be $20 but it isn't for me, it's $30.

Would help if they put it in a section to make these deals easy to find. Also, the free gold game, Defense Grid!? Wow... That's like, how old and how cheap?

2009. Normally 800 Microsoft points.

I know, I'm shocked too. A huge step down from Fable III, and that's saying something.

OT: Been looking at purchasing Far Cry 3 ever since playing the amazing Blood Dragon. Thanks for the tip!

 

[AuronFtw]

Aww, how cute, it's like Microsoft is trying to emulate Steam sales except hasn't gotten around to making good games cheap.

Maybe by next summer's sale they'll have figured it out. Winter this year if we're lucky.

 

[josemlopes]

Im having Far Cry 3 at 9,99? in Portugal, translating to 840MS points (weird since 800 is 10?, however when wanting to buy with points thats what shows up).

Perfect Dark Zero is still at 14,99? wich is sad, I know that the game is meh but at 2,99? it can be a nice little co-op adventure with a multiplayer mode that can be played with bots.

Prey at 2,99? also seems like a nice catch.

 

[MetalDooley]

Assassin's Creed 3,Far Cry 3 and Borderlands 2 are all ?9.99 here which is pretty good seeing as the cheapest I could currently get physical copies is around ?20 each.Pity I'm broke and already own Far Cry 3

Of the other games listed Perfect Dark Zero and Divinity 2 aren't discounted here.Annoying cos Divinity was the one game I probably would have bought

Yeah the prices are pretty good for the newer games. Not so much for the older ones...

Valve don't have to compete with used games.

$10 for Borderlands 2? maybe I'll actually buy it now.

No, but they do have to compete with Green Man Gaming, Good Old Games, Gamefly, Amazon games, Impulse (GameStop's digital system), Origin, the publishers/developers themselves, and probably a few others I don't know about. Microsoft has to compete with used games and, to a certain extent, PSN and Nintendo eShop. You compete by making your prices lower than the competition or providing more value for the price.

 

[daveman247]

I completed the Forza: Horizon single-player portion in about 6 hours. And while the DLC vehicles are cheaper than the same vehicle in FM4, you are still expected to re-purchase anything you bought for FM4. Oh, and the $20 "rally" pack.

Really, I can only recommend Horizon if you are very much into multi-player racing.

Hm, interesting. On the other hand the forza horizon demo was the first forza I have enjoyed for a while. It just "felt" more interesting than the last three games. I'm more of an arcade racing fan/ hybrid thing though so maybe thats why. The sims just never seem to hold my interest :/

I recently left gold and so far, the games they have offered free haven't impressed me at all. So not regretting it.

Got Blood Dragon on my PC, that game is wicked cool!
