Xbox Live Countdown to 2013 sale [begins Dec 18th]

The Walking Dead Episode One free from 25th to 31st.

Damn, I just bought this last night. And now I'm going to have to wait to play the rest until it goes on sale.
Hoily shit, is this Gold only?

After 8 years I finally let it lapse for the first time and am doubtfull if I will ever pick it back up.

Another great sale!

All of the Walking Dead, Mark of the Ninja, and Deadlight for me.


EDIT: Is the Walking Dead already on sale? All eps are showing as 400pts right now...

I had no idea Trials Evolution had DLC. Would have been an instabuy. Now I'll just wait. Also I'll be grabbing Dust.

Well, glad I waited for Mark of the Ninja. I will officially never buy an XBL exclusive at full price now. 3 years in a row and they go on sale or turn up free after a while.
I'm hopeful that the 22nd or 26th will be Forza day, there's a bunch of Motorsports and Horizon DLC that I could be convinced to buy if it were on sale.

I'll buy Trials Evolution, Mark of the Ninja, Plants vs Zombies (I hope at 600 msp each). I hope Crysis price will be cut too.

Oh boy, and here I thought my shopping spree ended with Black Friday.

Going to pick up for sure:
  • Borderlands 2 Season Pass
  • Deadlight
  • Mark of the Ninja

And will wait to see how cheap Walking Dead drops and decide if I want to pounce or not. Also considering Trials Evolution.

Another great sale!

All of the Walking Dead, Mark of the Ninja, and Deadlight for me.

Depends on price, but I'll probably get LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean for my daughter.

Might get the Borderlands 2 season pass, and Dawnguard/Hearthfire as well. Banjoe Kazooie is tempting, since I can't find my disc, but we'll see.

I'll buy Rayman 3 HD if it's 400 points, always wanted to play that.
Why can't beyond good and evil be on sale too :(

BG&E is well worth the price! Actually, Rayman 3, too, is a bit of a bargain considering it's a fuill game.

If Sonic 4 Ep 2 is cheap enough I might bite. I reviewed it, but they only had PC codes left - and I hate PCs for gaming ^^. So for another playthrough I'd definitely prefer a console version. Moreover, I'd prefer a Sonic 4 complete on Disc, but I somehow doubt we're getting that, considering Sega's current stance :/.

What does [ GoD] mean?

Will be looking at Mark of the Ninja, since I'm guessing it won't come to PS3. Hope it's half off or more.
 
Is this US-only or for Europe as well?

If it's also for Europe, then I might pick up Mark of the Ninja and maybe Walking Dead, although I hear the latter is coming out on disc in the US; and hopefully EU as well.

Is Alan Wake: American Nightmare never going on sale?

It's been on sale at least twice on Xbox 360.

The "sale" prices usually suck. Hopefully I'm not disappointed.

Major Nelson (XBL's community manager guy) said he was talking to the marketing department to address the complaints and lukewarm reception to the past few XBLA sales so I'm hoping that actually had some effect. All I really want is half off, which isn't that unreasonable for a Christmas sale considering the stuff Steam and Amazon has done lately.
 
No Spluenky....

:(

but it was already on sale, I bought it on sale not three weeks ago. or maybe less.

this sale is great, I'll definitely be buying the following if they are 50% off.

Fire Pro Wrestling
Jet Set Radio
Fez
HELL YEAH! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
Deadlight
Rock of Ages

and maybe some games on demand titles if they are reduced sufficiently.
 
The Simpsons™ Arcade Game
Fire Pro Wrestling
Jet Set Radio
Fez
Sonic Adventure™ 2
Mark of the Ninja
Deadlight
The Walking Dead Episode 1
The Walking Dead Episode 2
The Walking Dead Episode 3
The Walking Dead Episode 4
The Walking Dead Episode 5
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dawnguard


What I want, damn if the price is right this could be the best sale they've ever done.
