Oh wait, when I click on it, it redirects to the old store and doesn't show the full game there.
Yeah thought so, though I do hope they try and re-license some of the older Forza games some day. (Probably will never happen but a man can dream)
It's strange because I saw it on the console last night, browsing the Xbox 360 catalogue. It showed "buy a copy" there as well, while other games that aren't available for purchase like Mass Effect 2-3 show "not available to purchase".
Interesting....
A bit of a tangent, but do you think they'll try release a highly requested BC game this week to coincide with the sale?
No because the sales go live before BC games do and they seem to want to keep the surprise until 5PM.

They special attacks on the dragon weapons (drake sword, ultra Greatsword and great axe) still don't work for me. They fire off at weird angles and are inconsistent as hell. Other than that it runs just as it did on 360. Blighttown and New Londo are shoddy still

Depends on what goes on sale. There was a major giveaway with Black Ops 2 last time.
Yeah I think that's what I had remembered.

Think we will see some new titles drop in honor of the huge sale tomorrow?
Ninja Gaiden 2. It must be the day.

My 360 died while playing divinity 2, and I actually enjoyed the game. Would love to see it still on the One

Does Microsoft know that the Dead Space 2 Collector's Edition is still completely broken, or should I tweet at Mike Ybarra or something?

Now that they are done with Nioh I totally expect that. I think we will get a Ninja Gaiden Black sigma Redux announcement, same for NG2.
of course you can. You can even still download the digital version if you own it.
We know from previous games with rights complications that delisting has no effect on being able to play the physical games (which always involves a digital download) or codes you can still find to purchase at retail. And anyone with a digital purchase can obviously re-download games they own. It's just new, from-the-marketplace purchases that are effected.
Thankfully, not a ton to worry about, even if it's a bummer when something like music ends up being the hold-up.

Still waiting for Radiant Silvergun, come on MS! To the hardcore fanbase that's a pretty big 'exclusive' you got sitting there not BC. >_<

It's a separate disc with Quake 4, it's possible but that disc will be hard to find.

How is Earthworm Jim HD on BC? Loved that came back in the day.
Just took a very brief look at it, but based on that it seems to run like it did on the 360 (60fps at least in the opening area). Not sure if there's input lag or it was the same originally, but selecting a menu happens ever so slightly after you press up/down on the d-pad (and it's not the tv).
Still feels like a terrible game IMO, especially with how the collision of the platforms don't line up with the graphics.
Unfortunately not.

I can't even get it to use my PayPal on the xbox website (dunno if that's because it's an australian account and I now live in England or just MS BS). Card only.

I brought Quake 4 back and for a refund waaaaay back when.
I also kept the Quake 2 disc because I'm a scumbag. Need to find it now..

I got my disc hunting for unused 48 hour gold trial cards in preowned games in Blockbuster. Didn't even need to buy Quake 4 and the disc is still in my games wallet.
Please announce NOTHING today becuse it won't be included in the sale or if games are we've just spent a lot of money on games today.
I actually want nothing today.

You don't mean that
Destiny would be good as it's on sale and I'm kinda interested in going back to pre-RoI even if I know the game was worse.
I'd have to grind too much though and I hated playing through the story once, can't imagine doing it again honestly, but it would still be cool from Activision

That sounds like some quirk about your setup. I grabbed all mine using PP over the browser.

Yeah, I have a U.K. PayPal as well but I've yet to try this with MS.

I lived off a stack of about 60 2 month trial cards we took from new game cases in shops here. I didn't pay for live for years..
Burnout Revenue and Ninja Gaiden II would be nice today please

Betting it'll be nothing due to the free Phantom Dust re-release today.
I heard that you can, but only in an actual Xbox 360, not on an Xbox One or on the web store. I have not been able to confirm this, since I don't have on any more.
