From Reddit. There is a special tag on XB1
I don't have the what's on or holiday sale tab in the UK, but I also don't use my box as a tv tuner, only for twitch and netflix.

I think they're pretty good overall. The deals on MGSV:GZ, TEW, LotF, and Thief are all pretty good for week long deals. Hopefully the dailies deliver the really good deals, but we're not off to a good start with the first one.

I thought there was no digital only Titanfall for 360, that you had to buy the disk and download some extra stuff? When i tried to buy it on black friday I thought that's what I learned, only the XBO has Titanfall as digital only.
But then, it's showing up there in the sales?

There was an announcement recently that they figured out the technical side of it and launched it digitally for 360. So it was true, but isn't anymore.
Exactly. I refuse to do it.

Someone explain Games on Demand to me, what's special about this over just buying games regularly on XBL?

GoD is retail games digital (360)
xbla is arcade games

Grabbed it for $12AU on PS4 a few weeks back. Not much regret. Decent game. It's only $10AU on 360.
I'm praying for Virtua Fighter 5 vanilla to go on sale. Trying to replace most of my 360 discs digitally.

It is included, although you have to do a collection objective to unlock the special missions.

So it's just a term more or less?
So if I buy Vesperia:

That's part of GoD?
Yeah, GoD is retail games that you could buy on disc at one point.
XBLA is generally games that never got a full retail, disc release. They were made to be smaller, downloadable titles.
I say generally because Minecraft was first released to the 360 as an XBLA title but eventually got a full disc-based edition.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Still got a while to 2015, they started earlier this year than previous ones IIRC.

Costume Quest 2?
Not particularly great, but I loved the first so I might give it a shot.

That's it? A few years ago we were getting awesome deals around this time of year.
You can do better than this, MS.

With a limited number of titles, with many already been on sale recently, I am sure that we will get better deals in the coming days.
Even the 360 is pretty poor tho, last years sales were pretty good, though it did used to be only 12 days now it's 15.

*backlog growth intensifies*
Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Titanfall, Gears 2 and 3, Mirrors Edge...God, I can't even remember all of them.
I hope there are still enough players on Titanfall for 360? Still worth 15 bucks?

I really hope they start throwing in more season passes for the daily deals... I'd love to pick up sunset overdrive and far cry 4 passes on the cheap(er). Would also like to see a discount on killer instinct season 2 (not just a complete 1 & 2 bundle)

Here's tomorrow's daily deal...
MX vs ATV Supercross - $20.99 (33% off)
MotoGP 14 - $26.79 (33% off)
Fucking horrible.

I got Magic 2015 yesterday for $5. I think that's a Gold weekly deal though, not a holiday deal

So I thought originally you needed to buy a disk for 360, they couldn't do digital only because with its limited memory you had to stream from both the hard drive and the DVD together to get decent performance, streaming textures in as needed. What changed, out of curiosity? Where is that blog post mentioned above?
