Might as well get the digital version of Burnout Paradise at that price.
I'd get Fuse too but the exchange rate is all wrong.
£6.24 in the UK, should be cheaper than that.

Yeah I was going to take a punt at Fuse as well, but even though it is still cheap, I refuse to be ripped off by MS's idea of exchange rates (almost $10)

FTFY. Publishers set prices. Blame them for not reducing the base price in ever region.

Has anyone played the old Tomb Raider games? I recently finished the 2013 reboot and am kinda curious about the franchise.

The season pass for Bioshock Infinite is a good deal. I have it from when the game was on GWG.

Get Anniversary. It's pretty good, but very different from 2013...

It's traditional TR.

Yeah Anniversary, aside from some glitchy controls, is definitely the best out of the three (more games need developer commentary!!!!) . Although I do have a soft spot for Underwold, the art style and graphics really do hold up (that Thailand level is down right beautiful) and the horror elements were a nice addition, only problem was the repetitive nature of the last few levels and the overuse of that blue!! DLC is worth a look at as well, it takes the game mechanics from the main game and completly changes how you use them. Tomb Raider Legends has always been the best example of how Tomb Raider was heading in the Uncharted route before Uncharted actually existed, more action focused than Tomb Raider had been before, definitely taking inspiration from the Tomb Raider films.

For $5 a piece, I would say they are worth it.

Enslaved is going in my backlog, would've bought Horizon but it's 15€ and racing is not my genre

Will think about the JRPGs, I dont like the genre but I like good games.

My first response: Awesome! Enslaved is finally on sale! I need to buy it and play its DLC.

Then: Shit, why isn't the DLC on sale?

Damn it

I love the game, but I missed its DLC and that's been on my mind.

I dislike it very much when the sales don't cross platforms. I'd probably pick up the season pass for The Evil Within if it was on One.

Can we start having some sort of notation if a game that is on sale for the XBox 360 is backwards compatible on the XBox One? I don't know if it would be better to just post it in the XBox One deals thread or simply add a notation on this thread's weekly deals post but I would definitely look more into purchasing a 360 game if I knew it was BC on the XBone. If this is already happening and I have just somehow missed it then ignore this post and thanks!

This sale is much better than their "ultimate" sale lol. Grabbed everything but Noire from R*, plus a ton of games from Namco. Very good deals and hopefully BC in the future.

How can the standard price of the Gears 3 season pass be higher than the game itself? I mean, don't DLCs get permanent price cuts at all? Because if not, then fuck the digital only future.

They almost never cut DLC prices, which is a shame.

GoW3 SP has been on sale for lower though, I think I payed like 7€ for it months ago.

I absolutely do not get, why some content NEVER goes on sale. How about the South Central addon of MCLA or Soul Calibur IV?! It's always the main game only or the fifth part of the series respectively.

As apparently the only person who liked his (rental) experience with Ace Combat AH, I approve of this sale! Also plan to pick up Galaga DX, I thought the demo for that was much better than the first XBLA release.
