I'm not sure. I think it's for 360?
I didn't end up buying 1 month of Gold because they won't let you use Xbucks to buy XBL for some dumb reason. (probably because they can't autosubscribe you that way...) :/

Is it not possible to just add the 360 games with gold to your account from the webstore, like you can with PS+? It keeps trying to charge me for Gotham City Impostors.
Yes, you can. When you have the payment screen, it will be indicated as Free. But your account must be linked with a CC or Paypal account, eventhoug you won't be charged.
A dash through it just means "Not available yet" in the OP. Yeah, we're still getting it.

Ah, that must be the problem, thanks.

Snap Mode for Achievements
- An easier way to track and view your achievements progress in real time without ever
leaving the game. - Search for Achievement Help on any Achievements youre struggling with. This will launch
Internet Explorer for you and deliver relevant tips and strategy content based on the
Achievement you are working on.
- Double-tap the Xbox button on your controller to bring up Snap Center, where you can launch
Achievements or any other snap-able app, without leaving your current experience. - If you already have an app snapped, double-tap quickly switches between your game and the
snapped app.
- Xbox One owners can now choose their preferred Spoken Language in settings to enable better
voice control compatibility. This is in addition to the Country selection used to access the Xbox
store. For example, someone living in the United States who has an Australian accent may now
choose English (Australia) for voice control while still having United States selected for Country location.
- Add the functionality for content publishers to create digital bundle and disc compilation offerings in the future.
- The added ability to Like Game DVR clips and activity feed items from within SmartGlass.
- The Xbox One Console now supports BD-R/BD-RE.
Also, I will update the sales Tuesday night. Busy start to this week has delayed me.
Of course. You get the "payment" popup, but if you look closely, it should say "Free", at least that's what it does for me.

Strikethrough them?

Yes, absolutely. That's the best part about it.
For some reason I had the notion that the game shined more if it was played cooperatively.
Wondering what the next round of sales are going to be like. Today was a bit meh in my opinion.

Agreed, there hasn't been much I've been interested in. Hoping we get a few must-buys over the next couple of days.
The coop and SP have different levels so it's absolutely worth it to play both.

Turns out Magic is only releasing for 360 on the 16th, the X1 version isn't until later in the summer.
wtf. boo!
Sales updated. They have a funny definition of "Ultimate Sale" don't they?
Thanks for the update.

Really? That blows...
Wonder what the reason for the delay is.
Edit:
Actually is there a source on this at all?
This post today about the iPad version releasing doesn't seem to imply any delay for the Xbox One version.

Also new is the Banjo Bundle.

This bundle contains the two classic Banjo games: “Banjo-Kazooie” and “Banjo-Tooie”.

Hmm.
I took it from this post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=120186916&postcount=1534
edit: I noticed that quote you posted says it will launch of those platforms BEGINNING on July 16, so maybe X1 is after that date at some point(?) Not sure where the poster I quoted got that info though so I'm not really sure.

Yes. And the game purposely forces a slow pace so you don't notice. The min you try to go quickly it pops in all over the place.
That sounds dreadful. I think I'll pass then.

I'm waiting for Thief to hit the Gamestop bargain bin later this summer, that's when I'll jump in.
How did I do?
Got some refurbished Astro A40 from Amazon for $130. Need to pickup a chat puck and figure out how to hook them up. Come in a day.
$17 at Gamestop too much for you? Maybe during Black Friday.

Ya, that's not bad, might have to go check that out.

Wow. Awesome deal. I bought my A40s from Amazon refurbished too. No regrets, and they're easy to set up on the XB1.
To be fair I had credit. They are around $156 right now. The A50 is $170. But I think I read the mix and sound is better wired, and no batteries.
I read that you mix the game out and voice up with the puck for best results. Truth?
Amazon says Sunday delivery, so weird. I'll pick up a puck soon and try it out. And by some luck maybe chat will start working on my controller.
Here's hoping the Ultimate sales will bring something good this weekend.
I hit the character limit for a post while trying to update. 24000 characters.

Got my A40s. Holy cables, finaly figured it out and think the cables will work well with my center. The stereo adapter box is going to be handy for keeping cables stored, methinks.
First impressions are they do feel pretty good on the head. I didn't feel the slight pinch my Trittons gave my ears, so hopefully they won't burn after awhile. They do have some weight to them though, but feel balanced. Hopefully that keeps my head and neck from getting sore. The part of the head rail with the padding feels a little flimsy. Is it supposed to wiggle a little bit?
Also, I went to Astros website to check out a patch for the Mixamp and don't see anything since early 2013. I thought there was something to improve the audio with the Xbox One.
Found the update..it's in their blog, and not the support page. What the hell.
AND why does it want to update my controller EVERY time it powers on.
I've updated it already. Okay, so there is a general update. Then when something is plugged into the adapter there is another update. But if something is not plugged in there is no update. Confusing, but now we are ready to go.
I don't see it either. Another license issue with Marvel?
Also, I think expired sales are going to have to go bye-bye.
With all the markup I put in the sales etc, I already hit the 24,000 character limit for a post.
Unless, in future threads I break up the sales into a separate post all together.

Your MixAmp should have shipped with the firmware that supports the Xbox One, but yeah, Astro's organization and distribution of patches confused me too.
As for the headband pad, it does wiggle a bit by design, and it's replaceable.
It needed to be updated, it had the 3xxx fw on it. Also, was it supposed to come with 2 or 3 speakertags? I had film on the mixamp, but not the tags. Looks pretty good, could detect a few finger prints etc. on the box and headset.
I can't tell tell how well it is constructed. It feels pretty good, but at the same time it feels like it needs to be babied.

Mine came with two speaker tags and the MixAmp already updated. I don't really feel like the A40s need to be babied, but I'm not exactly rough on my stuff either.
Two weak points I have noticed are the chat mic and the MS 2.5-to-3.5mm adapter you need to connect the A40s to the MS headset adapter.
That chat mic is bendable, but they seem to wear out quick if you bend them a lot. The 2.5-to-3.5mm adapter is crap and will break if you look at it the wrong way. I replaced it with a nub (rather than a wire), which you can get for a buck or so.

You are not saving anything with this "sale". The season pass always has been $20 and is not on sale.

Wish Magic 2015 was on XB1 today too. I pre-ordered it on STEAM so I'll play it there in the mean time I guess.
