Xbox Ultimate Game Sale (Begins July 7th)

If you are buying from the website I don't think you can do that. It's CC/Paypal or bust.

I paid for Ori this morning using xbox.com, partially using my remaining MS account funds and then paying the remaining balance with my CC. I do have my credit card on file with my Microsoft account, though, so maybe that's a requirement in order for the split payment method to work.

Injustice bought, hopefully this will be Backcompat.
You can use microsoft/xbox credit for XB1 games but not for 360 I think, so splitting payments for Ori would work but Injustice wouldn't.

I tried to do a split payment from the console a week or so ago and couldn't with Paypal. It would only work with a CC. I chose account balance, then it prompted me to select a CC for the rest. It did not have Paypal as an option for paying the rest. I ended up transferring the Paypal balance to my bank and using my debit card.

i've bought Burnout paradise, mirrors edge, gta 4, mass effect, and the orange box all recently on sale for $21 combined. Stuff I wouldn't have bothered to buy again without BC, but are great deals. I don't even know if they're going to cross over for sure.

I bought it. It asked me to split with my credit card after selecting confirm purchase. Thank you all for the help.

Far Cry and Borderlands

1) Either is a really good choice, but I'll toss a coin and go with Far Cry
2) Assuming you like horror, Outlast. Borderlands isn't complete yet, and it's guaranteed to be discounted the same amount or more again by the end of the year.
Those are actually what I kind of had in mind too, thanks!
I like horror games too, you have a point about the Tales not being complete though.
Kind of a tough one there.

Debating on getting $4 Mass Effect for the BC. Im in the preview program, and still haven't had a chance to try a 360 game out

It was never advertised as being anything other than their standard week-long sale. People just assumed, as always.

Advertised as being an 'Ultimate Game Sale' the previous ones have had daily deals.

Man, Terraria is loads of fun. So worth the sale price. Wish more people played on Xbox One.

I never get this kind of games. I have it on 360 and vita, just couldnt get into it.
Well, other than being called, you know, "Ultimate".

Ultimate in this case was referring to a big sale, which is what it was.

Doubled-dipped on digital versions of Mass Effect, Dead Rising 2, and the Assassin's Creed games. Was hoping Rogue would've been on sale too. Hopefully these all make BC.
Was fun to try BC out finally with Mass Effect, although it just makes me want to play 2. Forgot how bad the combat in 1 was.

I would have been happy to pay 30 bucks for it. It is only 15 dollars, just buy it.

Some have, some have not. It's usually only the end of year "Countdown" sales that have daily deals on XBL.
Ultimate =/= daily.
The point is, there was never any indication that there would be new daily deals with this sale. In fact it was pretty clear from the very large original week-long list that there wouldn't be. Not to mention that if there were going to be daily deals, they would have advertised it as "new deals coming every day!" or something similar.

Pretty sure its the full game, except for the last mission..!
For one of the best games of the year, $15 isn't bad at all. Support the small studio that made Ori.
Bought AC:China on a whim and have only played a couple levels. Good fun so far

I really liked ACCC, its a great little game, its literally a 2.5D Assassins Creed I thought it played really well and was lots of fun.

Just got shadow of mordor & legend of korra 
i wish zombie army trilogy was on sale
i wish zombie army trilogy was on sale
Those are the two that I purchased! Both are good yet flawed, but still immensely enjoyable.Just got shadow of mordor & legend of korra

And both are way harder than I was expecting. I'm an Arkham veteran, and even with the combat in Mordor being a 1:1 copy of Arkham's system (at least until you unlock more abilities), I'm getting constantly massacred by swarms of orcs early in the game. Still awesome though.

ohhh snap, i'm in for a good battle then
yeah, i can't wait to play Mordor played korra first. glad its the weekend i can enjoy both games I actually enjoy it, it's worth the $7 love the combat system and the arena game mode is amazing
How do you guys feel about the Borderlands Handsome Collection? I liked BL2 well enough on Vita, but the system limitations made it too much of a pain to play, so I bailed out without completing it (and also never got to co-op due to nobody else having the game).
Is this version stable and smooth enough to warrant a double dip?

You will. Especially if you have never played the others.

How long are these prices good for?
Through the 13th I think.

Started playing and quickly realized that I need to get caught up on the show first lol.
White Night is an _incredible_ game. It has a beautiful, shiny, black/white art style (see the pictures on the store front for yourself to see if you think they're appealing). In motion the game looks beautiful thanks to the lighting engine.
The game is like a mix between a Telltale point-and-clicker and a survival horror. There are definitely survival horror elements - the game is dark and dreary, there are ghosts, there's a huge darkness/shadow element and you're always striking matches for light sources and keeping track of your inventory of matches. If you run out of matches then you will be screwed.
BUT... the game is really soft, so although there's that slight chance of running out of matches, the game gives you more than enough to get by, and if you were doing a second playthrough to get all the collectibles, know that every time you die, any collectibles you have get saved - so you could technically waste some matches searching for a collectible, die, and respawn with your original matches and the collectible still saved.

tl;dr
Some of you are saying Far Cry over Dying light. Do you think far cry is better? Because I didn't really like it and I'm trying to choose between Dying light and State of Decay. :/
So far I've gotten the orange box. I want to get Mass effect 1, 2 and 3 but the option to purchase isn't showing up for me on the Xbox.com store but the option to download the demo is? I really don't want to plug my 360 back in.

I think Far Cry 4 is better than Dying Light.
