I had about $20 CAD of promotional credit to use up before the end of the week, and I was trying to decide if I'd see anything better than Halo 5 for $37.50, given that I could afford to wait for Halo 5 to drop further and there might have been something in the Spring sale I was interested in.
Good thing I bought Halo 5.

Lol. Looks like Amazon has had the digital version for $20 recently. This deal isn't as good as I thought it was.
Soul Suspect is ok, it is more of rental since there is zero replay value.

Some amazing deals my wallet hurts

I think it's great, though there is framerate hiccups. It also takes a while to get used to the controls.
It's pretty good if you like space Sims. I got it for $35 a while ago on XBL. One thing is it feels neglected by the devs compared to the PC version which is disappointing, and it doesn't have Horizons yet so no planetary landing.
Still though, I enjoy it. Running into a black hole was a near religious experience lol. Here are some screenshots I took while playing it:

You're right, I should be more positive that it's improving at a surprising pace, it's actually impressive, haha. However, I'm not sure how long it'll take to regulate again (like back in 08)
Having said that, I picked up Primal and it's downloading now.
It has hundreds of hours of content. It's just a shame that gameplay is fucking garbage.
It's bascially the exact opposite of Destiny.
i loved it. It's what I wish The Division was. Spent about 3 months beating the campaign and getting to 50 last summer

Good call, another vote for Toy Story 3. I picked it up a few months back and it is great fun. Seems like it may be a nice "poor man's" Disney Infinity option ... if you are okay with no figures and a singular Toy Story 3 theme. I suppose a similar theory can apply with picking up select LEGO game franchises versus Dimensions. (Full disclosure: I'm not overly familiar with Disney Infinity or LEGO Dimensions).

Was hoping Diablo III would have been cheaper than $30, it's been $30 every single sale for the past two years. Is Batman Arkham Knight worth the $24?
Here's hoping!

The comments about the sales on Twitter are ridiculous. It's like if the game is still more than $9.99, then it's a bad sale.
The next time I get a sales paper for a store, I am going to go there and announce outloud in the store that the sales are bad, and then storm out. I mean, that's basically the attitude on Twitter.
Oh well! I like the sale price on Advanced Warfare. I go between COD titles often, and to own them digitally without having to swap discs is pretty convenient.

Are more games to be added or are we seeing all there is?
Have a few I might pick up, Red Dead is going BC so most likely will snag that.

I like Toy Story better than Disney Infinity. At least, DI2 and DI3.

I just wanted the season pass to go on sale but no such luck.

Easily. I think most of the game's haters were upset by the shitty PC port, but it really is an amazing Batman game. Huge map, great atmosphere, fun challenges

Windows 10 games are supposed to be a part of this sale, is there a list for those yet?

In for Red Dead and Tekken 6.
Would have picked up Halo Wars simply for the convenience of not having to use a disc on my Xb1.

On the fence about Murdered: Soul Suspect. Can anyone give it any positive impressions?
Also, are we going to get any daily deals?

It weird that no one seems to have a solid answer for this question. I'm assuming that means there are no daily deals.
EDIT: no mention on MN blog about checking back for dailies. Likewise he said "Spring Sale starts March 22 – 28 with over 150 game deals up to 40-60% off, and some deals even more than 60%" and I count over 150 games listed. Pack it up folks, no more deals.

if there were daily deals they would've mentioned them so i dont think it's happening
Based on major nelson's post, there do not appear to be any daily deals during for the Spring Sale.

I had a blast with Murdered Soul Suspect. Story is interesting with a great, creepy atmosphere throughout. Voice acting is so-so, story falls apart towards the end a bit. But the "open" area worlds is really well done and I actually enjoyed the interesting collectables hidden around.
BUT! literally a one and done game, no reason to go back. Got 100% of achievements in one playthrough, about 8 hours or so. But I got it under $10 and felt worth the money.
Hope someone can share some advice.
Looking at buying GTAV digitally this week during the Xbox sales.
Do I need this in-game money? The base game is at the price I want to pay, but there is a more expensive that comes with 1.25 million dollars.
Is it easy to get that first million?
Or do I fork over the real world money for GTA money?

No it's completely a cash grab from Rockstar. You are fine just buying the normal game and getting stuff online later.

Cheers, think I'll pick it up
Glad to hear. It's a wonderfully overlooked game. Enjoy!

Meh. Lame sales for me. Oh well, at least my wallet is happy, since the only thing I got is Monkey Island 2 for $2.50

I agree with you I'm seeing nothing that special for me.
