Support NeoGAF

[Liamc723]

So at what time do we expect this to go up?

In 2 days time.

Games sale starts 22nd March.

 

[jond76]

Halo 5 is now showing $30. May have to bite.

 

[Icedburden]

Halo 5 is now showing $30. May have to bite.

It's been $30 all week for HWC.

 

[Akai__]

I'm hoping that Halo Wars is part of this sale. I never played it on 360 but now that it's BC I'd like to give it a try before the sequel, and the current price of $20 is a bit much for a 7 year old game.

It runs really well on BC and it happens to be a really good console RTS. Hope it goes on a sale or it's featured as a GWG title soon for you guys.

Also, now that I got back to it, the CGI cutscenes already look like they could be real time. Graphics have gone a long way.

Sunset Overdrive please + season pass please.

I'd love to play that finally. The game also had a NeoGAF shoutout, right?

Its funny how you 2 label me as a Sony fanboy lol.

Sorry but I have to disagree. 95% of the time MS does a sale, it has the same titles that were on sale previously with the same publisher sales week in and week out. It's always a 2k, EA, Activision or Ubisoft sale. Their sales always lack variety.

Of course I'm looking for Xbox games, your reply makes no sense. My point is that MS sales always have the same titles while a bunch of other titles just linger around without ever being put on sale or have been discounted. It's almost alaways the same crap week in and week out. At least with Sony they mix it up, no matter how old the games are.

As you can clearly see, people are really annoyed by these comments. It adds 0% to the conversation to drop a comment like: "The competition has better deals." Nobody cares, if they do or do you see PC people dropping into all these threads and say stuff like: "Steam has way better deals!!!" What is the point of that?

 

[dreamcastmaster]

I wouldn't mind getting some XBLA games on the cheap.

That's the one thing that gets ignored. There are so many titles that never get discounted but it's always the same digital versions of dic games that show up in sales. As an Xbox 360 owner it's Rockstar, deep silver, Warner, EA, Namco titles every time.

 

[brokenbeans]

Wait, the games aren't on sale till Tuesday?

 

[GravyButt]

Wait, the games aren't on sale till Tuesday?

I believe so. Think the games start Tuesday and that $50 console reduction was today. Thats how I read it at least.

 

[guitarguy316]

Too bad there's no indication of $10 gears ultimate on digital. Guess I'm off to a store

 

[Juanfp]

I am waiting for them to finally put the Sunset Overdrive season pass on sale.

 

[Akai__]

Wait, the games aren't on sale till Tuesday?

That's weird, because I read it as today:

 

[Chris1]

That's weird, because I read it as today:

The Spring sale does start today (xbox ones for $350). The digital sales don't begin till 22nd.

Dodgy wording but tbh I thought it was weird that it was supposed to start on Sunday, when has a digital sale ever started on Sunday.

 

[ilikesanta]

Wait, the games aren't on sale till Tuesday?

Disk Deals starts today: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/spring-sale/video-game-sales
Microsoft store Deals can be found here
And digital starts on the 22nd and a tab (i would thing) will pop on here

 

[sujay]

Anyone know how long the $299 xbox deals might last? I'm waiting to see how Quantum Break reviews, it might end up being my system seller. Will the deal last long enough for the review embargo to break? Thinking about picking up the bundle for $299 from Amazon.

Somebody recently said the embargo would be up well before launch, so you may not have to wait long.

Embargo is up April 1st according to Shinobi, MS have been promoting the bundles for QB as part of the special offer so I think you will have plenty of time to make that decision

 

[Haines]

75% off forza 6 seems amazing but being Canadian I imagine not such a good deal in the end

 

[Varg]

Do the Xbox ones still have that glossy part on the system or did they go with a matte finish like the newer ps4s? Looking into buying one sometime this week

 

[Cth]

I can't get best buy to do the price drop because they gave a free gift card with the bundle.

Any chance Microsoft would somehow be able to help. I'm guessing not?

 

[Ryan242004]

75% off forza 6 seems amazing but being Canadian I imagine not such a good deal in the end

Forza 6 isn't one of the games that's 75% off as far as I can tell, it's $20 off

 

[Karspankey]

Matte, just bought one last month.

 

[RavenHawk]

Forza 6 isn't one of the games that's 75% off as far as I can tell, it's $20 off

Something tells me that they goofed up the banner, because when you click the link, there aren't any games right now at 75%, let alone the ones that they mentioned.

Edit: Gears of War UE is listed at $9.99 (75% off MSRP), but you have to manually search for it. The other 3 games listed are discounted $20.

 

[Ryan242004]

Something tells me that they goofed up the banner, because when you click the link, there aren't any games right now at 75%, let alone the ones that they mentioned.

Yeah I was confused, I didn't see any either.

 

[RedToad64]

Luara Croft Go is going to be free on the Windows Store? Cool.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Is the Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra pack on sale until Tuesday, or is it on sale through the entire Spring Sale?

 

[blakep267]

Sunset Overdrive please + season pass please.

Yup. I already beat it but I haven't done the season pass stuff yet

Also I need Oxenfree for a good price. Maybe rebel Galaxy

 

[louiedog]

Luara Croft Go is going to be free on the Windows Store? Cool.

That'd be cool, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

"Download popular Windows titles free" doesn't necessarily mean the games represented next to that text will all be included. Microsoft's language sometimes leans toward making sales sound more enticing than they are.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Is the Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra pack on sale until Tuesday, or is it on sale through the entire Spring Sale?

Until Tuesday as far as I'm aware.

 

[GravyButt]

Shocked we don't have the list yet

 

[dancrane212]

After beating the Evil Within last weekend it sure would be nice for the season pass to go on sale again.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Shocked we don't have the list yet

Usually goes live in about two-ish hours but I don't think Major Nelson will post the official list until tomorrow morning.

 

[jbug617]

Shocked we don't have the list yet

It will leak out tonight. Sale officially begins on the 22nd.

 

[Feltrol]

Is hoping for a BO3 Season Pass discount considered crazy?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Sale starts tomorrow, but they hype it as starting on the 20th.

What...

 

[Kill3r7]

Sale starts tomorrow, but they hype it as starting on the 20th.

What...

The sale started yesterday at your local Microsoft Store. The Xbox store sale will start tonight.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Console and disc deals at Microsoft Store started on the 20th. Digital stuff starts the 22nd.

I feel they really should and could have done a better job conveying this.

[Chris1]

how did you get it so fast? storeparser hasn't updated for me

Recommend Witcher 3 (+ expansion pass), ROTR from that list not much else...

Sleeping Dogs for $7.50 isn't bad if you haven't played it.

 

[Bessy67]

snip

Well nothing for me on X1. Hopefully there'll be some good 360 deals.

 

[jbug617]

That's not the full lists apparently

Batman Arkham Knight is $23.99

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I see quite a few games with discounts below 40 per cent...

 

[Chris1]

I see quite a few games with discounts below 40 per cent...

"up to" 40-60% off

Cmon miles.. you know better than this, when has MS ever been clear on anything? They'd probably cause confusion responding to a question asking their company name.

 

[louiedog]

I see quite a few games with discounts below 40 per cent...

"up to 40%-60%" means free accounts get discounts up to 40% and gold members get them up to 60%. It's not discounts between 40% and 60%.

This confusion comes up many times during every sale because the wording is initially not very clear.

Cmon miles.. you know better than this, when has MS ever been clear on anything? They'd probably cause confusion responding to a question asking their company name.

Sneaky little shits.

I was hoping for 40 per cent off Far Cry Primal...

 

[Nephtes]

Crossing fingers for some heavily discounted Rise of the Tomb Raidier...
Something to hold me over till Dark Souls 3 (because SFV is still broken and not doing the trick)...

 

[Chris1]

up to 40-60% is for silver, gold get an extra 10% (so up to 70%) I think

Not that they are following those rules anyways, I see two games at 75% off.

 

[bman94]

Forza 6 isn't quite the right price for me to jump in yet.

 

[Thetinman]

Was hoping for wasteland 2 for about 15-20 but so far nothing for me
