Hell Yes!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:40 AM
Now these are deals!! Did anyone else have trouble downloading games?? I bought R* table tennis but it just stops downloadingThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:41 AM
UK Prices: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - £8.99 Forza Horizon - £11.99 Left 4 Dead 2 - £8.99 The Orange Box - £4.49 Crysis 3 £14.99Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:42 AM
forza horizon is $14.99 BUT when go onto xbox site for uk its £11.99 which if you convert dollar to pound should be £9.83 how come uk again is being ripped off even worse hungry only pay 600mspThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:43 AM
Forza Horizon at this price is a must buy !Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:43 AM
Those are some nice deals but then again in uk they are still more expensive even if it's by 2 or 3 pounds :p(at least that's the case with crysis 3 or my eyes are having fun with meThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:44 AM
The Orange Box is awesome! Everyone who doesn't have this... get it. At $4.99 (or whatever it will cost in your area)... it's a steal! Maybe this sale-price will get new players into Team Fortress 2!!!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:46 AM
Can't complain with these deals but I'm a sucker who still likes my disc copy so that I can re-sell/trade.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:50 AM
@2 I've bought 3 games (Assassins Creed 3, Hasbro Family Game Night 3, Crysis) during this campaign and had no trouble at all with downloading them. OT: Tempted by Forza Horizon out of today's deals :DThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:50 AM
Torn between Forza and The WitcherThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:51 AM
@7 - You should warn people before buying it that there will probably never be a sequel... ;-)Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:53 AM
wo wo wo these deals are whack forza horizan ill have some of that! gotta load the points and get the deals means im gonna have to cut down on the jellied eals. Bitchs wonna play some left for dead 2? hook me up ill boost you through. Sales are for winners like chicken dinners Xbitchs, Rep:resenting DJWbThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:55 AM
I fancy getting L4D2 again, really enjoyed it until a mate "lost" my copy a few years ago Witcher 2 seems interesting but I was gonna get Divinity 2 instead because I only have time in my life for one "long haul" RPGThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:56 AM
Nice to see some good sales. Saying that, there hasn't been anything of interest to me yet, I already have most of the games and those I don't have is because I don't want them. Hoping for a good price on XCOM.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:57 AM
It's still showing the deals for the 3rd but already showing The Orange Box for $4.99......both deal days at once!?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:59 AM
Again, the Hungarian prices are simply awesome. Bought the Orange Box and L4D2 today. Keep them coming, MS!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:01 AM
Crysis is 160 MSP, as is Orange Box at 160 MSP on hungarian marketplace. If you get the 800 MSP online code from amazon.com , you can put it into a hungarian account, and then buy orange box, crysis, and lego batman 2 for a total of 720 MSP. YOU WILL NEVER find a better deal than that.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:09 AM
If you want to make the most $$ publishers this is how you get rid of second hand sales you price digital copies cheaper then the disk. Not saying they have to be crazy low but a good $5-$10 cheaper. Most of the games on the store are $15-$20 more then in retail stores. I've bought more digital games in the past 3 days then the last 7 years on xbox. Got Left 4 Dead, Orange Box and Witcher 2. TOMMORROW should be BioShock: Infinite Tomb Raider Gears of War Judgement Hitman: Absolution X:Com Enemy Unknown Staying away from $20 games though I can wait for disk price to drop that low and buy it then. Running low on $ but definitely getting XCOM and Tomb Raider if its priced at $10Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:13 AM
Does it have to be an amazon code for points and for 800 to add to a Hungarian account or can you get them from game too?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:16 AM
Want to get Witcher but it's cheaper in the US.. so unfair. I know it stacks but does it work if I download to a PAL box?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:16 AM
No, it HAS to be amazon.com code. GAME codes will NOT work, neither will amazon.co.uk code, as they are not online codes.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:21 AM
I tried using code from Gamesbites and their codes won't work with Hungarian account. Bit of a pain but worth it for the Hungarian deals. Got Crysis and Mass Effect so far, but doubt I'll be able to buy any more now.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:24 AM
I got a code from shopto and that worked perfectly.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:29 AM
All of a sudden Xbox.com is making me buy in £ I live in the US And haven't done a thing to change my region. Wtf?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:36 AM
Just a heads up guys, the supersoldier achievements in crysis 3 have glitched for many peopleThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:40 AM
I created a Hungarian account, added my points, and get "This item isn't available from your current location" Why????Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:45 AM
Been trying to get The Orange Box on the cheap on eBay lately but falling short, absolute perfect timing this for me!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:54 AM
Set up a Hungarian account yesterday and got 800msp from game for £6.99 and have purchased Lego Batman 2, Crysis & The Orange Box for 720msp! You need to get at least 800msp, 400msp will not workThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:00 AM
"forza horizon is $14.99 BUT when go onto xbox site for uk its £11.99 which if you convert dollar to pound should be £9.83 how come uk again is being ripped off..." You forgot to add VAT @ 20%. You can't convert US prices to UK directly - US list prices never include tax. £9.83 + VAT is £11.80. You could say therefore that we're being ripped off by 19 pence, but to be fair, most retailers will round up to the nearest 99p. Therefore, including tax and a tiny bit of rounding up, £11.99 is correct.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:01 AM
I can't access my live account to buy anything, and when I sign in on Xbox.com when I try to make a purchase it come up with an "uh oh....." Message. Such a useless service and another reason why I'm not buying a bone, and nor will I be getting a ps4 before I start getting people crying Sony fanboy at me. I'm just a very disappointed Microsoft customerThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:08 AM
#14: "Hoping for a good price on XCOM." This is the main reason I've been keeping an eye on this sale, desperate to get it. Of course, that hasn't stopped my buying Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 3 and Left 4 Dead 2 so far...oops.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:09 AM
@30 My account was having trouble during the swap over day times, just be patient and log in later. @12 unbelievable douche, that was atrocious, really... On topic I bought BIA HH and Bulletstorm so far and if I hadn't already played The Witcher 2 I'd be getting that, top game.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:16 AM
Take Crysis 3 / forza Horizon people!!! It's a threat!!!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:45 AM
If #18 is right then looks like i'll finally purchase a game from the sale tomorrow. Definitely getting chapter 6 of the walking dead too.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:46 AM
Should I get crysis 3 or should I wait and hope to see if tomb raider goes on sale.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:58 AM
Personally I found Crysis 3 extremely boring; couldn't bother finishing it.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:04 AM
To be honest, I would much rather have badass deals like this for arcade games or DLC. Because whether or not these full games are at a good price, I still prefer the physical game.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:05 AM
In the UK, can't buy Witcher 2 on xbox.com... keeps saying "This offer is not valid in your region" Might have to wait until I get home...Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:09 AM
So far i got far cry , and prey, which i owned before, but for this price i thought may as well get them back. Also picked up Divinity 2, some borderlands 2 content, monopoly, and max payne 3. and had to order a 320 gb hdd cause my 250 one is loaded now. gotta get Xcom if the price is right, maybe tomb raider. I also prefered the physical game, but comparing the prices, and what i would get back for them second hand, i would mostly make the same loss as buying them on demand for these low prices.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:16 AM
@38 - Try using this link. It should take you to The Witcher 2 on the GB Xbox.com site: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/The-Witcher-2/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024e4d0855Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:26 AM
Nothing for me today but anyone who hasn't got the orange box needs to sort their shit out!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:38 AM
Looks like I'm gonna have to go town for the 2nd time this week for Ms points. Already bought borderlands 2 & now I'm gonna get forza horizon & orange box again. These are the sale Ms should be doing more regularly.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:58 AM
i just got a Hungarian account and went though the marketplace Alice Madness Returns 960 MSP Burnout Revenge 960 MSP Call of Juarez 640 MSP CoJ The Cartel 600 MSP de Blob 2 640 MSP DR2 Off the Record 960 MSP Deadly Premonition 960 MSP Eat Lead 600 MSP Enslaved 920 MSP Fable The Journey 920 MSP FUEL 600 MSP Ghostbusters 640 MSP Gray Matter 960 MSP Hitman HD Pack 1520 MSP Kinect Joy Ride 960 MSP Mirrors Edge 960 MSP Open Season 600 MSP Onechanbara 600 MSP Shadows of the Damned 960 MSP WWE All Stars 920 MSP Your Shape 600 MSP Your Shape 2012 1200 MSPThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 07:13 AM
Is Microsoft casting socio-economic aspersions on the Hungarians?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 07:17 AM
How is Perfect Dark Zero still $15?! The way the prices are now a days is complete crap. How are games that came out 2 years ago still more expensive than games that came out at X-mas 2012?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 07:38 AM
@45 you see back then games were made to be enjoyed, its very hard to come by a game that feels just right from the off. Im glad to see no one is comparing this ms sale to Sony otherwise we'd have a war on. Great games and prices even though it seems to be cheaper in Hungary I wonder if it is an error or something either way a great sale of new and oldgamesThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 07:50 AM
Fuck. . . . Returning my copy of Left 4 Dead 2.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 08:45 AM
Got FC3 and Borderlands 2 yesterday, now just waitig for XcomThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 08:47 AM
Orange Box for $5 = SOLD :DThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 08:50 AM
just to confirm if you have set up a hungarian account and you are from the uk you can buy your points from game, they do work but make sure it is 800 or more points. if you have not yet done it and want to than follow these steps. Step 1: Create a Hungarian Microsoft account Sign up for a Hungarian Hotmail account (@hotmail.hu) via: https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=64855&mkt=hu-hu&lic=1 Be sure to select location as Hungary If you do this in Chrome you can automatically translate the page into English Step 2: Create a Hungarian Xbox Live account via https://live.xbox.com/hu-HU using your Hungarian hotmail account. Again be sure to select location as Hungary. Step 3: Using a Debit card to purchase games will not work so you need to buy some Microsoft Points, MINIMUM 800 points card from online retailer or instore. You can get some cheap points here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/cheap-xbox-ps3-psn-points-subs-xbox360-ps3-psv-instant-delivery-1499627 Step 4: Download your new account to your Xbox via your Hotmail.hu login details and add the MS Points, it will ask for more details for your billing address, you can simply put whatever you want e.g "Name" "Street" "City" "12345" and "01999 999999" as it does not verify them. Step 5: Search for/locate games that are on offer via the dashboard (or the Xbox Live Web marketplace if you prefer) while logged in as your Hungarian account and opt to pay via Microsoft points by pressing X on the purchase screen. Step 6: Download and Enjoy 16/3 -Note: 400 MS point codes will not work for some reason. 800 or more is required. if you use google chrome it should translate the website for you.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:07 AM
These are great sales anybody on the fence with the witcher 2 go for it huge game, branching storyline and rewarding combat. im glad forza horizon came down it was €69.99 now €14.99 or 1240 points so theres a bargainThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:07 AM
I don't buy digital games if a physical copy is available but I think I might pick up The Orange Box and see all the hubbub about Half Life 2.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:20 AM
Hungarian account is awsome XD 800MSP for Witcher 2 and Left for Dead 2. To bad i cant download FarCry Instinct.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:27 AM
WOW! I'm surprised that there are actually GOOD deals on games with this sale compared to past sales, Microsoft must really want to keep there customers after all the bad feed back of the Xbox One original revel.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:32 AM
#50 cant you just create a live account and put your location as hungray. i did it that way and can see the sales on hungray marketplace. will i have problem getting the witcher for 400 because i didnt do the hotmail email or will i be okay?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:37 AM
@52 I feel the same way. If you don't mind paying $20.00 (U.S.) for a new copy on disc (or $34.99 for a used copy from GameStop - can you believe that?!)... you can do that, but when it is at a giveaway price in digital format... how can you pass that up? I wanted to get "Monopoly Streets" on disc... but you either can't find it anywhere, or if you do... it's 20 bucks used, or 30 bucks new. I relented and bought the GoD version yesterday for only $9.99! I would prefer it on disc, but now I can just launch the game and not need to fetch the disc and stick it in the 360!! Sometimes... price beats the want to have it on disc. Besides... if I ever find (Monopoly Streets) used on disc for under $10.00 - complete, and in mint condition - I can always pick it up (assuming EA hasn't turned-off the servers by then, and rendered the game useless for online play)!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:11 AM
@52... The fuss is more about Team Fotress 2 and Portal than Half Life 2 :D Anyway 3 games for $5 is OK by me.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:36 AM
Damn I am really torn between forza horizon or waiting for the most wanted DLC :/Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:42 AM
OK so far I have bought:Borderlands 2 + 3 dlc's,Mass Effect,Brothers in Arms-its years since I played a decent WWII shooter,The Orange Box-finally got around to buying this and at a steal!Also Prey-for £2.69,worth a punt and the demo was ok if a bit dated. The question is how good is Forza Horizons-I am not very good with racing/rally simulated driving games but do a lot better with more arcade,street race-NFS,Burnout and I did enjoy Forza 3 so would people recommend it for me?? I am not cyber-savvy enough to do the whole Hungarian account thing but these prices are good enough anyways.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:43 AM
australias deals are all messed up, crysis 3 is $30 forza horizon is $20 and witcher 2 isnt even availableThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:48 AM
The biggest problem with this sale is I'm running out of hard drive spaceThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:51 AM
Are people absolutely sure you won't be banned for setting up hungarian account?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:53 AM
@59 forza horizon is great. Its not simulation completly and it matches with NFS series but in my opinion Horizon is better, the fuuny thing is the game is on sale, but its DLC have never been smh.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 10:55 AM
I worked all day yesterday and missed some great deals. Shame.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:02 AM
Why does the UK have to pay more than America for Crysis? We UK players are getting ripped off.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:11 AM
How much can i expect these game to be? BioShock: Infinite Tomb Raider Hitman: Absolution X:Com Enemy Unknown I just bought Forza Horizon so i'm gonna have to hop on down to Gamestop to get more points,wanted to see if i can find out how much i will need.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:21 AM
I never played the original Witcher, is Witcher 2 as good as everyone says!? @66, Hitman will maybe be $10 because on Amazon it's $15 NEW. Tomb Raider might be $15, Bioshock might be $20, and X-COM might be $20.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:46 AM
@67 The Witcher 2 is an amazing game. Beautiful graphics, amazing story and pretty good combat. The only thing that disappointed me was that it wasn't open world(the best example I can think of is skyrim, the way that you can go anywhere whenever you want to and that sort of thing). Other than that, this game is a steal for $10.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:53 AM
@68, yeah from the videos I've seen, it's a little upsetting that it's not open-world and I'm still trying to figure out if I'd enjoy the combat. But at $10, I think I'm going to buy it. Thanks for the response, man.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:58 AM
If you don't have orange box I recommend it.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 12:37 PM
I never knew that full games not arcades you had to pay absolutely with a credit card or paypal I though you could pay with ms points :( damn no buying anything then it would seem only had the money in points :(Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 12:40 PM
@71 You can select buy and then there's an option to switch to Microsoft points.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 12:56 PM
It's weird that Steam chose this moment to have another sale on L4D2. As if to try and one-up MS. Just a heads-up, its £3.74 over there. Not being one of those 'steam-elitists' douche bags, just giving a heads-up in case people would rather have that version.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 01:12 PM
Amazing, super duper awesome deal for Orange Box. God is that game worth it! Awesome deals for Witcher 2 and the rest!Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 01:26 PM
It says Region does not match console for the hungarian account. Won't let me download. What should i do?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 01:44 PM
Cool, I've been meaning to pick up The Witcher 2 for a while now.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 01:46 PM
"This games region does not match the console"Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 01:49 PM
#43 aww no fair they have deadly premonitoin in hungary on demand? Ive been waiting for that foreverThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 02:07 PM
anyone having issus? i cant seem to buy L4D2 but i can buy The Witcher 2.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 02:34 PM
I am also having issues with L4D2. It's still showing as $30, but the other games are on sale.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 02:40 PM
How was that brothers in arms game?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 02:43 PM
L4D2 is now £20.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 02:49 PM
L4D2 is showing as $9.99 on the splash page, and $29.99 when I go to purchase it.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:42 PM
@54 the past Ultimate Game Sale was as awesome as this, maybe this is a tiny more bit awesome. And the past one wasn't there because of the XBONE fiasco.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 03:48 PM
@81 I personally really enjoyed it and it's very much worth five bucks. Its more of a shooter that requires a bit of patience, taking cover, and being precise to take out your enemies opposed to a run and gun. I liked it more than I expected I would and I bought it for about $30 years ago. Solid 7.5-8 game that's worth your time.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:06 PM
left 4 dead 2: $9.99 on the dashboard *click on it* left 4 dead 2: $29.99 WTF?!?!?!?!?!?? ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEMThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:42 PM
Yes, It still says $9.99 but is $29.99 when you click on it Sucks because this is the one I was waiting forThursday, July 04, 2013 @ 04:53 PM
Pity L4D2 is 19.99 on the uk marketplace, I was away to buy it for 8.99Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:26 PM
I wanted to buy LFD2 for 9.99 what happend?Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 05:31 PM
The July 2nd sale is still on (at least in the U.S.)! I looked at Monopoly Streets, and the price is STILL $9.99... so I'll be telling a few more friends who might have missed it.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 06:45 PM
Tomorrow's deals are up already in the US. Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance- 2400 MSP($30) Hitman Absolution- 800 MSP($10) Bioshock Infinite- 3200 MSP($40) Tomb Raider- 1600 MSP($20) Gears Of War:Judgment- 2400 MSP($30) XCOM Enemy Unknown- 1600 MSP($20)Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 09:04 PM
#55 i guess if you can see the prices, than i suppose you should be fine but i just did it the way other people said, im not 100% on it so it would be up to you wether you try it or not. it doesnt take long to set up the hotmail account.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:27 PM
That Hungarian marketplace is awesome. Made an account, bought 2100 download points from ShopTo also and they worked. At the price I paid (£16.85) for the points I got The Orange Box, Crysis & Bulletstorm for 480MSP which works out as £3.85 for all of them. And unlike when I bought something from the UK marketplace I can download and play them from where I live. (Thailand) Recommend the hungarian account highly.Thursday, July 04, 2013 @ 11:36 PM
Hoping for X-COM to be $10.Friday, July 05, 2013 @ 12:01 AM
Everyone is very pissed about the deals for tomorrow and i could'nt agree more. You can get bioshock infinite anywhere now for 30,40 bucks on disc and tomb raider also for 29.99. Not even sure if metal gear solid rising even has a big enough fan base for it to be so expensive either and gears? What an insult to even place the game's original price at 60 when it was 40 a few days ago then say here, 50% off. Complete bull. I finished my buying with forza.. Also this is the reason i cosider switching to sony sometimes. Not because they are the better console but because i get tired of microsoft's shit. They really do love fucking us over and even when they give free games and sales they still manage to tell us consumers, fuck you.Friday, July 05, 2013 @ 12:12 AM
Xcom is 20. I'd rather own it on disc for 30. As i said they are a joke. That is not a deal. Forza horizon for $15 was a deal. it costs 45in gamestop.So was max payne and borderlands2 for $10. Though max payne costs 16 used borderlands2 costs no less than 30 bucks so to steal it at 10 is a no brainer and if you got the hungarian account you got it for 5 bucks. I say again that's a deal.Friday, July 05, 2013 @ 12:17 AM
Yeah only getting Hitman from the new sales, even though I could get it used for an extra 5 bucks but no store nearby even has used copies in stock so.Friday, July 05, 2013 @ 01:27 AM
I have 400 points left and i don't know which game to get. Bullet Storm Crysis Dragon Age Origins(played a bit before when i borrowed it.) Suggestions plzFriday, July 05, 2013 @ 02:29 AM
@98 Bulletstorm, great game, I really enjoyed it.Friday, July 05, 2013 @ 02:33 AM
Well, nothing in today's offer for me then, already got Hitman/Xcom, and not spending that much on a digital copy of BioShock, even on the Hungarian MP it's over £20. I could get Tomb Raider for a under a tenner on the Czech MP, but that's another account to create and hoops to jump through, with points left unspent at the end *sigh*.
