    State of Decay: YOSE - $14.98

    • imurgod on 05/07/2016 - 17:45

      Such a great game!

  • COR80 on 05/07/2016 - 06:56

    No $ figures unfortunately, but a list of all the discounted games at Major Nelson to get the ball rolling. The page states "These offers are valid for all Xbox Live members. Please note: prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by region".

    • currentfad on 05/07/2016 - 06:58

      Yep biggest problem is the different pricing (outside of exchange rates) that makes a lot of the big name games horribly priced in the Australian store. And Gold members get extra discount ~ 5-10%.

      • COR80 on 05/07/2016 - 06:59

        I believe so, yes.

      • AngryAlfred on 05/07/2016 - 07:20

        Yep, Shadow of Mordor GOTY $10 USD on US store, $27.48 AUD for us… Won't buy out of protest.

        • currentfad on 05/07/2016 - 07:21

          Haha yep that was the first game I checked and immediately disappointed -_-

        • apoptygma on 05/07/2016 - 08:16

          Just buy it from the US store?

  • Rukiata on 05/07/2016 - 07:04

      Not all game deals are live yet. Officially starts on the 5th US time/date. Sorry for the confusion, have mentioned in the post now :)

  • scuderiarmani on 05/07/2016 - 07:11

    Check around 10ish in the morning. That's usually around the time deals kick in each week.

    Sleeping Dogs was such a great game. Finished it twice!

    • thebargainhunter on 05/07/2016 - 07:31
      +2

      I'd get it for XB1, but it's already in my Steam pile of shame. Worth playing then, huh?

      • Thorax on 05/07/2016 - 07:35
        +8

        I enjoyed it, enough to finish it (which is relatively rare). Sandbox game similar to GTA, but less guns and more martial arts. It's also nice to be able to (properly) drive on the correct side of the road, since it is set in honkers.

        • sleepyowl on 05/07/2016 - 08:15
          +3

          Yep, one of the most unexpected games I've played recently that actually held my attention the entire way through. Great gameplay and story if you like the setting :)

      • HmrW on 05/07/2016 - 08:54
        +4

        another vote for sleeping dogs. and Yes it's such a great game, definately worth it at this price.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2016 - 09:23
        +5

        Yes, Sleeping Dogs was excellent.

        Loved the soundtrack as well.

      • KaTst3R on 05/07/2016 - 11:14

        Sleeping dogs is really good.

  • Mr Lister on 05/07/2016 - 07:19

    How many times is that that Bully Scholarship Edition has gone on sale?

    • meisfred on 05/07/2016 - 11:06

      Not as much as GTA V has

  • Munkeyalan on 05/07/2016 - 07:41
    +1

    From what I can see most titles mentioned in Major Nelson's post are now discounted. The ones I checked are, anyway (Fallout 4, Doom, Dying Light, Life is Strange, Halo 5).

    Probably nothing for me this sale - retail is still cheaper in most cases.

    • funkay on 05/07/2016 - 08:15

      Buy from xbox Russia store during the sale.

      • Cheap Rich Guy on 05/07/2016 - 18:07

        How do their prices compare?

        • pl3x on 05/07/2016 - 18:40
          +1

          Was a bit of a hassle to get it working but got witcher 3 + ori definitive + sleeping dogs definitive + monopoly + fh2 f&f expansion + fh2 furious 7 car pack for ~$47AUD (2500RUB from g2a) which is pretty good.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (GOTY) $19.98
    https://store.xbox.com/en-AU/Xbox-One/Bundle/Dragon-Age-Inqu…

    Considering I'm a new XboxOne owner, I'm also interested in anyone's recommendations for this sale. Musts for me at the moment are Dragon Age and Witcher 3.

    • COR80 on 05/07/2016 - 09:09

      Yeah I'm considering Dragon Age also, but I hated the combat in the first game, and left the sequel alone. Wondering if the combat is still essentially the same in Inquisition.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2016 - 09:28
      +2

      Witcher 3 is the best RPG game I've ever played. The two DLCs are also excellent - self-contained stories that enhance the world.

      I put 140 hours into it. I wanted to play more but I'd finished literally everything.

    • guidedlight on 05/07/2016 - 09:38

      Dragon Age is part of EA Access (although not the GOTY edition). EA Access might actually be better value overall.

      • damnable on 05/07/2016 - 09:40

        I thought about EA access, but Dragon Age is really the only thing on there I want at the moment.

  • King Steuart on 05/07/2016 - 09:04

    No Forza Porsche dlc?

    • pitoui on 09/07/2016 - 17:49

      Waiting on Porshe to drop too.

      To be fair, you didn't post any detail, or give any indication what games might be bargains; this is a lot more useful information.

    • PainToad on 05/07/2016 - 10:36

      posted this deal yesterday but mod deleted it lol

      You can't post "sales" without actually listing any worth while bargains. The rules are clear on that.

  • ozpanda on 05/07/2016 - 09:38

    Star Wars Battlefront worth getting for $25.99?

    • SirFlibbled on 05/07/2016 - 10:04

      I think so although people with the season pass get some nice toys you wont and the season pass has never been on sale. So if you want that, expect to pay another $80 or what ever it is.

      • Duram on 05/07/2016 - 10:24
        +1

        I tried to play this with EA access couldnt even find any games on the XB1.

        • guidedlight on 05/07/2016 - 11:52

          It depends on the mode you pick, as some modes have no players. But it's better now, basically it now asks if you want a 12-player or 40-player match… and just finds one in a few seconds.

        • SirFlibbled on 05/07/2016 - 19:17

          I have never had any problems finding games on XB1.

        • nnolan on 06/07/2016 - 02:35

          @SirFlibbled: really ? i can never find games unless i pick the 40 player or 12 player matches at the start up screen

  • Rukiata on 05/07/2016 - 09:55

    can someone help me? im trying to buy DMC4SE Demon Hunter Bundle but forces me onto the UK website where I cant buy it.

  • SirFlibbled on 05/07/2016 - 09:57

    I wonder if I should grab battleborn. I enjoy Overwatch and at half price it's worth consideration.

    Also yet again, SW Battlefront is on sale but not the overly expensive DLC.

  • Rukiata on 05/07/2016 - 10:12

    nevermind got it. $53.95 to $26.98 damn thats cheap!

  • Nukkels on 05/07/2016 - 10:30

    May I suggest renaming it so Xbox One deals?

  • Kugz on 05/07/2016 - 10:37

    Remember to check other store regions to see if there are any better prices! I bought some Russian credit from G2A and got Life is Strange and Ori and Blind Forest, both for about $10 AUD.

    • ozpanda on 05/07/2016 - 10:46

      Anyone got the list of links to various sites for different countries?

      • funkay on 05/07/2016 - 11:16

        On the xbox store, just change the region at the bottom left corner of the website.

      • Smigit on 05/07/2016 - 11:36

        http://www.digitalgamesprices.com/xboxone.php?android=no

        I use this occasionally. Not sure if it'll reflect the sale price, but should at least work as a way to work out the better deals based on existing prices.

    • yacman on 05/07/2016 - 11:07

      yeah but how does this work if your account is an AU account?

        • yacman on 05/07/2016 - 11:37

          Thanks for the useful info, I thought you had to make a new account, only issue is you can only change your region a certain amount of times or you have to wait a while to change between regions? so if something goes on sale in say Australian store you couldn't change back for say 2 months and you would miss the sale?

        • funkay on 05/07/2016 - 11:43
          +1

          @yacman: I don't think there is a limit to changing regions on your console.
          I just use the website for all my purchases from different regions now anyway http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/games/xbox-one?xr=shellnav

        • Linkwick on 05/07/2016 - 12:08
          +1

          @yacman: For XBOne store(s), you don't have to change your profile's region. You're only adding a 2nd "wallet" for another country's currency (eg. US-USD or Germany-Euro). You can buy from any store as long as you have the ability to pay in that country's store.

          For downloading - if you have your console set to Aus, it'll download anything you buy that's available here (even if you bought the licence from another country). However, if it's something not here, you'll have to change your console to another country that has it (just in the console's settings), initiate the download, then you can change back. (Note: that doesn't count as a region change, you're just tweaking a setting on the console.)
          Most "unavailable" stuff will be country-specific bundles (eg. Forza + DLC car type), but there may be the odd unrated game for us.

          For X360 profiles, the store you can buy from is tied to your profile's country. For that, if you wanted to get to another store you'd have to change region (& with the restrictions you mentioned).

        • yacman on 05/07/2016 - 13:28

          @Linkwick: wow that was super informative and it's actually worth buying from foreign stores then!

          To be clear for example:
          If I wanted something from the canadian store I would look online for a canadian pre-paid card (maybe even the canadian microsoft store)
          Purchase the giftcard
          Redeem the code on my account
          Then just purchase off the canadian website with that credit
          Download on console as normal due to the game being associated with my gamertag/profile?

        • Linkwick on 05/07/2016 - 22:43

          @yacman: Yes, your process is correct. :-)

          I'd personally do "Method 2" from Funkay's link first to create the region(s) payment detail(s) you want. You may be able to create the region's payment on your profile when buying gift cards, but Method 2 would make sure it's done. (You don't have to keep a cr card attached - just use it to create the region's "wallet" then delete it as a payment method.)

          Russia or Brazil are usually pretty good bets for being cheap.

      • Online Bathroomware on 05/07/2016 - 11:17
        1. Switch region on console
        2. Load credit via redeem code
        3. Go to purchase game
        4. Use MS credit to buy

      You can get that title much cheaper on the Russian store ~1800RUB (<$40AUD)

      • Munkeyalan on 05/07/2016 - 22:30

        I'm seeing 2999 on the Russian store for The Following. I might be doing it wrong though..

        • Munkeyalan on 05/07/2016 - 22:41

          @spaghettiman: Yeah I just realised that was the problem. If it's really as simple as buying some credit and then purchasing through the Russian website I really need to give this a try.

        • currentfad on 05/07/2016 - 22:43
          +1

          @Munkeyalan: I did it today. One thing that wasn't outlined in that whirlpool guide was the fact that you need to add a separate credential to purchase in the Russian store. Simply add the credit to the microsoft account, add then your normal Aus credit card with a russian state/zip + phone number for purchases in Russia then you'll be able to use the credit, otherwise it'll keep telling you to add a credit card (even if you have one registered for purchases in Australia.

    This is so frustrating! Ever time I tried to purchase a game, it always gave me a "Your purchase cannot be completed with this payment option. Try a different or new way to pay." error! I have tried 3 different options but no all failed.

    I am a frequent online shopper and it is my first time in my shopping life being so annoyed…

    Deals are good but I do not get change to enjoy them…

    • currentfad on 06/07/2016 - 22:37

      • JaySu on 07/07/2016 - 09:37

        That is the even worse part…I tried several times to open an online chat and it always says "Invalid data. Please check your information"

    • JaySu on 11/07/2016 - 09:23

      After several attempts, I finally got this resolved. It was my account blocked in a certain way so I could not purchase anything. Live chat did not work for me neither so I had to call them to fix both issues.

      Now enjoy playing my FIFA16, great thanks for those whom tried to help in the case!
