Xbox 360 Countdown Sale Revealed, Discounts Until January 2nd 2020

xXMalakian XVII said:I bought it the last time it was on sale, 50% off I think. Some people will hold out for 75% off, but the risk is they delist the DLC or take it out of the sale rotation list.

I would buy it, play it, enjoy it (it’s great value even at full price) and move on with your life.

Medicus Piper said:It down from £40/£45 to £7.50, that’s at least 81% off. It is normally on a permanent 37.5% or more discount. Seams reasonable to me for a game of that age.

Just interested in the time from release vs % discount ratio. I have a suspicion Call of duty: World at War must hold the record there?

xXMalakian XVII said:I hear ya. I eventually caved in and bought the TR: Underworld DLC awhile back to finish the game. Overpriced and not worth it. With how often the base games go on sale, you'd think they would put the DLC on sale once. Even if it's a small discount. But nope. Nothing.

Naranek said:Syndicate is 70% off, it says on the page. CoD games are 25-50% off. My point is games this old should be 75% at this point. That still stands whether you think its reasonable or not. I think 75% off is reasonable for games that old.

Medicus Piper said:The games are already discounted for being old ($15, $20 etc.) They don't have to be discounted even further they more or less do periodic sales to compete with the used games market. If physical copy equals cheaper price then get the game that way. They're companies trying to compete and make money.

Cenosis said:I didn't say they have to be, I just think it should be as its more reasonable for a 7+ game. I will most likely get Syndicate on disc one day as its cheaper.

Medicus Piper said:It is cheaper I picked up my copy for four bucks at the time.
It's not half bad actually the gameplay is good, the guns and abilities work well and are fun to use, some of the achievements are fun to get, etc. The story however is pretty dull and definitely a weak point and some of the animations in some of the cutscenes are kinda pathetic. It's worth 5 or 6 bucks, just make sure your expectations are low for it.
Oh yeah and it has a lot of light-bloom/lens-flare effects so be ready for that, lol.

Another year goes by with Lego DLC discounts on XB1 but not 360, I'm going to have to cave and buy them at full price arent I :( I hate your tactics Warner Bros

Naranek said:So is this the lowest price that Syndicate has gone for?

Cenosis said:Doesn't sound very enticing. I prefer games with good stories.

So far I have bought Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2, I Am Alive, and the Dungeon Siege 3 dlc. I am thinking of getting Asura's Wrath as well.

"It's a 360 sale what do you expect?"
Maybe games that are BC that never got a sale like Tenchu Shadow/Assault to go down?
Vanilla Street Fighter IV not to be so high at 10USD?
DLC that has never (or rarely) been on sale to get one?
Like I want to give them money but they make it easy for me to not to.

Guess I was hoping for too much in regards to ME2 DLC.

FireDrake007 said:If you prefer story over gameplay then it will most likely disappoint. I'm pretty much the exact opposite, I'll go along with any whacky or lame story as long as the gameplay is decent.

I decided to also pick up Thunder Wolves later and still debating on whether or not to get Viking as well.

mcnichoj said:Exactly what I said on my first post, but someone disagreed with me :/ how is that not a reasonable thing to ask for?!

FireDrake007 said:It was on sale for 4.99 January 15th this year. I was actually trying to find when LIMBO and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet were last on sale (I picked up other stuff last time ITSP was on sale so I missed out) and I came across it by accident.

Cenosis said:Syndicate seems to be on sale pretty often. I think I will just hold off on that. I have plenty of FPS games to play at the moment.

In fact I am thinking of getting Division 2 on PC since it is on sale for $5 with $10 coupon at the EGS. That is the lowest price for that game I have seen so far for such a new and popular FPS type game that was recently released this year last Feb. 2019.

Limbo is supposed to be good. I have it in my library but haven't had the chance to play it yet though.

Vikings Battle for Asgard looks interesting. I already have it on my backlog on PC though.

Firedrake007 said:Yeah it looks good, I know it's been on sale before but I haven't seen it on sale myself so I guess it's kinda rare. Hopefully I won't be broke when it does come up again.

Viking looks good too but I decided to get The Darkness II instead, I missed out on it in the Shocktober sale by a day or two because I took a week off from gaming and didn't know when the sale was actually ending.

Blue Papyrus said:Last time they went on sale was in mid September I believe. Picked up overlord to finish out the dlc needed back then.

Cenosis said:Limbo for 360 last went on sale in June of 2018. Halfway wonder if we’ll ever see it on sale again. May have a better chance of getting it on sale for the Xbox one if you have it. It is a fantastic platformer game.
