Xbox sale round-up: January 18th, 2022

Kinda can't say no to TimeSplitters 2 for $2.49

I see Jet Set Radio is $2.99.

I am considering the Amnesia Collection for $4.49.

Chernobylite is now 20% off and $23.99 now, WTF is this?

XI AlphaMale IX said:For any of you that got your online achievements for "Burnout: Revenge" AFTER the servers were turned off... but then restored a few days later... you're welcome! Back when I had a direct number to their offices at EA, I called them and explained that a LOT of people were still playing the game, and that they needed to put the servers back up, until it really drops-off. The guy I spoke to said he would pass my message along (which was more detailed than I just stated), and a few days later - the servers were back online. I arranged a boosting session with my friends and we knocked-out the remaining online achievements!

The funny thing was... they never changed the shutdown server list on the EA website, to reflect that Burnout Revenge was no longer offline. It stayed that way for a LONG TIME... before they finally announced it was going to be shutdown (again). I don't know if the offline server list shows the original date it was "supposed to be" shutdown anymore, but it was well-before the date TA shows it went offline!

Now... if I could just get the "Battlefield 2: Modern Combat" servers restored (or "Chromehounds", while I'm at it)!!

...Chernobylite is 20 instead off the 50% it was...well; i guess i am skipping it for now...

YATVAN3 said:Came to say same thing..saw the £12.49 price but went to buy and its £19.99, i'll do the same and wait [

YATVAN3 said:...so, i was going for it but got to save money (15euro seemed a good deal, maybe checking out the trial first?)...
...on a side note: there are some interesting deals for sure...Zombie Army triology, Strange Brigade + dlc, Beholder, Amnesia and Layers of Fear 2...ohh and mini ninja`s although i am quiet sure i played it before but it is not listed in my games oddly...

atryeu1 said:Yeah there's some glitch with Bloodforge, I've been using the sales tab to filter for Hack & Slash games for months and Bloodforge has been on "sale" the entire time.

I think I'm missing something here. Battlestations Midway is listed in the sale list. If I go to it it's not sold separately. Xbox doesn't find it either. Do other regions have the same issue?

Mikasz said:What region are you trying?

ChewieOnIce said:Europe, Poland to be precise. The game is listed in euro so I should be looking at the correct one.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to report the bug, I'm just trying to buy the game that I thought was delisted.

Mikasz said:It doesn’t seem to be available in Poland. If it was available at one time then it’s delisted now.

Site takes the prices that are in Euro from the Irish store. That is what you are seeing so it doesn’t mean that the game is available on all countries that use Euro as their currency. For instance in Finland where i am located it is available.

Joonas said:Thanks. I know euro is not the best indicator of games availability (we don't even have euro as our currency), it seemed odd though that it would be unavailable here out of the blue.

I guess it follows Dragon Age II and Oblivion DLC that we just can't buy without a small 'trip' to other stores. With that in mind I've just grabbed the game from US, case closed.

Glad I picked up Chernobylite before it went up in price. Something happened with that game that I never had happen before though. I dowloaded the game (12GB or so) and when I went to start it, it was stuck on the splash screen for 10 min. Closed out and started it again, and was told do DL a 6GB patch. DL'ed that and the game started up just fine. I've never had to DL a game and then a patch separately on the XB1 before (You always DL the latest patched version). Only thing I can think is the patch was made available as I was DLing it.

Kinda ticked the tow Timesplitters games are XB1 only. I always prefer to "purchase" them on the 360, then DL them on the One. Not a biggie, but personal preference. For 2.50 each I'll still but them though.

Just a note on first templar there is an achievement to complete a level with 5 different people so if anyone is trying to complete this I would def suggest getting it BC then you can use the account trick with 2 Xboxes to double box over and over. A few of us on TA did this game last spring before it was BC and it was a huge pain tracking down 5 other people with this game to play a level with you. On top of that you need to play through the entire game with someone else and the achievement only unlocks for the host.

Has anyone played The Last Stand: Aftermath yet? It's been on my radar for a while and the sale on it is pretty good so thinking of buying.

10 new (for me) games and only spent $25.60 (in MS points)

MSBYTES said:YES, I finally got Panzer Dragoon Orta. I think it was on sale before but this time I got it. Unfortunately Gauntlet Seven Sorrows did not go on sale. That's the second OG Xbox game I want digitally.
