    Think Quantum Break will be delisted, the sale is only up for 2 days.
    It was part of the big sale that started last week that ends in 2 days that was not covered by TA.

    Some pretty good deals, such as 90% off LEGO DC Super-Villains Price
    It was not in that sale, they don't have the same timer. I also checked during the weekend because there was talked on delisting.

    Also it has been confirmed, there is licensing issue

    But you never really know if it will really come back. e.g. MGS collection

    Ah, you are right. I didn’t look at the hours closely enough - it ends a day earlier than the rest of the sales. It certainly looks like delisting could be a possibility.

    Edit: This tweet posted a few minutes ago pretty much guarantees the removal from Game Pass (and possible delisting) will only be temporary:

    Don’t worry Quantum Break will be coming back to Game Pass. It is being temporarily removed due to some licenses that expired that were in the process of being renewed. Will let you know as soon as it is back.

    Got the pool game for £1 laugh
    If you mean Cyber Pool then I feel sorry for you. I played it and found it incredibly frustrating. The physics in the game are not good and you will find your self getting angrier when the balls just slowly keep moving along and making you wait and wait. The completion is still easy enough but just annoying
    Yes I dont expect it to be amazing but I do like the Pool games : )

    I would still get it if you want it, you never know if there will be complication and it will never come back (they are only working on it), MGS collection was delisted for licensing issue and was supposed to come back, but as of now, it never did.

    Certainly a great deal at 80% off.

    I don’t think Aaron would have posted that unless they were certain. I don’t know who made the promise for MGS.

    Man, I have seen bad sales before, but this one is fairly the worst. At least a potential spring sale is coming.
    Imperfection and impurity still infects this galaxy. My crusade was left incomplete... and now I will complete it.

    I have expiring Xbox credit, what should I do?
    Buying something then ask for refund? How does it affect my account for future refunds?
    Didn't even knew it would expire?
    Purchased xbox credit does not, but if its gained thru promotions such as a free gift in an xbox message or redeemed in xbox rewards then it has an expiration, I think it's still 90 days.
    True, I'm aware of it but didn't know that Fortnite stuff couldn't be gifted (is the same for other consumables?)
    You could always buy a game on big discount as a gift (code is emailed to you) then sell the code at cost or trade it via the buy/sell/trade thread in TA forums? I'm sure someone here will be happy to get big sale discount after a sale has ended.

    True but honestly, is there something worthy right now?
    Credit will expire tomorrow...

    Edit: what about Lego games? What are truly worth right now?

    I think the best way to handle expiring credit is to preorder something using that credit and then cancel the preorder. The credit you'll be issued as a refund will have a longer expiry date.

    Nice trick, wouldn't piss Microsoft if it's done too much/on purpose?
    Anyway, I previously had 2 Lego Batman games and today I bought Batman 3 and Supervillains, season passes included.
