Xbox sale round-up September 3rd, 2024

For those who missed out when it was on Game Pass, Chained Echoes is on sale for the first time!

Escape Academy Season Pass at its lowest price too!

Just played through The Last Campfire. Worth the $6 I spent in 2022 and definitely worth your $1.49 now.

so many games so little time

I will try Necromunda: Hired Gun for less than 10 bucks.

Saw the 360 tomb raider games for sale and i was about to buy them, only to realize Crystal Dynamics increased the price of all the 360 games. Underworld, Legend and Anniversary went from 299 MXN to 479 MXN (a 60% increase) while Lata Croft and the temple of light went from 199 MXN to 359 MXN (an 80% increase).
I know to most of you this seems like a pointless rant, but there is a reason I'm doing this. Here in México, unnaounced, unjustified price surges like this are not only outrageous, but also downright illegal. This is stated in the Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor and enforced by PROFECO, Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor.
I'm gonna send a ticket to Crystal Dynamics to see if they can change back the prices, otherwise I will have to notify PROFECO.

One of the strangest titles Xbox has to offer:

Seduction: A Monk’s Fate

I kinda got to know what it’s like 😏

EarthboundX said:Just an FYI you can find physical copies for about that price on ebay or elsewhere

RestingBear said:Yeah you're right, could have sworn I looked at prices before and they weren't that low yet, thanks for the tip. Think I will still wait a bit to see if it still gets down to around exactly 20 bucks or so. I've noticed some games start to become rare physically on Xbox much faster now, so I've been paying more than I'd like for a few games.

gtbike said:Chained Echoes is a great old school RPG. Highly recommend and not too difficult to 100%, more just time consuming.

Pizza Possum looks fun so I will probably pick that up.

Nice I've been waiting for Forgive Me Father to go back on sale

Elden Ring is on sale, for those worried the game takes any actual skill: every game challenge can simply be over leveled or you can invite a ringer to kill Melania (or Promised Consort Radahn if you play the DLC). Or just respec into a build that ruins them then respec back.

You can also simply turn off all mutiplayer in game settings so you cannot be invaded (nor see bloodstains or other player’s messages). During certain game moments you will be “invaded” but it’s a NPC controlled by the game, so just think mini-boss.

The true joy of Elden Ring is the fantastic feeling of exploration and wonder you feel stumbling into new areas. Don’t miss out on that because you’ve heard the game is hard, it’s really not.

TymanTheLong said:I've always mostly felt the Soulsbornes games are only really hard compared to how easy most games are now. If you grew up with the NES, they are nowhere as hard as some of those BS games could be.

EarthboundX said:Oh yeah there was a reason cheat codes were such a big deal back then😂

Is it just me or is anyone else noticing deals with gamepass ultimate and core are almost all full price games.

Ianpark01 said:It's not just you. Any game and its DLC that's in Gamepass is automatically 10% off. So since these are automated sales lists, it sometimes lists those games that are always 10% off, even though I would say they are technically not actually on sale.

The current sales page mostly just lists all the stuff that's in Gamepass, 50+ pages of things listed as 10% off. It didn't used to be that way though, so TA must have changed something recently. I'm not even sure that Gamepass icon on these sales articles is even correctly applied.

I restarted my xbox the discounts are showing lol
