Deal of the Week: August 6th, 2013

i get to save money this week

X-Men Origins was pure awesome

How often is deal of the week? I know it's once a week but I would like to know what day it falls on.

I really wish they'd stop pushing GoD so hard lately. Starting to think we'll never see another half price arcade game again.
Although it could be part of their plan to have such unappealing sales recently so that no one spends any of their MSP in order to then screw everyone over when they convert points to money next month. I wouldn't put anything past M$ anymore.

Guys, don't be expecting any good sales for the next four weeks. I probably wouldn't expect any arcade games to go on sale for the next four weeks either. Microsoft is starting the Summer of Arcade this week, and historically, the sales during the Summer of Arcade period are not very good.

The Back to School sale should be around the corner in mid-to-late September, which should see a respite from that.

NASTYSPLITTER said:The Xbox One hard disk is not upgradeable, one of the reasons I will wait for the 1TB version of the console (despite having just purchased AC4). But the American Dream is a Cloudy one full of Streams. In otherwords the hard drive is just a local cache, because you can start playing any of the games and content you own from the Microsoft servers while it streams the rest to the HD cache in the background.

But if the fact that New Zealand was crying out for Minecraft to be released on disc is anything to go by, despite the fact it is only 150MB in size and costs 25% more, then we aren't ready for that brave new world yet. Heck, we still have shops that sell CD's and DVD's here!

A quote from the mail order site I use:
I have Dial up Internet so MineCraft has always been unavailable to me. The only time I get to play it is when a mate comes round with his Xbox, it's my favourite game of all time and I've had an Xbox since '07so I've played a lot of games! The second I saw it for sale on disk I pre-ordered it :) Thanks Mojang for your consideration of your fans.

HolyHa1fDead said:Yes, Xbox One does not come with an upgradable harddrive, but it will allow you to plug in any USB 3.0 external harddrive and store as much data as you want on that (as opposed to the 16GB limit they have on the 360). Probably cheaper for the consumer actually, because the price of the proprietary Xbox 360 HDD has always been higher than a standard external HDD of larger capacity.

Not even November and mickeysoft are back to there old ways. Good thing I can always get a good deal of PS Plus and by that I mean free. No Happy Wars included thankfully. Have fun collecting your happy stars for the next decade.

xPut Name Herex said:32gb actually for the 360. I've got a couple of USB thumb drives that I use to move stuff back and forth. In fact, if one is looking for cheap space for the 360, I'd wait for a Black Friday-type sale and stock up on the things.

So, they're lowering the prices on digital downloads so they can compete with the retailers who sell physical copies. I mean, most these games can be purchased on disc for same prices...some are even cheaper. Good luck M$. You gave some great prices during the Ultimate Game Sale but this is weak. You get no money from me this week.

Rayman Origins is only £8.99 this week as well.

That's cheaper than I can find a boxed version anywhere, new or second-hand.

Did like that GR:FS went for £11.99. That was pretty nice.

Enough with the GoD sales already! Where are the DLC and XBLA sales?

12 pound for wolverine, Seems expensive. Great game though.

This is good!

Another week I can save my Money!

I thought Xmen: Destiny copies and data were supposed to be destroyed per the outcome of the lawsuit between SK and Epic?

Bummer, bunch of games here that I wouldn't mind playing (Wolverine, Dimensions, etc.), but not at those prices.
