Definitely enjoying the new layout for Sales.

EDIT: Oh yeah the sales have been pretty bad recently, maybe they are saving the big ones for half year or 4th of July?What you talkin' bout, Willis? EA has nothing to do with Gears of War: Judgment. Rather, being a GoW fan, I'll say that Gears of War: Judgment has nothing to do with EA.

Two things for anyone considering the EA games that're on sale:

1) EA Access will be free June 12-22, 2016

2) In regards to NBA Live '16, the "We Are LIVE" achievement is no longer obtainable.

TRON/r is not on sale in Denmark, Sweden or UK (according to comments) looking like a US deal only - I assume this was known since the price is only shown in USD. Would be nice to get some info on region limits somehow.

Feedback on design: Just show the prices in UK currency with link to the store for people to go check their own price. With time, they can make a good guess of UK currency compared to their own.

There's absolutely no reason to have the discount row be that wide, and the Title needing more space. However I can image this isn't feasible unless some code tweaking happens.

Please add Canadian prices, there are quite a few games that have different prices in Canada compared to US, and now it'll be much easier by use of tables.

JeDiMlnDTrlcks said:Interesting that you mention this. In some cases, prices are different, but others it's dollar for dollar (CAD to USD). I understand that most of the time this is decided by the publisher, which could account for the regional pricing.

On a side note, I check storeparser.com, as they track all changes on xbox.com for 360 and XB1, including price drops, sales, and increases. And now they've added CAD pricing too.

Nice clean Sales layout Chewie!

Can I suggest loosing the "/" between the prices and just use 4 rows for the 4 different currencies?

I just picked up the deluxe pack for TRON. Everything else is kinda... meh.

As a side note, it looks the link to the xbox marketplace for the deluxe version links to a bundle of just the base game. Not sure how that's a bundle, heh.

Looks great! The only feedback I have would be to make the Title column wider, reducing the Discount column to the minimum necessary width for those values. It'd be a better use of space and would make it easier to skim through the list. The old list was only a couple lines per title, but the wrapping in the Title column makes it a lot longer for some.

Yeah this is was I was getting it, the widths, but I do understand the positives for having several regional prices. Danish kroner is not part of it, but we have to stop somewhere, right. I usually go from GBP prices.

I do not enjoy this new layout whatsoever

I am one of the people who really disslike the new design. Old one MUCH better.
