    You are not alone. All those Lego games for the 360 for $5 a pop is a super deal. Hopefully these Lego deals come back around soon.
    Gimme the loot

    deadly premonition's dying enemies is hilarious "Noooooooooooo don't want to die" in such a corny voiceover
    My God promised me "hope and change" over 2000 years ago, how is your god working out?

    I'll probably pick up a LEGO games on X1 to play with my daughters, a 5$ one will do.
    Welcome to TA, where stats are made up and some achievements do not matter.

    Don't get why the game of the year edition of Shadow Of Mordor is 10 pound cheaper than the normal version.

    Thanks EA/DICE for the free DLCs!!
    I wonder if that's a sign the servers will be shutting down soon...?!

    When does BioWare discount their DLCs? I'd love to get those for dragon age but 45 euro for the 3 DLC more than double of the price (retail copy) I paid of the main game.

    I think you have the wrong price on the LEGO Batman 3 bundle for xbox one. Shows $14.00 for me.

    I got all the Batman games and season pass for the 360. I am thinking about getting a bunch of Lego games and was wondering if they are worth to pick up. I know $5 is a steal but I do not like wasting my time playing games I do not enjoy.

    I bought a whole bunch of them back a few months ago for the 360 when they were on sale. If i had an American account i would definitely buy the ones for the Xbox One, but i have UK account so it's nowhere near as cheap.
    Just change your region on the One and you can buy them from the US marketplace.
    Easy to do. If you are going to do that, change it to Canada as it is even cheaper than the US most of the time. We even have all the Canadian sale prices listed for you on TA :)

    It's the same every week, people from Australia and UK complaining about goods costing more than they do in the US. I suggest you don't compare petrol prices or you may never drive your car again. Just be thankful you pay less than those in New Zealand and Europe.

    MSP was great, but they got rid of that, so just accept there is something called a Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. So unless you expect to see the prices of games going up and down on a daily basis, you are stuck with regional pricing.

    Won't that cause region issues with the 360 and One games i have bought from the UK marketplace though ? For example, would i still be able to play my 360 games i bought digitally on my 360 console ?

    Yes, easily. No risk. See comments above yours.

    No, the games on the One aren't region locked so it matters not which store you purchased them through to play them. You don't even have to change you Xbox region as suggested above. Just change region on Xbox.com, get a US$ currency card, buy the games and they'll appear in the download queue. You only need to change the Xbox region if the game isn't sold on your regions marketplace. And that's just so it will appear in the ready to download queue. Once it's downloaded you can switch back and play with no issues.

    I'd like to do this, but my worry is Microsoft will view as financial gain and ban me

    I don't work for Microsoft, so cannot say for sure. However, why would Microsoft design my account so I can maintain seperate currency balances for different regions if they didn't want me to spend money in regions other than my own? My New Zealand account has balances in AUD, USD, CAD and GBP.

    Since the unified Microsoft store replaced the Xbox One marketplace, I have been unable to use PayPal in regions that don't match the PayPal account region, on transactions that require approval. For example a transaction of $4.50 was pre-approved and went through fine and they charged my PayPal account. But I was unable to buy something else that cost $5. Gift cards still work perfectly.

    I get what your saying, I swapped region for Ben-Hur. I was concerned because I'd be getting something very cheap in comparison and after all these years I'd be distraught if in trying to say ££ I was banned and lost everything. There's games that are only on us store id like to buy too, that arent released in the uk store. It's a dilemma for me
