Why is Catherine not on sale in Europe?

When you first look at it, the 360 deals look pretty decent, but they are just the same games on sale that have been on sale all year. It's boring seeing the same games on sale.

Proposed correction: Far Cry 4 (360) is showing as $11.99 as opposed to $15.99 in the Marketplace.

I was hoping they will drastically reduced the price for Gears 3 season pass. Was once again disappointed ...

Lot of 360 games, too bad this month was dedicated to buy the Xbox One S. Maybe I grab Prey with the leftover money on my account.

It's worse if you are in Japan or Germany, as none of these are on sale either:
Call of Duty Classic (DE)
Borderlands (JP)
Just Cause 2 (JP)
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (JP)
Sleeping Dogs (DE)
Sleeping Dogs (JP)
The sales are run out of the US, and they often forget there are other regions.

Assuming you are not Canadian (because the TA sale prices are in US$ and AU$), I think you are looking at the price in CA$. Try changing xbox.com to US.

If you are Canadian, then you should be looking at the Sales Hub where we have the Canadian (and German) prices, but not NZ$

That's a real steal then, because the $CA are rarely ever less than the $US. Most times they are equivalent enough, and I don't have to go searching. Also thanks for the tip on the Sales Hub which I did not know existed. (How do I navigate to it from the homepage?)
I'm noting however the Sales Hub is not as complete as the XBL Sales Roundup, as it does not include bundles (Black Ops III 360), DLC (Gears 360), nor Season Pass' (Assassins 360). Is there a way to see those sale prices, combined with the games, in $CA on TA, or do I have to go to xbox?

Go to Xbox Sales from the Main Menu drop down. It's also linked on the right in sale articles. I don't know of any plans to add bundles and Season Passes as those items aren't tracked by the site. Also I'd be out of a job

Think with the new release of Mafia 3, it's time for me to finally pick up Mafia 2. Might pick up Catherine and Sleeping Dogs as well.

Lol you are going to hate me as I found the complete edition of AC3 a few months ago for 1.99 CDN, brand new at a local EB games, with the seasons pass card unscratched, and I traded in my PS3 copy of that game for 3$
Thats a great discount! I also tried to get a hand on the complete edition but its very expensive in my country and the DLC codes have expired here even if you find an untouched version. So I hope you can redeem them. Ubisoft customer support won't help here in Germany. Amazon comments of this item are full of complaints and rants about that because its still advertised as "with MP and Story DLCs included". So this was not an option for me.

Just one more Chewie

Forza horizon 2 VIP pass should be at 75% reduction instead of 50%

Wouldn't it be nice if we could filter this DLC list for games one owns, or even hide my games? :)

Just my 2 cents

YES! Finally an assassins creed dlc sale! I've been waiting for so long. Now if only the rest would go on sale.

Of fucking course they can put the Season Pass for Far Cry 4 on sale...on the 360. But put it on sale for the One? Apparently, it's nigh on impossible to divorce the season pass from the base game.
Really is a troubling trend.
Ask me about my rock collection.

It's even more annoying when you look at the complete editions of some sales. Last week, Far Cry 4 was $20 and the 'Gold Edition' was $24 dollars. That's $4 for a $30 season pass... if you don't own the game. Hell buying the Gold Edition was cheaper than buying JUST the season pass.

Edit; Coincidentally it is currently $15 on Amazon. Not too crazy if you only want the Yeti DLC for the achievements, but it's something.

I said to hell with it last week and bought the Gold edition, even though I just bought the disc version of the base game. I figure it was acceptable as it means I can install the base game from the disc, saving myself a shit load of time for downloading (only have a 5Mb connection), but then can play w/o the disc in the drive.

another shit week of the same ole same ole sales. Disappointing is an under statement. 360 got a great sale and we got nothing, Star wars battlefront again, how many times has this appeared to date?

Nothing for me this week too.
I also like XBLA sales more, becuase I prefer physical and seldom buy games on demand.

Stop complaining about Season Passes on sale for X360 and not One. :-D

I think it's the first time Far Cry 4 SP is on sale for X360.

Also the Watch Dogs SP is not discounted in Europe.
