MW2 it is!

  That stuck out as the one to get for myself as well.

Ouch, you can get quite a few of those for the same price or cheaper on amazon…

I was hoping for L4D2 to play this weekend!

I was expecting Valve sale….
http://twitter.com/F0REM4N Jay Foreman

Wasn’t expecting much more than this here. Guess Ill grab Black Ops 2 finally,

  it’s $10 cheaper on amazon for a physical copy (unless you really want the digital)

    i bought cod2 for 99cents..crazy how fast games depreciate in value

Keep in mind folks, games like COD4, MW2 and WaW do have modders online. Not a lot is done about them, so let that rest on your mind if you were intending on playing them online.
http://twitter.com/nWo_LIVE Kyle Brunk

Honestly a good portion of these COD games shouldn’t even be for sale be or at the least put a disclaimer for the small amount of people who may not know that those games are pretty badly hacked.

  Yepp i play World at War at least trying to! HELL ppl are flying around and other sh*t impossible to kill and so on:(

    I know right? Makes it ton of fun to shoot someone in the head with 2 full clips, they just stand there, and when your empty they put a cap in ya. Silly hackers ruined the older ones pretty bad.

  is why gaming soon will go down the drain well multiplayer first of and COD not the only hacks halo ,battlefield as well

    Battlefield on consoles has not been or will be ever hacked you imbecile
    - http://www.facebook.com/805.Michael Michael Fortner
      
      Battlefield actualy maintains and does a good job of providing its own servers and support, Call of Duty does not.
      - xboxaus
        
        Battlefield 2 bad company does have hackers go check it out
- StrongBad
  
  If you think the situation on Xbox are out of control with the hacking and cheating, you should see the PC versions… just sayin’
- Hairy hole
  
  Yep, World at War is unplayable, every lobby has several hackers.
- michael
  
  Most of these aren’t even a true sale price. They can be had for cheaper elsewhere.
- http://www.facebook.com/AutomaticOcelot AutomaticOcelot GB
  
  That’s ok, I’m purely interested in the emotionally gripping and timeless single player campaigns. That’s where the hardcore achievements really are. At least through MW2.
  (So that’s what being a shill feels like… *takes long shower*)

Was hoping Black Ops II would have at least been half off
- http://www.facebook.com/neihouma Reynaldo Tong
  
  Or at least $20 like Halo4…
- http://twitter.com/emberrorist Mr. Emberrorist
  
  The Black Ops II offer in germany is really a joke. The usual ridiculous price was 69.99EUR and got lowered by 5EUR to 64.99EUR. That’s still 84.62USD…
Paul o’brien

Cod 2 the xbox 360 launch game is £9, do one.
Joey Kuhn

COD 2 and 3 can be purchased for less than $20 from Gamestop (approximately $13), and I can’t even believe that Modern Warfare 3 is still $60. I will say that the Black Ops 1 and Modern Warfare 2 deals are pretty good, however.
http://twitter.com/anthonygill123 Anthony Gill

Hahaha oh my god, black ops is $2.95 in Australia, such a good deal

  i dont really like cod, and i dont even have gold atm but for that price….
  ms u just got ur self a sale!!

    Yup I’m from NZ and saw the Black Ops price for $2.95. Even though all CoD games are practically the same…. SOLD!

talk about “major” fail these are digital copies not physical ones, give us some real deals before your gamers defect to other platforms.

75% to 85% you said… 17% I have really waiting the occasion for BO II. But seriously, only 17% … ” wanted to let you know that starting February 26, 2013 and running through March 4, 2013, over 60 Xbox 360 Games on Demand titles will be on sale up to 75% off with some as much as 85%”
- Crown_Lager
  
  Key words being “up to”.
- http://www.facebook.com/nettnin Cory Nettnin
  
  “Up to 75% off” would mean anything between 1 and 75%.
http://twitter.com/Michael67137211 Michael Cunningham

I allready have em all, and BLOPS 2 was/is an online nightmare and is the first COD I have thought about getting rid of. And what a waste of microsoft points for the “Revolution” DLC.
Come on Borderlands, daddy needs a new FPS!

When are we getting the fighting games? I’ve gotta know, man, I’ve gotta know!

  Yeah, unfortunately mainly FPS/RPG games it seems. I wish they’d put some sport games on sale
- http://www.facebook.com/HarvetusNS Nick Harvey
  
  This. I want some punching bag stuff. Skullgirls would be great but it’s an arcade game and Microsoft won’t let the creators patch it. SCV would be awesome.

Will this sale go on through out the weekend or is it back on monday? I was hoping for max payne and metal gear for the weekend

Was hoping to get cod 2 cheaper than £8.99, but cod4 for £11.99?….come on

£45 for black ops 2 not even worth £10
http://twitter.com/thomas_hempel Thomas Hempel

Muahaha… I had such high hopes after the last two days but now we’re back to ridiculous:

Black Ops II = 64,99 € in the german store. What gives? Regular retail price in Germany is 45€ by now. I think BO2 was never ever sold for more than 60€ in Germany.

Other prices seem ok, though. For the most part they are more or less the same as retail.

it said “upto 75%”. why cant people read

Microsoft…your idea of a sale is actually laughable. Sony are impressing me more and more lately as they seem to be trying to keep their gamers happy. Microsoft are so disconnected from their customers its annoying. Im fed up with your business model and next gen you wont be getting my money.
- dgallo911
  
  im not sure wat drugs your on but res evil 6 for 9 95 is a pretty good deal. xbox might not have as many sales as Ps ( maybe cause their software doesnt collect as much dust on the store shelves) but when they have a sale they r usually pretty impressive
  - relevance
    
    If you think this has been a good sale then I wonder what you are smoking too lol. No need to be condescending about it. Resi 6 is a huge flop which is why it was cheap…its not even worth that to many of us. Its a shame you have ms goggles on…iv always been loyal to both companies but ms has been left behind IN MY OPINION.
    - http://twitter.com/playmichal playmichal
      
      I agree… PS+ (GoW I – free, wipeout 2048 – free, speeping dogs – free, Quantum conundrum – free, uncharted 3 – Free to Play [multi])
      
      Xbox Live – CoD BO II – 199 PLN (Poland!)
      - relevance
        
        In march…mass effect 3 FREE…Joe Danger 2 FREE…..thats how to entice people. I cant be the only person who is really impressed by the fact that Sony have seemingly cracked the idea that in business you speculate to accumulate. Microsoft continually insult their customers. They give out a free game…and whaddya know…u need kinect for it. Thats about the size of it. Ps plus you get great games free…for £40 a year…and on xbox you get…thats right folks….to PLAY ONLINE.
      - Zachary Miller
        
        Playstation Plus is the reason I got myself a PS3 again, the only thing I think Sony should do is release special edition consoles like Xbox. I’m in U.S., we see nothing other than occasional colors =/

        You are not getting those games free, you simply are renting

        Well you get to rent them at no extra charge as part of Sony’s online subscription, wereas you/we get diddly squat from Microsoft. I think that’s the point he was trying to make!

      Can’t wait for the SteamBox
    - dgallo911
      
      Ya right about MS try to cater to a bigger audience than just gamers etc but thats a arguement for another time. Im just saying these deals have been pretty good. Res Evil 6 still sold over 5 mill copies so id hardly consider that a flop, Code Veronica was $5 and i just got Dishonoured for $29. If i appear biased its probably due to living in Aus where we get royally screwed over gaming, Res 6 (and pretty much every new title) retailed between upon $80 – $100 and that was only a few months ago. I can only comment on the sales by comparing them to the prices here and so far ive been far more impressed with MS’s sales (Xmas ones also) than i have been with Sony’s.

Surprise surprise, BLOPS2 gets a pointless discount…. MS you’ve a lot to learn about SALES
http://twitter.com/LanUnlimited Eric Knight

I’m pretth sure amazon has all these games just as cheap or cheaper new. I’d rather have my disk unless it’s a darn good discount like it should be. No disk, I’m not paying a ton for a small bit of their bandwidth.

Well i sure did call the “pattern”. (H,A,R,and now C) If the pattern continues,i’m going to predict the 3 street fighter’s and tekken’s for Day 5 Sales!

Microsoft disappoints me every week. Why I have hope for them yet?
lethargicj

I wish we could just get a full list of what is going on sale on what day. Don’t need the prices up front, but it would be nice to know when the games I want will be on sale so I’ll be sure to log in and grab them.
Ogidogi

Heheh congratulations, again – another day of disappointment. This is embarrassing, and i don’t know who is responsible for setting that prices. Microsoft should tell at the begginig ” we don’t want to sell games, we are just making a lot of noise”! I’m telling one think – for me that sale is over (in fact, it never started;p), but before it, I had hesitation about buying next generation (xbox or playstation) – and thanks to that ultimate sale, where again i find out microsoft counts only for my cash and i need to pay for everything, when they don’t give me nothing from themself, im sure, i won’t buy next gen xbox. Well done, Nice Job:)

Have a nice day;)
- Getsuga_Tensho
  
  Oh give it a rest only Black Ops 2 is less than 50% off. The daily deals are themed as well so obviously if you don’t like one franchise then the deals aren’t going to appeal to you. No need to get annoyed because MS aren’t specifically tailoring deals you to. Yesterdays offerings were pretty good.
  - Ogidogi
    
    Yep, RE was pretty good, but using name ULTIMATE GAMES SALE obligates to make good offer for each title in sale (or mostly titles) – when games are in DEAL of the Week they are really discounted:) And of course – maybe in your region discounts are nice, in my region they are not satisfying.
    
    P.S. Black Ops 2 is 50% off??? Where u from? Mars? In my region it cost 67$ – GREAT DEAL??
http://www.facebook.com/brett.burback Brett Burback

if 4, 2, and 3 were 4.99 I’d be very tempted. But as far as I’m concerned you can keep your CoD and stick it.
- http://www.facebook.com/brett.burback Brett Burback
  
  I have also had 4 friends download dirt 2, and a few other people who got Resident evils. These people would have never known about the deals unless I told them. I think I deserve another 1% discount off my marketplace purchases.
  - http://www.facebook.com/brett.burback Brett Burback
    
    480 dollars over the last 8 years for something that could and should be free and this is the best you guys can do for me?

      You’ll also get 20 microsoft points on your birthday. If you wait just 3 more years you can get a free avatar hat!

        Is that for the 25k gamerscore club?
      - Barry Csonka
        
        I don’t think so. That gives you a whopping 2% rebate. I think everyone gets the 20 points. I could be wrong though

“Never look a gift horse in the mouth”… seems many XBOX users have never heard of this idiom.
Simon Berry

It would appear that the UK Live site has lost its currency converter and just plucked prices from the sky, was going to get MW2 but not now, will get the disc pre-owned instead. Had high hopes after getting Dirt 2 at such a bargain. Fingers crossed for good pricing on Street Fighter.
xboxaus

why oh why is there still different prices in different country’s ? . why such high prices for games so old so far this sale really has given nothing i seen over on sony there giving there plus members sleeping dogs for free a game that is priced above $60 why can’t you give your customers something better or you just don’t care
http://www.facebook.com/smallwood.dink Dink Smallwood

weak sauce. At least when PSN has a sale I am tempted. These prices stinks. Walmart $ bin games are the only cheap games.

I downloaded Kane and Lynch, Grid, and Assassins Creed 2. Can I have Dead Island now please so I can go on about my business? That’s all I need really. Oh also Dead island is $19.99 right now. If it doesn’t go to $9.99 I’m going to be EXTREMELY PISSED so you know, watch out for that.

Microsoft Points conversion is still wrong. 5$ worths 400MP when 10$
worths 840MP. It is happening outside US, like here in Spain. Maybe that
explains why they don’t fix it? When it affected US first day they
kicked their asses to fix it. I’m exposing this issue from day one and
it seems nobody cares. And like MajorNelson stated day one: this is a
fraggin issue. I’m not gonna pay overprice. I left RE4 go for 840MP when
once it received the DoTW treatment for 800MP. Also conversion is all
messed up: u can find games for 20$ converted to 1680 and 2040 MP, when
it should be 1600MP, period. This is scraewing this promotion

400msp off the BLOPS2 season pass if you are signed up with Xbox Rewards if you didn’t know.

This is why it’s all good deals. I have two 360s, I had black ops on ps3 not on xbox. I can get digital copy in usa for 19.99 but I can download it on both of my 360s. Cant do that with a disc. I did that with rdr since you cant play split screen.

In Ireland prices are following:

COD2: €9.99
COD3: €9.99
COD World at War: €19.99
COD MW2: €19.99
COD Black Ops: €24.99
COD MW3: €29.99
COD Black Ops 2: €64.99

I am sorry but I can’t see any discount here.

  yea for some reason they are charging double or more for certain games in europe. pretty poor stuff tbh.

The DLC should be on sale too.

So it seems all games that will be offered, require no online pass, right?

  Didn’t Assassin’s Creed Revelations have an online pass?
  - http://twitter.com/Rody2k9 Rodrigo DeAraujo
    
    It does, and I got my game new (from a store) last October, and HELL, the online pass didn’t work and the game was brand new! I guess because AC III was like 3 weeks to go until its launch,
Carlos Martinez Sala

Black Ops 2 in USA Market 49.99 US$, in Spain Market 86 US$
Why? This is not an offer in the stores, fisic version cost 75 US$…
This is a scam
http://twitter.com/J0ESK0 J0ESK0

Seriously. How is Black Ops 2 still priced higher then it is on Amazon when its a digital download, which that fact alone should make it cheaper then a physical copy. Whatever.
