OMG 2K Just put the freaking WWE 2K15 Showcase Season Pass on sale already come on !!!
Ben

Is there any specific reason why “The Jackbox Party Pack” isn’t available in the UK? I want to play Fibbage
- Skeet
  
  I don’t think American realise that we also speak English. I think they just believe that the questions and whatnot aren’t UK friendly. Most of them refer to American things. So it wouldn’t be such a great experience.
- Chris Hofer
  
  I saw a posting on the official YDKJ Facebook page where someone had asked about the UK. The YDKJ folks replied that the game has not been rated by PEGI yet, and it’s required for UK release.
  - Burnt Offering
    
    But for some it just can’t be anything other than evil Americans and their companies who “ignore the rest of the world” and treat everyone who isn’t from the States like second rate customers.
Deddy Storz

…of course the Jackbox goes on sale this week. Just bought it last week…crap
Tico

And nothing of discount for gta on xone
morpheus2n2

Theres also a load of Warframe credits on sale.
- Pickleofwar
  
  Which id advise not to buy
  - IN_YO_FACE_86
    
    Why not?
    - Pickleofwar
      
      Because you can hardly get anything, to make any real progress even on sale you have to spend loads.
      - IN_YO_FACE_86
        
        See I didn’t know that. I play the game every now and then just not enough to make me want to spend money.
  - morpheus2n2
    
    Lol yep but thought I would mention it for the muppets out there that do buy them
Chris Hofer

I will be getting the DLC for Bioshoick Infinite that wasn’t on sale during the Holiday sale and also the Mafia II DLCs. Good deals for me this week. Thanks!

Also, the fact that you can’t self-publish on the 360 is why the Jackbox pack isn’t availabe on that console…but I wish it was. That is all.
- itsjustme
  
  The 4 DLC packs cost almost as much as the Bioshock Infinite season pass, which isn’t on sale. I think I’ll wait.
  
  The Mafia II DLC might be a good deal, though. It isn’t on sale very often.
  - Chris Hofer
    
    The DLCs for Bioshock Infinite were discounted enough during the Holiday sale that I think I figured it was cheaper to buy them individually and wait for sales like this one for the rest of what was included in the Season Pass. Hopefully I calculated correctly and didn’t overspend.
    - Made a profile to comment
      
      you were actually able to get the download going, right? the permalink here and the xbox live page for it are both down. do you think this is because so many people are downloading it and it crashed the server or something?
      - Chris Hofer
        
        Yes, I was able to download DLC for Bioshock Infinite last night. It was going pretty well for a while, but then near around 75% complete, it really slowed down. But, it finished the download just fine.
      - Made a profile to comment
        
        ha, it seems that the site is just phasing in and out. i was able to get burial at sea pt 1. and when i got done with that one i went for part 2 but it did the same thing as when i first tried. it wouldn’t even load the purchase confirmation page. weird stuffs…
http://www.redwoodforest.com This Is A Stick

It’s dejavu with the 360. For a moment, I actually had to look at the date and see that this was the most recent sale. I could have sworn they offered almost the exact same games about a month ago, either as a regular sale, the Black Friday/Cyber Monday, or the 12 days leading to the new year sale.

Oh, I’m still angry Jackbox Party Pack “can’t” be available for the 360. I looooove the Jack game they have, but even after 4 expansions, it’s done.
- Chris Hofer
  
  Couldn’t agree more about YDKJ for the 360. It’s because they can’t self-publish. I even have the very first games that were on CD-Rom.
Anubis316

Wow such great deals this week! Jack bok is such a good party game and using twitch stream you can even play with your friends who don’t own the game! I also just bought never alone because it looks like a game I would like. As for 360, all bioshock stuff is goof if you don’t have it already. Darkness is good, I hear good things about Mafia 2, I personally Love Duke Nukem and it is totally worth the price.
- Lucky13X
  
  Play with friends via Twitch stream? Please go on!
  - Catalyst
    
    Stream the game to your friends, and they can watch and play as well. Pretty straightforward.
  - Anubis316
    
    yea like you use a twitch stream and give your friends the room code
    - Digiadam
      
      Sneaky….
      
      I LOVE IT!!!! You are a genius!
http://Www.mylifewithgaming.wordpress.com/ Mitchell Hall

Borderlands pre sequel 50% off? That seems like a great deal. I don’t know though I’ve been banking on that game coming to xbox one.. I’d much rather play it there where most of my friends play.
- Quaranj
  
  Thye have already stated that they would need to start from scratch almost to port the borderlands 2 engine to the new generation… they didn’t say never, but they did say highly unlikely.
  - http://Www.mylifewithgaming.wordpress.com/ Mitchell Hall
    
    Yeah I recall seeing a borderlands remastered pop up on a website not too long ago then quickly taken down.. it would be very surprising to me actually if they don’t port it. Especially with how well all these remasters have been doing on the new gen consoles. I don’t see how porting borderlands would be any more difficult than the countless other last Gen games that were ported.
    
    Anyway if take2 believes it can make a good profit by doing it you can bet on it happening !
Andres Meza

Should I buy both Xcom: Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within?
I hear that one should buy both versions but then i hear that you should only buy one instead of the other.
- Michael Burden
  
  Enemy Within is the same game as Enemy Unknown plus a new faction. If you can only get one, that is the one to get. But if you want to see how the game is changed, then get both. I am not very far into EW and cannot see the differences yet.
- Foster Brian
  
  enemy within is the same as unknown but with all bonus addons and new classes. so considering they are the same price go with enemy within 10 dollars is a great price
- ImTheMetalLord
  
  Everyone below answered which one to buy but I just wanted to add in that it’s a must buy and at this price for sure. Anything Sid Myer has his hand in is amazing. Firaxis is his company.
  - ImTheMetalLord
    
    Oh and you gotta like turn based game play.
ambuckle

Weak.
- Pickleofwar
  
  How is it “Weak”?
  - ambuckle
    
    XB1 sales suck.
    - Pickleofwar
      
      In your opinion, all you probably want is AAA titles.
      You do realise Never Alone is supposedly an incredible game?
      - GamerResentment
        
        So is Terraria…at least to me.
    - Anubis316
      
      false, I bought 2(jackbox and never alone)
Pickleofwar

Is Remember Me worth a shot?
- Catalyst
  
  For $10 yes. The gameplay is a bit repetitive, but the story is engaging enough.
- Liquidfx Xboxdude
  
  yeah, even though it is digital it is worth $10. $5 would be ideal but that is not the case.
CoD Master

A very great sale! I am gonna be talking about games that I have.
Mafia II, you definately should buy this if you didn’t.
Duke Nukem Forever, a great and very enjoyable to complete.
and
Spec Ops The Line, I bought it from the extended countdown sale, and I just started it and I can say that is very awesome!
- Liquidfx Xboxdude
  
  you actually liked Duke Nukem Forever? the others you mentioned are great but that one is just horrible. lol someone will be mighty upset if they took your word on that one.
  - CoD Master
    
    Yes, I really liked the game and found it very funny.
    - Pickleofwar
      
      I can’t figure out why people find Duke Nukem funny. But whatever, same for other people.
- evilfangs .
  
  Any and all statements about games will here by rendered mute by the fact you think Duke Nukem Forever was a great and enjoyable game to complete.
  - Pickleofwar
    
    Actually spec ops the line is a superb game
    - ringo
      
      actually spec ops the line was mediocre shooter at best. controls were really bad but for 3€ i payed for it was ok.
      - CoD Master
        
        Yes I agree, the controls are very very very awful.
      - Pickleofwar
        
        Its an Above Average shooter with working controls in my opinion.
        What makes Spec ops a superb game is the city of Dubai, Story and characters (also the illusion of choice worked well). Great VA as well.
  - CoD Master
    
    Well, for me me it was.
    - evilfangs .
      
      You don’t exactly help the stereotype that call of duty fans have no idea about games.
      
      How anyone could find that game enjoyable and a great game is crazy. What next, ET the video game was a great game?
      - Some guy
        
        Agreed, there’s nothing wrong in liking DNF, but recommanding it is wrong.
        I liked Sonic 2006 but I’d never recommand it because I know it’s terrible.
      - CoD Master
        
        How about not judging what I like to play?
      - evilfangs .
        
        I would, but you’re recommending one of the worst games to release since ET the video game. You can like the game ( although I don’t understand why ) but to recommend the game to others is crazy.
      - CoD Master
        
        I really liked it, there is no why to this. It was the jokes, the levels, the replayability I got from this game.
      - CoD Master
        
        One of the worst games since ET, you probably you didn’t have played Ride to Hell: Retribution.
  - Hank Hill
    
    I stopped considering his recommendations when he said he couldn’t recommend the Toy Story game enough.
  - Anubis316
    
    DNF was such an underrated game don’t be such a hater
Quaranj

Borderlands 2 – September release, season pass on sale by xmas. Borderlands TPS, October release – no season pass discounts, but discounts that might make the season pass an unworthy purchase in the future if the last 2 dlcs go on sale too when they are out.
Quaranj

In other news, my second 360 to have gone ‘open tray‘ occured this week. My first was 3 days after my refurb from red ring limited warranty was up. You’re going to have to have to have a massive sale on them before I sign up to re-download all the content on 2 accounts again. It took hours last time and i likely have more than double the content now.
- CoD Master
  
  You can always Add anything you want by clicking Edit here on Discus. Sometimes I do the same thing.
- itsjustme
  
  Check with your internet service provider and make sure you don’t have a cap on your data plan. I was charged $20 for going over my limit (I didn’t know I had a limit). I replaced my 360 with the new E Series 500GB system and had to re-download everything. I think some of the data was part of the old billing cycle. Otherwise, I might have been charged more on my recent bill. I have AT&T DSL.
  
  Xbone games are massive downloads. I did a quick search and found out that NBA 2K14 is 43 GB. People are playing games online and watching streaming movies more often. I hate to think what will happen to Internet bills when people are watching TV all day with that upcoming app (I forgot the name).

    you should have saved yourself that trouble by using a transfer cable from old hdd to new hdd
ungeheier

If you havent played ‘Never Alone’ you’re really missing out on one of the top games from last year.
- evilfangs .
  
  What exactly is that game about and how long is the game?
- jeffyg3
  
  Yeah I’ve been wanting to check this game out, and the fact it’s inspired by American Indian culture working closely with them on the game has me wanting to push that buy button. Might just get it with that deal
E.Nich

Good sale. I’ve spent today the same money amount as all the countdown days + week sales together from last christmas (which were very lackluster individually).
- Pickleofwar
  
  The countdown sale was strong
  - E.Nich
    
    I don’t think so. Glad you liked it though, at least you bought more than myself, I guess. The majority were repeated sales for games that were discounted not many time before, so a big part of the people that wanted those games already owned them. There always are exceptions though.
solidheart

Nice sale, Decent deals and a good variety. Well done. More sales like this & less of the one EAsports game on the fast track to the bargain bin.
Digiadam

Purchased Jackbox. Looks like a lot of fun.

Interested in borderlands 2, is it worth trying to find a goty copy rather than buy it and the dlc on sale here?
- Professor Oak
  
  I would recommend goty, or get this, buy/ borrow/ rent a copy of the GotY edition, install disk 2, and return it
  - cortez
    
    i would also recommend that unless Gearbox screws that plan by adding only code vouchers instead of on-disc dlc just like their borderlands 1 goty edition.
    - Professor Oak
      
      He is talking about Borderlands 2, the GotY edition has an on disk dlc. I had the standard copy and borrowed a friend’s disk 2 from the GotY edition and got all the DLC except the Headhunter packs. It has been out for a while
      - cortez
        
        oh… i though he or she was thinking of waiting for the pre-sequel’s goty edition.
cortez

Ha funny i saw a preowned duke nukem for 2 pounds and dark void for a pound during the xmas season and i still said no. but i did get a preowned UFC undisputed 3 for a pound, fuse for 51 pence binary domain for 2.50 and far cry 2 for 2 pounds and didn’t have to lose any memory space.
http://people.ign.com/ltsjoemama ltsJoeMama

Get the Minerva’s Den DLC for Bioshock 2 if any of you haven’t.
It’s one of the greatest single player add-ons ever, imo. $2.49 is WELL worth it.
durp

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix is legendary!! recommend, the last REAL Streetfighter game with fast inputs/frames with 2d sprites, IV sucks so bad, sony can keep V for as long as they like
Digiadam

I purchased Jackbox. Seemed like a good game.
CoD Master

There are many butthrts in here, who flag comments of mine, and @imthemetallord:disqus too.
- ImTheMetalLord
  
  And others. There seems to be some log time commenters on here being targeted.
  - Guest
    
    It’s very likely that Miguel something that you had an argument with.
    - ImTheMetalLord
      
      My thoughts exactly
    - evilfangs .
      
      Takes more than one or two people to flag a comment to get it removed, but yeah, I’ve noticed comments being removed for moderation for some reason.
  - durp
    
    its the gaz fool, al bundy pic, you know the guy who posts his life story every comment
    - ImTheMetalLord
      
      Doubt it since he’s my friend. LOL
      - Gazmaster3D
        
        durp is a troll who was banned here before and is now stalking me.
      - ImTheMetalLord
        
        It’s a sad sad world. Flagging wouldn’t be a big deal if they were monitored more than once every few days. Should be monitored a few times a day IMHO
      - Gazmaster3D
        
        Its just a few morons who use the internet to get their negative emotional kicks.

You said your opinion and I said mine.

This is weird, Remember Me is not in the Marketplace anymore, I don’t if this is only happening to me, but it takes me to a No Page Found :S
- Frogjerky
  
  I’ m getting the same thing. Several of the things listed on here aren’t available…
  - ImTheMetalLord
    
    Yep it’s a known issue.

  swt gotta somehow make HDD room…
  - ImTheMetalLord
    
    I just had room for it and I’m using 2 250 GB HDD and 2 32GB Flash drives and even a 16GB Flash drive. I own way to many digital games. I don’t have all I own downloaded at this time due to space restraints. LOL
FiveMagic5

I am considering The Jackbox, anybody play it and have some review for me?
Mike Robertson

Hmmm XCOM Enemy Within isn’t allowing me to purchase because it says its not available in my region, but I’m in the United States
Guest

What happened to the games? I bought the Bioshocks and Spec Ops from the Hungarian xbox live, yet they are not available there anymore. In fact, none of the 2k games are available… What a great way to sell something… “you can’t buy it there”. And piracy is the cause of everything, right… PC > xbox
- Himihumi
  
  At this moment:
  
  Xbox Live service alert. See details >
  
  Purchase and Content Usage Limited
  Social and Gaming Limited
  
  This might be the cause… But I’m just guessing here… I was able to buy these games earlier, but some descriptions (for example for Bioshock) or some extras (for example for Bioshock 2) are not shown at the moment.
  
  I know some people had problems earlier this day with downloading Witcher 2, which is available to GOLD member free of additional charge.
  
  Let’s hope it’s just a minor problem.
B. G.

Are the links broken for anybody else?
antiDote313

Looks like many of the links above are broken (on X360)?
mauszx

I can’t enter to spec ops the line or duke nukem forever… why?
Gladari

So my partner and I each purchased and downloaded deal of the week with Gold Borderlands The Presequel. We enjoy playing co-op games together, but another download, the Compatibility Pack is required to do so. When we have tried to do this over the past 2 days, we are unable to do so and get a Microsoft server error 800700E8. Yes we have checked our network, emptied our caches, and checked our XBox live connection. What’s up? We need this to be able to play together! Also we were considering the add-ons that are on sale this week, but need to have a usable game before spending more money!! Help!!!
