I really cant understand game on demand,
with such high price, it is always cheaper to buy it on the web or used game shops.
and you can even sell it back after you finished!

at least, the DLC are on sales.

It says they’re doing a Countdown to 2013, which is usually their holiday sale. They usually run it for a couple of weeks with a new deal each day. Nothing specific for Christmas.

Fatal Inertia is one of the best racer, and putting it at that price is great too, had to buy it for 20$ because of how rare it is. (Well, in my town anyway)

Now if they could cut the price on Bladestorm…

i am going to say no because they are selling the dlcs along with the game. they usually do not have gold editions on GoD. the price is now 14.99. no gold though. you might just wanna buy from amazon. no tax

i doubt it. because the GoD versions of bad company 2 didnt even have an online pass.if you paid 70euro for the GoD version you still had to pay the 1200msp to play online.

i would imagine all the GoD games are the most very basic version possible like buying a second hand game without codes or manual.

It’s not the gold edition, but it’s down to $20 in the US, and the Modern DLC that comes with the Gold Edition is down to $7.50 (and that’s the only DLC that comes with the gold edition from what I can tell), so even buying the items separately, it (surprisingly, for GoD) ends up being cheaper than the $30 on Amazon for the Gold Edition.

And all of the GoD games will be far more expensive than buying retail.

Given that THQ are currently giving away Metro 2033 on Steam as part of their promo for Last Light and the pretty amazing value offered by their Humble Bundle (1 day left, for anyone interested), it would have been interesting to see what kind of offers might have been in store here if they complete control over their pricing on XBLA.

I totally agree with chico edge. There has been alot of “deals” that arent very good or worth getting. DLC packs of games i dont think people even play anymore. Put stuff on sale that would would love to get and download. I personaliy love to see some of the dlc packs for transformers fall of cybertron on sale along with more forza 4 stuff and just things that go with games that people even play.

I have given up on MS, though i do come by to see what they have on sale for curiosity’s sake. I pretty much buy all my games on Steam or on other services that give me Steam codes. I wonder what MS will do if the Steam box launches? If Valve can make a low priced gaming box that allows me to play all my steam games, looks as good as a next gen box, can play all my games from Steam sales, and you can continue to buy cheaply as I do now, that will go along way to get others to jump on board. With MS barely having exclusives anymore, what would be the reason to stay with Xbox as my main console? Xbox might become like the Wii in the future, a 2nd console rather than primary, used for party games and kinect like games.

These sales are usually such a travesty and a joke, they have this great back catalog of games, yet the prices are hardly ever decent compared to buying on the PC. MS is a stubborn company, they shoved Windows 8’s metro interface and people prefer Windows 7 and a start menu, and they continue to shove a dashboard that people dont love, and give us meager deals and sales, even at the end of the consoles life. I know MS can get away with it for now, but they may pay for this behavior and attitude in the future.

I’m sick of voting positively to those kind of comments. Basically cause it’s all true. Sadly, I have the same amount of arcades he got but three times the retail titles he own, so shame on me for supporting such company.

My live gold expires on january… I was about to renew it but I will do depending on how those sales are. Wich is also sad, to rely on the last 12 days of the year to get something really exciting.

I only have an Xbox and a not so great laptop, so I can’t really go anywhere else. But I absolutely agree with you. And I think what you need to do is exactly what you said. Don’t renew your gold membership and go somewhere else. I love my Xbox, I use it to play games with my friends who live far away, and it’s allowed me to maintain that connection with them long after we graduated high school. If the Steam box is as good as it says, I will see if I can’t convince my friend to go with that, because I know how awesome Steam really is. It’s sales are always incredible.

But I also love the Indie Games on the Xbox. I think until we get confirmation that the next Xbox will continue to support Indie Games in a similar (And better) fashion than the current system, I’m going to assume that their silence to the indie game dev community on the subject is their way of saying “No” without actually saying no. There’s a lot of hopeful developers working on projects for the Xbox, and I’m sure they’d all love to know, at the very least, that they can look to the next Xbox system for continued support.

Really, if Microsoft doesn’t want to support indie developers, that’s totally okay. Steam will have a decent game console out, and I’m sure the multitude of indie devs out there will flock to a company who would just LOVE to support them. This really is a telling indication of where things may be heading for MS. But maybe not. We’ll see.

Here, I’ll do it for free:
1. Games on Demand should be CHEAPER than their RETAIL counterpart, yes, that does mean you need to reduce them a little faster than what you’re used to. Anything older than 2008 should be $5-$10, anything from 2008-2010 should be under $15, anything from 2010-2011 should be under $20.

2. Arcade games should drop with age, similar to above. If I can get a good (slightly older) retail for cheaper than an old arcade game, something is wrong. Anything older than 2008 should be like $2, anything older then 2010 should be like $5. Price DLC similarly.

3. Now that you’ve permanently reduced the old stuff, only the stuff within the last year or two needs to go on sale and, contrary to popular belief, it only needs to go on sale ONCE or TWICE. What about those who miss out? Well, they can just wait for the permanent discounts.

There, done.

Wow, you sick, sad people. Tropico 4 is an awesome game. Why all the hate because Microsoft chooses to put the game and all it’s DLC on sale for one week (out of 52)?

True, not everyone owns a copy of Tropico 4, but you do not have to be a rocket scientist to know that is partially the point of a sale – if everyone owned it, there would be little point of putting it on sale to begin with, as everyone would just continue to buy at at non-sale prices (witness, Minecraft).

In the meantime, for those of us who actually used this sale as a chance to try a game we would have been completely overlooked without a sale, we are actually finding out that Tropico 4 is a pretty awesome game. No, it is not Call of Halocraft, but every game that comes along does not have to be, in order for it to be fun and deserve even 15 seconds in the spotlight..
