Cheers! that's all the recommendation I need, will go ahead and buy it now.

Shred

Picked up Trials Evo & Peggle Nights, 1000msp for both. I really must get around to The Walking Dead especially now that all 5 parts are out.

Mr E

The Walking Dead is on sale next Friday, so hold off for a few days if you want to pick it up at a discount. I'm hoping its 1000msp for the 5 (50% discount).

Shred

Cheers for the heads up, will hold off so. In the meantime EP1 is free on IOS atm.

I have it at 800 but that source is not exactly gospel, either way it was worth full price but anywhere from 800-1500 is a bargain imo.

Tinie

Isn't episode 1 going to be free today (xmas day) anyways?

delta214

Yeah episode 1 is going to be free for a while and the rest will be on sale for 800

Shred

Excellent, I just added ep1 to my download queue, hopefully the rest are only 800msp!

grimm2005

Are the Walking Dead episodes likely to be on sale separately also or just as a pack? I have the first 3 episodes already.

I would highly expect each episode to be individually reduced in price, in fact it's virtually a certainty, all the previous games and DLC items in the countdown to 2013 sale have been reduced separately.

Mr E

Each game was sold individually (there was no season pass on xbox), so they'll be on sale individually too.

MagicMarker

Sweet, downloading Ep1 now.

List on the 1st post of this thread, no update on tomorrow yet it's still TBC

Gunmonkey

Counter Strike: Global Offensive tomorrow, still no idea on price (but given almost everything has been 50% or more so far I wager its dropping from 1200 to 600).

Update list on Neogaf

Played and finished (and should I say lived?) episode one of The Walking Dead tonight. Excellent excellent game, great storyline and characters. Had to make a few tough choices along the way, and with little time to decide, I was left wondering afterwards if I had done the right thing - it's almost as if I was right there, sharing their emotional journey. Can't wait to see how things play out.

Is CS:GO good online?
I used to play the original on PC back in the day and lots of games would turn into a complete camp-fest, just guys hiding in every dark corner.

Download the demo it's unpalatable for me with the bastarding lag absolutely shocking lag.. you will want to hang yourself playing it

DARK-KNIGHT

got borderlands 2 season pass for 1800 saving of 25% i think so all good....

jimbob_jones

Hi folks was looking at the Xbox site today and as previously stated the first episode of The Walking Dead is free but all the other episodes are 400 points each pretty good IMHO

Too many people ignoring this game because they want a Walking Dead FPS. This is by far one of the best games I've ever played, bug riddled as it may be, and everyone needs to at least try ep1!

They will be half price tomorrow more than likely, so 200 points each.

I've been waiting for these to drop in price.

Purchased them through the Xbox website. Is anybody else receiving a "Cannot add to download queue" message? Episodes 2 and 5 are downloading, but 3 and 4 can't be added for some reason.

Happened to me for ep 4. Not worried, it's showing as purchased (which is the main thing). I will check it out when I get back to my xbox.....

Working my way through Xcom at the moment, so it'll be a while before I have time to play it. Like yourself, it's showing as purchased so not very concerned.

Can always download through the game itself. Just a strange error to get!

Meesared

Xbox have been having a few issues over the past 24 hours or so, so once that is cleared up you should be fine to download

delta214

Got episodes 1-4. 140ms points left though Is there any way of getting 60 free points within a few hours?

F1ngers

Don't know the usual price - so not sure if a bargain or not.

GameStop Ireland ‏@GameStopIreland So it is 800 points to get all the Walking Dead on Xbox Live right now. We sell 800 pts in store for €9.99 Xbox Live deal is for 2day only

It's the normal price for 800 points at retail AFAIK. Same price in Smyths and 50c dearer by email from Gamesnash.

FutureGuy

Game.co.uk are pretty cheap and you get the code instantly. Had credit on there and got 4200 for £32.99. They have denominations as low as 120 IFC.

calex71

In addition to all the other deals, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is on sale for 600 points, as well as some Kane and Lynch DLC

Wolverine359

Can't wait to save a bit on the Skyrim DLC tomorrow. I wonder if there's any chance of a discount off the Dragonborn DLC?

Edit: so the only Skyrim dlc to be discounted is Dawnguard, at 33% off.

Dawnguard is 50% off at 800 but Hearthfire is meant to be 200 not the 400 I'm seeing

EDIT: Should be reduced later today if you read the comments on above link

Cool, I'll keep an eye on it, thanks! I just thought that Dawnguard was 33% off because I'm certain I checked it yesterday and that it was 1200, with dragonborn at 1600, but maybe the prices are being altered in stages or something, the price synchronization is a bit off maybe.

Edit: Hearthfire is 200 points now.

I tried finding that prop but failed, where exactly do I go to get it? I can't see the sales and specials app.

Hmmmmm I thought that app was for all now, but I originally got it from my UK account.
