    Hmm, a few things that went off gamepass before I finished them...

    Not sure what's going on with Lego Star Wars TFA that it hasn't been on sale for 16 months now. I give up, I'm getting a physical copy.

    Ah. That's why I got like a billion notifications of sales.

    Guess I will get Dragon Quest XI. Never finished it on GP, but loved the game and want to support the publishers to encourage them to offer other DQ games. It's slightly cheaper to import the physical, though.

    You should check other regions, btw. For some reason, Lego games often go on sale in the US when they aren't on sale in Europe. When they are on sale in both markets, the US version is always considerably cheaper.

    It's odd for British games based on a Danish toy, but meh.

    For example, the price for Force Awakens in UK is currently £39.99. In the US, it is just $19.99.

    So, get it from the US store instead? Switch your console to US and boom.

    Holy hell, thanks for that hint. 19$ is probably cheaper than a physical copy, too. Doesn't look like it's recently been on sale there either though. Is there a way to change the time period on the price history diagram under the price tab, by default it's set to last 6 months?

    If you go to the forum for a game, it lists all the sale threads Force Awakens has been included in.

    Last time it was on sale in the US was Jan 2022.

    That was the complete collection.

    It was $5.99 for the game plus all DLC:

    Yeah, I remember that sale, it was on sale in Europe as well. I barely missed it and I've been waiting ever since, all the other SW Lego games still go on sale quite frequently but not this one.

    Grabbing the Zero Escape Series. Played the first game of the collection on Game Pass and loved it but ran out of time for the second. Then I can play the third.

    Also grabbing the Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin season pass. I recently remarked that it's never gone on sale but it did get a permanent price cut at some point, and now it's actually on sale for a few bucks less so I'll take it 😁

    Multiple discounts at once hurts the wallet.

    But doesn't change the fact there are many good games here, and some on discount for the first time.

    Finally, I think this is the first time I've seen Disgaea 4 on sale since they removed it from PC Game Pass

    Might get Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate got to finish some achievements I didn’t get when I had the disc since my disc drive broke and I’m all digital now, hope there’s a Warriors Orochi 5 coming soon.

    Wish they'd include the Episode III game in one of these Star Wars sales for once.

    Haven't gotten wishlist notifications for 3 sales in a row now, and I'm certain there are games from my wishlist in all three of them. No one else having this problem?
