Managed to knock 5 games off my Xbox wishlist. 263 to go. Although, most of those are non-BC arcade games on Xbox 360. I can't get the Xbox 360 store to work on some of them, so I can't buy them. I picked these up from this sale, though:

Devil May Cry HD Collection
Devil May Cry 4
Resident Evil 3 Unlocks
Devil May Cry: DMC (or whatever it is called)
Watch_Dogs

DMC4 + DMC HD Collection was a package, and it was a great deal. Saved about £3 on buying them separately.

I am thinking heavily about picking up a few more games next week. Potentially RDR 2: Story Mode (since I have the online portion), but I think that is cheaper physical.

Wish the Final Fantasy games were on sale, plus Kingdom Hearts 2.5. Want to wrap up my Square Enix collection with the last 3 I gotta buy.

Ah fuck .. Thought you were talking about Devil May Cry 4 on Xbox 360 when you said you crossed games off your Xbox 360 list and mentioned it ..

But that is still 19,99.
Have it on disc for ages, but my disk drive is busted ..

Looks at nintendo and playstation sales....*Wow, they got some really great games for cheap prices, I should get me some*

Then look at xbox sales....*Shakes head in disappointment*
When the *frick* has Nintendo ever had a great game for sale at a cheap price? Breath of the Wild is still full price even though it's sequel has come out and it's been 6 years! No first-party Nintendo games ever seem to go lower than $39.99.
Yeah third party Switch titles are often on a good sale but Nintendo is the greediest of the 3 when it comes to first party game pricing and that’s saying something.
Nintendo switch eshop sales at a cheap price...

Capcom bailed nintendo multiple times with it's sale...Before the nintendo eshop was closing...Capcom had sales from $10.00 or less on there games...

Nintendo first party games the lowest I think I seen it go down is 30%...So yeah your right it's around $39.99(even on black friday) and nintendo may be greedy...

but there game sale lineup is so diverse(due to there third party support and the third party support they have cheap good games on a weekly basis)...I mean Cris Tales cost around $8.00 right now...
I mean I can’t argue against people who want to pick up cheap games on the Switch, but for me most of those 3rd party titles end up on XBox and stuff like Cris Tales goes on sale for just as cheap (and was in Game Pass for awhile) while stuff like Monster Hunter Rise is a lot better (even if delayed in comparison) so I’m okay with it all. I don’t play Pokémon anymore since my kid is grown and Metroid is probably the only Nintendo property I really miss, my Switch purchase was spur of the moment and I actually regret it because I’ve gotten so little out of it.

Still I can see the appeal of the Switch for people not like me, I just don’t think cheap third party sales are one of them unless there’s a huge pile of dirt cheap, best of the bunch indies on Switch that aren’t making it to XBox.
So little out of it...The switch has zelda, pokemon, fire emblem, smash bros, mario, luigi, donkey kong, metroid, kirby, xenoblade chronicles, animal crossing...etc...etc...etc...but if you get so little out of your nintendo switch...well I can't do nothing about that...

I know these games are not what you call dirt cheap...but...
The only reason I think I got a switch was to play the Disgaea games. Xbox does not have any of the Disgaea games except for Disgaea 4 on windows not on console(which I think the last sale of that game on windows was around $15.00). Disgaea 4, 5, and 6 when they are on sale go about $20.00 each on the switch and playstation.
And playstation and switch also has the mana games(trails, secret, and legend of mana). They are updated games from the original...which I think when they are on sale cost $20.00 each. Xbox doesn't have any of those games.
And the big elephant in the room. Final Fantasy Pixel remastered...Yeah I seen this game on sale also...it's not cheap...Xbox may or may not get this game...it's a toss-up with that game...I don't know...
And I know that xbox has some cheap indie, third party first party games that the playstation and switch doesn't have...But that's some of the games...that I wish xbox has but doesn't...and goes on sale on switch and playstation.
Hey man, I agree that Nintendo has a lot of first party titles that a lot of people love. I was trying to make clear that I simply don’t care about them (save for Metroid) and so for me my Switch was a bad purchase. I know it’s weird for someone to not care about Zelda but I just don’t. The only Mario game I ever thought was cool was the space one with all the planets. I used to drag my daughter to competitive Pokémon all over my part of the US so if I never play another Pokémon game it’ll be too soon (I hear breeding and EV training is far less of a nightmare now but it’s still blech for me).

I’m happy for anyone who loves their Switch. For me, though, I wish I still had my $200 (or whatever I spent on it).

Cyberpunk 2077 at its lowest price. Seems to be ending in just under 2 days.

They individually removed the Tomb Raider games ? I was waiting to see if they added any new games during the showcase to buy them, rip.
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?

Why do the Forza bundles state they include "LEGO Speed Champions Update" (which doesn't need to be mentioned at all since it's just an update) but don't mention that they include the Rally Expansion?

When are they finally going to take the games without achievements off of these lists?? I've been wondering that for years. Is it something they are obligated to put in due to some deal with Microsoft or something? I'm pretty positive that 99% of people on this site would never buy a game without achievements...

Some things on here appear to have reverted to their original prices. For example Motorbike Racing Bundle and Hellwarders. Were the deals in the article actually a mixture of one and two-week deals, or what changed?

Article was originally called ”Xbox sale round-up June 6th, 2023” so yes.

yeah, that fooled me too, Catmaze and Voyage are back to full price, just to name 2 I would have bought
"I'm proud of you Sheldon" "yeah, I'm proud of me too" - lol

Most of the games are still on sale for another two days, so the article is about two separate sales, one of which has ended.
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?

I’m not sure which pack you’re talking about but LEGO Speed Champions was a DLC (which also had a free Update for the base game) for FH4. It might be listed funny on TA, in XBox Store every FH4 and FH5 combo bundle does seem to include FH5’s Rally Adventure DLC. All the bundles I see include all the FH4 and FH5 DLC and most of the car packs for FH4 (there are a few packs not in any FH4 bundle) and all of the car packs for FH5.

Finally I don’t think there’s any way to get the FH4 pre order car(s) if you don’t already own them.

The packs I'm taking about are: "Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition", "Forza Horizon 5 + 4 Premium Upgrade Bundle" and "Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Horizon 4 Premium Editions Bundle" - all of which state they include the "LEGO Speed Champions Update" weirdly.

Also, the "Forza Horizon 5 + 4 Premium Upgrade Bundle" and the "Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Horizon 4 Premium Editions Bundle" don't mention the Rally Expansion that is included, which is even weirder.

It must be an error on TA - the update is not mentioned as being included on Xbox.com (which makes sense since it's an update, not DLC) and the Rally Expansion is clearly included.

I think the way their tools read from the XBox Store API sometimes leads to weird results in the bundles. This isn’t the first bundle I’ve seen missing things or including other wonky results. To be clear mostly the TA listings work correctly for bundles but if I’m interested in a bundle I always check on the XBox Store page on my actual XBox to see what’s actually included.
