    I'm not at all surprised to see people (for the last week or two, not just here) asking for some generous fire sale on non-BC games, but Microsoft doesn't determine what goes on sale. Publishers and developers do. Could you imagine if it was the other way around? "We at Microsoft have decided your split of the profits for your game will be $1.50 this week, and you will like it."
    Well it doesn't really make sense for a sale right now when there is still plenty of time to get 360 content. It is very likely many people will give in and buy the games for full price "just to be safe". However there is little reason to not discount everything not long before the store gets closed down to squeeze a little bit more out of the content before it will disappear forever.

    If anyone read this...can you explain me if in this bundle Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy, Shadow of the Tomb Raider Achievements DLCs are included or not?

    I don't understand it..because if i look at the xbox store page, under the Definitive Ed. (that is the version in that bundle) they only say "extra content"...

    I wish they had more XBOX 360 Game on Sale. I already own most of this. I started download all my Purchased XBOX 360 Games about a month ago. Was shocked to see I have 380 Full Games to play. Didn't think I owned that many.

    With a backlog of over 700 games, I probably should stand still from now on and don’t get any new games laugh

    I have contacted Ubisoft about DLC that never goes on sale, and they say it has to do with Microsoft. I'm sure it is often actually both parties working together to decide what can be put on sale at what price. For example if no publishers initiate a sale in a given week, I'm sure someone at Microsoft gets on the horn with publishers and helps grease the wheels. Can you imagine what would happen if there was a week with no sales, because no publishers wanted one? Microsoft would not tolerate that.
    The person at Ubisoft lied.
    More likely it was a customer service representative who doesn't know how these deals work any better than we do.

    But yeah, I'd imagine that both parties have to sign an agreement before anything is discounted.

    Nice amount of 360 content, though if I understand the closure announcement, most of these would be unaffected since they're on the new store.
