The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

I had enough trouble trying to work out who could play with who when it came to GTA last week, I don't want it kicking off again!

Also, whilst I'm here, there's a big Games on Demand sale now on with daily deals and some that remain constant for the duration. Not sure how long it is, probably a week.

Today's deals are for Assassins Creed 3, Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3 and Maxx Payne 3. I think Maxx Payne is actually more expensive then the sale they had the other month so that's not too good. Think the US has it a little better than us because I've seen it written that they have, for example, Mass Effect for 400 points whereas in the UK it's like 520. Don't think there's anything too amazing yet like the Batman: AA for like £2.69 or whatever but things might pick up.

Monopoly Streets, lads?

[MDK]

Monopoly? I have enough arguing about that game in real life so I don't need it online either

[MDK]

Also, anyone up for some Spartacus?

[Monkey D. Lars]

Yeah, when do you want to play it Myke?

[MDK]

Later on probably, I'm about to go out at the moment. I was just having a quick go to see what it was all about

[King Ellis]

An exercise in wearing out your X button, mostly.

[LL!]

I'm totes getting AC3.

[thatshortguy]

Yeah, think I'm jumping on Borderlands 2 for $10. Especially if I can harp on one of my friends to jump back into it.

[Maxx]

I'll be grabbing Borderlands 2, because I'm essentially getting it for free thanks to those 1600 points Ellis helped me get.

[King Ellis]

Borderlands co-op! Even though you will be waaaay behind me for ages.

Also, the DLC is on sale this week, though it can be obtained through other means...

[rocksta]

I might buy Borderlands

[LL!]

I will not buy Borderlands for dirt cheap just to spite Ellis.

[thatshortguy]

Hell, I may take back Halo 4 and exchange it for Microsoft Fun Dollar Token Points so I can grab the DLC.

[Maxx]

What other means?

[DYSI]

Anyone up for some NBA 2K13?

Elaborate.

I could probably get a game or two in on Thursday, although I warn you, I am horrendous at the 2k series. I think it's the sheer amount of controls, I never felt nearly as lost with the Live series.

[King Ellis]

I've told you before about it!

[Captain Eo]

I want to play with you guys. What should I buy?

[Your Mom]

If I can't connect with my Xbox right now can I buy some of the sale stuff on the website?

[King Ellis]

Yes. Once you buy it on the website it gets added automatically to your download queue and the next time you sign in to your console, it'll start downloading it right away. Or, you can just remove it from the queue from the website if you just want to take advantage of some great offer but don't necessarily want the game on your system right now *cough*Defense Grid*cough*.
