Just buy them through xbox.com. Works a treat.

I've tried that but it insists that I need a valid way of paying the £0 it costs - i.e. it wants me to add a credit card to the account which I don't want to do. :-/

 

[Remark]

It kinda does. Remember the install process?

Well yeah but to get into Halo 1 or whatever you would have to install MCC as a whole still unless they release a bastardized version of it that only allows you to play Halo: CE for example.

 

[FyreWulff]

I think if they were to do just Halo 1 as a GWG they'd either do the 360 version due to BC or the actual Xbox Originals (which would be 360 only, at the moment)

I point it to my Paypal account; that can't auto-authorise payments, so it won't just blindly renew a Gold subscription.

Speaking of which, are there any differences between Anniversary Edition and MCC Edition of Halo 1?

Thanks, I'll try that.

afiak just 60fps for the MCC version, and the ability to play Halo 1 PC's multiplayer.

CEA has Halo-1-multiplayer-via-a-segmented-off-section-of-Reach.

Cea halo 1 multiplayer plays far more like reach than halo 1 fyi

Not sure I agree with you saying mcc has halo 1 pc's multiplayer lol but ultimately it's a lot closer to the real thing than CEA was

 

[malfcn]

I'm guessing we'll hear something tomorrow..?

 

[FyreWulff]

It's literally Halo PC's multiplayer (with some patches put on it since the MCC launch)

It even had the Halo PC beep hitnoise at launch.

 

[jmdajr]

This has brought my 360 back to life. Lots of great free games.

 

[tav7623]

Just go for broke and hope for MGSV before it even comes out

I would if not for 2 things 1. I know for a fact that there's no chance in hell Konami would do something as crazy awesome as that and 2. I already have my Phantom Pain pre-order paid off

 

[Thursday War]

can't wait for yet another month of lococycle and pool nation fx

 

[im_dany]

Wouldn't that be kinda counter-intuitive to their pre-order offer for 4?

Preorder offer is in october, honestly I can't see any other reason for FO3 not being in the Deal of the Week (unless Bethesda is dumb, because with all this hype they would've sold a lot of copies)

 

[Chris1]

Yeah doesn't make much sense. I picked up FO:NV and I've saw a few other gaffers pick it up aswell, I'm sure if they put FO3 on sale a lot of people would have picked it up also, I know I would have.

FWIW TR sold 5.5m on ps3/ps4/x360/x1 and it's been free with gold on both PS3/X360, the average of downloads per games has been 1,785,714(as of April), although I'm sure a game like TR sold more than that, it can't be much more considering the total sales of the game. Not sure if GWG/PS+ sales are included in SE sales figures, but considering how low the GWG downloads seem to be it very well could be.

If those numbers are anything to go by, that is only a small fraction of what Fallout 4 will sell so they might think it going GWG won't harm their promotion. Plus, Fallout 4 will be targetting xbox one users not 360 so there's also a different audience too (I know you can buy it from the website, but still, I'd imagine that's a fraction of the sales).

Fallout 3 would be great though and it follows MS trend of making a game free with gold before a sequel comes out with MS marketing/exclusive.

 

[The Real Napsta]

It's the last Thursday of the month so we find out today right? or is the 25th too far from the end of the month?

Will be tomorrow I reckon, even that is a little too early but I think Monday & Tuesday are too late.

 

[The Last Wizard]

[Welfare]

Pool Nation is love. Pool Nation is life.

Why that game in particular? Like come on. Just make it a free to play game and take it off GWG.

[Montresor]

im actually for Max Payne 3

I played Max Payne 3 10+ times. The single player was great. I'd love to have a digital version and then with BC on XB1, I could record some videos.

[Don Draper's Hat]

My one and only problems with Max Payne 3 is having to sit through the non-skippable cut scenes. Loved everything else about the game but not sure I coukd sit through it all again.

Remember Me would be a good choice.

My dream combo would be Splinter Cell Blacklist and Super Meat Boy.

I would replay that game so much more if not for that cut scenes!

I would like Tales of Vesperia for x360.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

So still no announcement means another sucky month.

 

[munroe]

So still no announcement means another sucky month.

Announcements generally aren't given until like the day or 2 before the start of the new month.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Announcements generally aren't given until like the day or 2 before the start of the new month.

Also, if the announcement is today, we wouldn't likely get it for about another 85 min or so.

That'd be fantastic, even though I've beaten every game on the list except for Remember Me.

Sidebar: What happened to Komarov last year? Think the injuries were bugging him all season? He wasn't himself.

 

[LordBaztion]

Pool Nation
Lococycle

DR3 Apocalypse Edition is the version with all the DLC correct? No way MS gives that out, ever.

 

[speedomodel]

Remember Me would be a nice addition.

I'd love to see the Saboteur or Bourne Conspiracy.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Hope Pool Nation keeps on its streak. Like, I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't see Pool Nation on the GWG page.

 

[ironcreed]

my bets:
Pool Nation

Please, make it go away.

 

[BronsonLee]
