Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Crossing my fingers that Infinite Undiscovery finally goes on sale. Pretty soon I'll just bite the bullet on it in case it gets delisted

I already own it, but it's been surprising to me that a game like Deadly Premonition has *never* gone on sale since it's come to the digital store.

I would also pick up Arkham Origins if it goes on sale.

Yeah I think I grabbed DP digital as soon as it became back compat. I think I have four copies of it now between Xbox, Steam and Switch lol. Series X is hands down the best way to play it.

Arkham Origins I don't think I'd even available digitally unless I'm mistaken? I think that's a physical-only BC like 50 Cent.

I think you're spot on there, my bad.
 
XBOX had the same deal last year, only difference was the Series X wasn’t discounted, just the Series S. This year it’s both models.

What time is it?

I bought it as soon as it got relisted in fear of it getting delisted again. It's still the best way to play the game after all these years which is insane.
 
Target currently has 10% off of an electronic item through Circle plus you get a free full priced game so Series X + game for $485 or so.

Which DBZ game do you recommend mate?

Looking to play some on my PC/Xbox

Missing the DBZ world
By dbz kick, I mean more just the anime/movies. Not games. Which is why I'm interested in DBZ Kakarot. Kakarot seems the best if you want single player and experience the same story. Fighterz looks great and everyone seems to like it but only if you're interested in multiplayer fighting games. I can't recommend anything though since I haven't played a DBZ game in over a decade.

Looks like the discount prices for Xbox have started applying, XBDeals shows ~900 items with discounts.

Trueachievements will probably make a curated list on this by tomorrow, but if someone wants to see it raw, go to xbdeals.net

Last year the Black Friday sale started i think on the same date. I bought a Series S with my MS rewards points and the next day they updated the page to where it includes a free pair of wired Xbox headphones. Might be worth it to wait a day or two if you plan on getting a console. Deal from last year. I got like 330k MS rewards points right now, was hoping for a better deal on the elite 2 and use my points on that.
 
My back log is already too big but there are games I want to play going on sale. Do I hold off or continue to build that back log?

Calm Down 90 Day Fiance GIF by TLC

One of the bigger disappointments for me this year. The original was a nice surprise and my expectations were kind of low considering it was a PS+ freebie and art style is kind of unappealing. That game started off slow and then picked up steam as it went along. I pre-order the sequel since I enjoyed the original so much and it has the opposite problem where it starts off strong and then peters out and culminates with a terrible last boss. I haven't tried the DLC yet but I need to talk my co-op partner into booting it up again which might be a tall order.

Mega Man Legacy Collection $6. MM 1-6 so $1 a game. But they're real old so that's about the right price.

Damn... That's a pity. I also did a quick search and I learned that the game runs at sub 1080p on the Series S at 30 frames with drops.

I guess I will wait for a better sale on the ps5 version.

Thanks for the heads-up.

It's by no means bad. I guess I can chalk it up to expectations. I will say the first few hours were really fun, especially coming off of Diablo IV (speaking of disappointments).
