Ugh. Overwatch is still $65AU and Crackdown 2 STILL refuses to go on sale.
Yeah missed out, don't have gold. Will probably buy the month for a dollar and pick some stuff up now.

Crackdown 2 is on sale for $7.99
https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Crackdown-2/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5308bc
So for those interested, these are the titles from the above mentioned Xbox 360 list that are not available on Xbox One BC (Edit- and also don't have a port/remaster available either):
Have a feeling we will be seeing these soon, especially Crackdown and Fable since they are first-party releases, and its worth mentioning Black Ops 2 is probably the most requested BC game to date.
Slightly off topic: Why Fable Anniversary might just now be playable on the Xbox One will forever be a mystery to me.

Those sales price are not low at all...
Here in France you find, retail: Gears 4 29, Gears 4 Ultimate 49, Halo Wars 2 29, Halo Wars 2 Ultimate 39 (yes)... Doom is 15 too, etc etc.
I want to buy digital on XO, I really want it, but damn... Well maybe I'll pick some of the ones that are really on sales.

I have been wanting to get resident evil 7 but looks like it isn't on sale....

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Are there daily deals? Was hoping for the witness to go on sale.

Hasn't been mentioned by Xbox Wire or Major Nelson so probably not.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is Backward Compatible.

As soon as I think about getting The Division, it goes on sale, but only as part of a bundle with Siege. Maybe next time.

Catherine for three bucks...don't think I can resist that price
Thanks, fixed.
Yeah, this sale was so disappointing and I was genuinely expecting some good sales on the 360 side.

Came for Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Left disappointed.
Ok, I'll stay a little longer.

Black Ops 2 hasn't had it's season pass on sale in about a year and a half and not only that it got a permanent price drop. It's also the only game in the series for the 360 on sale... I might be reading to much into it but... maybe?

I guess it depends on the publisher. There's some cheap stuff on sale like the Metro games, Just Cause 2, Catherine ($3 is insane for that one particularly) Witcher 2 and Risen.

MS games are a small part of this sale. So blame Rockstar, Activision,... too

How the hell is Walking Dead Michonne on sale on 360 and NOT XB1? Fuck off Telltale

Rockstar increases the prices of all their games once they become BC. I got RDR for $7.50 and Bully for $3.75 digitally last year.
San Andreas no longer goes on sale for $3.75 any more, so it could be BC soon.

Come talk to me when the ROTTR season pass goes on sale for Xbox One but not 360. It's so stupid. Wanted it during Christmas but nope.
BC has inflated some of the prices. RDR has been cheaper on Xbox Live in the past.
How does Bioshock Collection run? I'd heard some problems with jank in the PC version, but I've been curious about going back to the original and Infinite.
Edit: Eff it, decided to go for it along with Diablo 3. A man is entitled to the sweat of his brow and the drops of his loot.

I'll probably pick up Crackdown and maybe Crackdown 2 since those will probably get BC once the new one comes out (that's my assumption at least).
I wish the Sunset Overdrive season pass would go on sale, but the Deluxe Edition is cheaper than it, so maybe I'll just go with that and sell my physical copy.
I wasn't aware of that! It's the only Dead Rising game I was ever able to really get into so that'll be great to have on my XB1.

Heard that port had some issues. Is that still the case?

How does the 360 version of South Park: The Stick of Truth compare to the native XB1 version? I don't own either but I'm super keen.

Disappointed to see Diablo III (UK) at a higher price point than it's sale price from earlier this year.
If they're playing it, go for it. It's more of the same, but there's enough there to justify the $7.50 price tag.
That game is never going to be a graphical beast, but the Xbox 360 was very clean. You're not missing out on anything graphically if you go for that version over the Xbox One version. It runs absolutely fine too.

Last I heard that was all ironed out, but I can't say with certainty.

Wtf, when did Awesomenauts come to Xbone?
Think I'm getting that, the Borderlands Handsome Collection, and maybe State of Decay.

Why are some of the same games during holiday sales cheaper on PSN than XBL? Batman Arkham Knight is £9.99 for PS4 whilst £15 on XBL?? There was a few examples of this during Christmas too, their sales team or whoever is in charge of this are shit.
