You can buy 360 games through the Xbox One store, or the online 360 store, but if you don't have a 360 sitting around the biggest limitation is that you cannot use your Microsoft Account balance to buy those 360 games. You instead need to use a credit card or PayPal or similar.

Awww come on MS.

Other than having to play them with a gamepad, they're pretty straight ports. They're my favorite console versions of Doom.

I got a similar message when I tried to redeem a gold subscription during Black Friday and then when I reentered the code I got a message that said the code was redeemed. When I checked my account, even though I got an error message, the code was redeemed successfully.
Why don't you check how much money you have in your account.

I had some left over Singapore dollars so picked up Telltale Batman and Quantum Break.
Hoping for some solid dailies over the remainder of the sale.

Quick question: So if I were to purchase an Xbox Gift Card to fund my account I couldn't use that money to buy 360 games through Xbox One or PC...? I have to use Paypal or a card?
Unless you have a 360 to log into and purchase the game on the 360, yes you have to use paypal or a card.
They claimed they were going to try to get the website updated so you could use credit, but apparently the backend of the 360 system was never built that way so who knows when or if it'll ever be changed.
Far out! They could not have cared less with these dailies!

I asked MS Support on Twitter if Catherine being on sale only in NA might be an error (as it is on sale on EU PSN). I'm sure it won't do shit, but I'm wondering what kind of bullshit they come up with.
Yes, I'm slightly annoyed by this situation.
Oh , and FF Type 0 isn't on sale in Europe as well.

Awesome was going to ask that myself. Honestly just been mega disappointed in this sale. And not having them on sale isn't going to push me to buy them anyway out of impatience, so I can wait or never buy them, so it's not working to get more money our of me at least.

I played the alpha and it was terrible. I know the alpha isn't the final product, but I love extreme sports games, and I hated what I played of Steep.
They're the updated version where the medkits are made to have red/white pills on them instead of the red cross. Otherwise they're great and I think they even support split screen.
Full four player splitscreen for camping and mp.

The games are good, but the ports were poorly done. Its serviceable, but the price is still a bit high compared to the amount of effort put into the ports.
They didn't fix the text or UI, it's the same low resolution from the earlier versions. It's playable though just the bare minimum effort was put into the collection. Last I checked they had not released the DLC so I don't have recent hands on.
Buy them from pcgamesupply.

has virtua fighter been on sale?
Final Showdown? Looks like it's been on sale a fair few times. Not recently though...
Vanilla Fighter 5 only twice apparently, for 5 dollars both times.

Do you guys recommend Forza Horizon 2 to someone who is currently in love with #3? Or are the older Forza games not worth going back to?
Also, I tried the Forza 6 demo and loved it. Anyone know the lowest in price that game has gone, or probably will go?

I think so too. Just last week I got the Titanfall 2/Battlefield 1 Deluxe Bundle and Oxenfree. Wish I had more money to grab some more but I'm pretty darn happy with those. Heard many good things about Oxenfree so I'm eager to try that out.

Annoyed about Catherine, unbelievable, and the UK price is a joke, the US price even OUT of the sale, is amazing.
Damn!

Haven't bought much besides Catherine haha. Contemplating AC Ezio Collection but I'm sure I'll get it cheaper than $40 soon
FH2 is wonderful. Please play it
I don't see the point in going back to Horizon 2 if you've played Horizon 3. Although you get to drive around Europe so if you're into that, maybe it's a good idea.
Forza 6 is different enough though and it's amazing imo, I'm a bigger fan of the Motorsport series than Horizon. Don't know the lowest price it's been...

How do you buy Catherine if you don't have a 360 set up anymore? Is it on the xbox one store?
I am online now at the store page and it says buy and it will download on your 360
or that doesn't matter and it will automatically download on my xbox one?

I usually just buy it in a PC browser and then it shows up in My Games on XB1 for me to download.

Yes, that's the page you want. As long as the game is backwards compatible, it will show up in your "ready to install" list on Xbox One. It does add the game to your Xbox 360 download queue, but if you don't have a 360 that doesn't really matter. It just means if you had one, it would download everything in your queue next time you turned it on.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Any chance Dark Souls 3 will go for sale again?
I missed the sale. FML!

Can someone give me any idea what type of game Catherine is? like in a few words, cause I have no clue what I'm looking at lol
I never really got into it, but my gut wants to say it's a puzzler, but it feels almost like "more than a puzzler," too if that make sense (I doubt it does). Puzzle platformer?
It'd be great if you still had a 360 hooked up so you could try the demo, but I'm not too sure how representative that is to the full game either...
All I really know is that I liked watching EVO videos of it on Youtube.

How come no listing on GAF or otherwise has DeBlob 2 down as being on sale? What else are we missing that's not popular?

Story based puzzler, kind of trippy.... scratch that.... really trippy.... there is plenty of value playing it just for it's weirdness factor.
