This Xbox Ultimate Game Sale 2025 is the biggest Xbox sale of the year so far! Microsoft has slashed the prices of numerous top titles, including Assassin's Creed: Shadows, Final Fantasy XVI, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, so have a good look through everything on offer below and grab yourself a bargain.

Color me surprised Final Fantasy games are actually discounted this time around, they rarely are during large sales like these. The Lightning trilogy is still not discounted on Xbox though, which is galling (just the shitty Windows versions which aren't Play Anywhere). Besides that it's mostly the usual crud.
 
Seeing those old games reminds me of when I lost them.
Way back when Xbox 360 live arcade was some of my first digital games, I lost my XBox account because I wasn't keeping up with it.
I forgot my password and as I never really used it. My Xbox would just auto sign in every time.
I could not recover my password because during that time, My ISP changed hands.
A company bought them out and I had used the email as my contact. New ISP had a completely different name. Old email address no longer existed. :(
I tried calling ISP, but I was pretty much screwed. I was never able to get far with Microsoft support.
This was back around 2010.
Some of the games I lost
Castle Crashers
Hydrophobia
Kingdom for Keflings
Blade Kitten

So thats my sob story.

Microsoft should have rebooted the catgirl into a AA game instead of AAAA Perfect Dark.

 
Ill be getting Dragon Quest III and FFXVI.

They seem to be stingy with the 360 FFXIII Trilogy - but they do go on sale. I remember waiting a long time for a sale - but it did happen.
 
Why buy any of this shit when you can't take the VAST majority with you to the handheld natively? Let's just hope they have FULL backwards compatibility for their next console...
 
To play on the current console ?
Well lets say next gen starts in a year or 2, but Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decide that their next console is a PC hybrid console and it's only going to have the Windows version of the Xbox store... How would 1 play an older 360 game on these consoles natively IF Microsoft decide to go this route? And if they do go this route, why buy these games that will be stuck on these consoles forever?

To play them today ?

Games I buy to play now won't stop working on hardware I have now, after 2, 3 years.

I'm talking future consoles. But you're clearly being obtuse for the sake of it. Re-read what I originally wrote and then understand I am not talking about the current console generation. Buy them for today's Xbox. That's fine. But if there is no guarantee of taking them onto the next Xbox console, why waste the money today on digital goods if they're stuck on this gens consoles?

Because not everyone treats buying games like a serious stock market investment, they just play them for a while and forget about them.

Excellent. You do you. I'd like to know that what i'm buying today will come with me when I upgrade to the next generation of consoles.
 
Play them today but, like I repeated on the other post I wrote, I'm talking about taking these games with you onto the next console and beyond... If there is no guarantee why waste money here?
It's not wasted money if you get enjoyment out of it now. There isn't a guarantee about anything but the company who has made BC one of their core principles probably isn't gonna abandon it. Even if they did, you buy the games you want to play. Then play them. It isn't that big of a deal.
