    Ha, Super Mario Bros. The Movie.

    The only logical choice.

    I’ve got no idea why I’m browsing the list of crappy movies when I’ve already got Sonic Mania (unplayed of course) from Plus.

    Yeah there was, I had it for the ZX Spectrum, it was an adventure game and you had to type in your actions, doesn't sound that great but loads of games were designed this way years ago. You had to load it in by cassette and it took ages. There were I think 2 cassettes that came with it, double sided, and you had to load in each section when you finished. I'm sure there were 3 sections on the 48k spectrum. I also had the 128k version and that loaded in one go, it also played the music constantly, so the same tune played over and over... And over!

    Cheapest this can be done for is £1.99.
    Purchase of any season 1-14 of Red v Blue in SD. A few other anime looking titles also available at that price.

    I bought Mortal Kombat. What a film!

    I ended up having my refund request declined, out of chance I replied to the email to complain. Ended up getting £20 microsoft credit and a 1 month extension to my Ultimate!

    Might finally end up getting Sonic Mania in this case, nice find OP.
  12. Player_One's avatar
    hmmm even though its the more expensive option, think its got to be Super Mario Bros the Movie.

    I won't even watch the 1.99 stuff, so for 3.99 at least I will watch it once.
  13. Moo_Lefty's avatar
    Thanks!

    Most of the movies i've all seen or don't appeal, but opted for this documentary which looks intriguing: microsoft.com/en-…tab

    It seems like the cheapest purchases are £1.99 (SD), if all you're after is Sonic

    Some people don't deserve this site...

    Read the description before posting how you haven't got your Sonic code yet...

    so i can buy red vs blue for 99p and get sonic free?


    It’s listed in the gamer flicks so yes you should be able to do that indeed, given the promotion runs till the 15th, if you wanted to be 100% sure you could check with CS in the morning and then buy with confidence.

    Agree some strange movies there from a game perspective, I suppose they wanted to run a promo and had to have a decent selection to make it look good

    Sonic mania is an absolute blast, got mine with the collector's edition probably one of the best sonic games in the series imho.

    My kids absolutely love it...god knows how many times they've watched it now. They were 6 & 8 when they first watched it. That's probably the mental age you need to be to appreciate it.

    Purchased Drive for £2.99 - now playing the waiting game for the download code.

    Cheers OP, going to go for Ratchet and Clank for £3.99.
  28. snotters's avatar
    I'm now wondering how long it will take for them to send the code. "2 weeks" ffs??

    That said, it's not like I'm going to play it any time soon. This week I've bought AC Ezio Collection, MGS Ultimate Collection, Ratchet & Clank, Last of Us remastered, Re:Core, Witcher 2, Elder Scrolls Oblivion - all because I'm "working from home" and end up getting bored & start looking online for sales. Just one week I'd like to not add any more games to the backlog! (edited)

    Anyone know if this offer is valid with one of the 99p films?


    I think that's just the rental price and not the buy price.

    14 Blades is nice Donnie Yen action film. I think I'll get that. Thanks OP (edited)
