Xbox 360 Game Deals & Offers

Well worth looking for all the backward compatible ones https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

I went to two liverpool stores today. Both selling all games at their normal price. No special clearance offers at all for any console.

Looks like it’s store specific. Local store has usual prices. They are probably clearing their 360 stovk

(y)

I'll have to sell them at least 500 games just to get my fix. Cash converters - we turn your TV into crack cocaine (since 1990)

Xbox One X doesn't upscale without a patch what it does do is run at a higher frame rate with a higher level of anisotropic filtering. With a patch it increases the native resolution to nine times higher the original and sometimes has other tweaks like increased draw distance. So if the original game was full 720p it will be a full native 4K on X1X if the game is patched. As it increases the native resolution it is effectively a free remaster.

Yeah, it's £6 from CEX

It's probably worth getting rare replay rather than buying this individually, rare replay includes it, and comes with another 20+ games from their back catalogue. Not sure how much it can be grabbed for nowadays, but I think it was 15 new on release a couple of years ago

I hated this for some reason

True that. I myself am not sure how pronounced the perofrmance gains are over the PS4 Pro boost mode (which I'm mainly comparing it to) although I'm sure its by default a lot better. Still I'm more interested in proper full on patches that really give the base games a significant overhaul

Offer seems to have expired. It's funny though how on of the games I ordered (Lost Sphear) is being shipped from Bedfordshire rather than Germany. Funnier is that the other 4 games are coming from Spain.

Is this dead now? There seems to be no switch games in the deal summary, and adding them to cart and going through checkout gives me the full price...

Received my copies today Thanks op

So slow to post, 3 shipped yesterday and 2 still waiting to post, still says arriving Monday

Not working anymore sad times. :(

My favourite gears. Spent hundreds of hours on this getting to level 100. Pity the online is dead these days.

Used to be my absolute favourite game on xbox (gow2). So satisfying using sniper on horde mode. Used to love getting one of those Maulers in the head and there just stood there headless but their grenade still swings for a few seconds.

I remember buying this game, many moons about for about £2. Only bought it after reading all of the rave reviews, thought it was tosh personally but I've always been more inclined to play FPS games on the PC. Good price, if it's your sort of thing.

Was just about to pop down to CEX when I realised I already had this.....must have been a games with gold freebie! :D Thanks for letting me know its now X enhanced and the free DLC.

God damn wretches.

What's this trick? As in how do you get the £5?

The offer isn't showing for me but my game pass doesn't run out till tomorrow, hope it gives me the offer. Great deal!

I am also lapsed and seeing the offer for £1 (the 11 remaining days suggests it will end Weds 9th May).

My Game Pass ran out a few days ago & I managed to get this deal yesterday, so it is allowing some lapsed subscribers.

Doesn't work for renewal have just checked. A rolling plan IS renewal. A lapsed sub is a different story.

I can't see what's so hard to comprehend with my comment? It was in relation to xbox owners not wanting to engage with PS4 owners as they clearly have little to argue against in terms of the PS4 having the better choice of games and now try to take the high ground unlike when it was the 360 and the PS3 when it was a little closer but I'm guessing you already knew this and this was just an in to argue your case?

good to see it confirmed by Major Nelson Sadly after so many months of bogus "leaked" lists I wait until it gets posted there and only there and don't get my hopes up that anything posted earlier is true.

???

For those who like to have physical copies and those that might miss out on GWG :{

Nice.

360 is Still £45 in CEX! Crazy but they never produced many at release.

Is Fifa 18 on this or ea yet

Nope, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass are 2 seperate services. You'll only need Xbox Live Gold if you wanna play any of the games online.

Thanks for the info

I think so but you get free trials for both included with the Xbox one X anyway (both also have the auto renew feature to get an extra month just remember to cancel them before getting charged) , (y)

Do it lad.. you'll get some heat from me ;)

I notice there are lots of new TV shows and films on Netflix as well. Maybe I should post some in Freebies (cheeky)

Has been since the 1st of the month, a thread was previously made with games releasing on Game Pass, so this should be deleted.

As has been noted - this isn't free...it's £7.99 a month for a games pass! COLD

This started off well on PC (F2P), but they didn't seem like they knew what they wanted to do with the game modes and it just got worse and worse.

It’s not worth 5p. Absolutely terrible. Spend your fiver on something decent like a maccies or a pint.

Played this game at EGX 2016 before it was released was a really cool game id say it's worth a fiver

Voted hot for the price (y) 🏻

Having played 4hrs of this I feel like I've playtested it more than the devs did. Also I bet the troll is his dad!

A turd for a reduced price is still a turd.

Thanks bud, always get them messed up! Thank God the internet peeps keep me right

Or even could HAVE picked it up

I'm almost 100% positive that CEX won't accept it, but I don't think it should be problem to sell it on gumtree or eBay.

But the price of those 3 costs more than the price of the 5 games individually from the UK :/

Actually yeah, I don't think it will work out personally. Burnout Revenge was the only one I was definitely interested in, and I was thinking of getting a few copies of it to make back some money and maybe get a couple of other games I was kinda interested in. You can only get one copy per order though, still not a bad offer if you actually want 5 games on the list. Yes they can be found cheaper individually elsewhere, but 5 for the price of 3 is still very good.

This is £169.99 now, needs expiring.

If I remembered well, a few people on another Thread on here one time (last Month I believe it was?) mentioned something along the lines of "The hard drives in these gaming hard drive hub things are better than the normal hard drives in similar/same hard drive enclosures, on account of the read/write movement, etc". It was to do with the fact that such hard drives like these are more built/designed for constant/continuous movement, than that of normal external hard drives (normal hard drives of which only move sometimes when used, etc?, whereas hard drives like the one in the OP's Deal move all the time/never stop moving ... ) Is that true?. And/or are such gaming hard drives like these actually better overall?, or ... So as such will have more retention/retentive life and longativity about them in the long run? (eg. for many more Year's to come, etc, as opposed to possibly a shorter lifespan in that of the normal/average hard drives instead, etc etc etc?). Thanx.

I thought all ST8000DM004's were SMR? My Xbox Game Drive reports as having an ST8000DM004, and I've always just assumed that meant I have landed an SMR drive..

The st8000dm005 isn't showing under current pro drives on seagate's site and the 004 is (also 7200rpm and showing up as a newer model on Amazon. The 005 is also showing eol on Scan.)

I’ve not witnessed any sticker shenanigans on drives with Seagate before; that’s quite interesting and definitely one to watch out for as WD are known for the same thing with the purples. When I get my next pair I’ll definitely take a look! I tend to go by what the hardware controller reports once it’s shucked. In all honestly for my use case (4K video archival & retrieval, hi-Rez audio mastering and large file photoshop) the compute drive performs just as quickly as the pros and outpaces an ironwolf in the same server.

£2.99 now

Yeah, all the naff games nobody actually wants to play let alone buy.

Just keep making new xbox accounts and then get unlimited 14 day trials😚

I now get to rent SoT and Recore on PC due to this at the cost of £1.39. Thanks Microsoft I really like this gamepass. Then again I can't see myself paying £8 a month for it.

So I think we have 4 accounts on the Xbox. If I add this code to my main account - once downloaded can my son access the games on his account on the same Xbox ? If so then I can add a code to the accounts in turn after 1 (or 2 maths turning auto renew on then off) ? If so then that results in up to 8 months game pass for £5.28 (less than the cost of one month) !

Not unheard of from digital sellers. Had similar from the Simply Games digital site, remember people saying about this with ID when MMOGA were selling PS+ for £31.33... mine went through straight away and others had this ID request. Can understand them safeguarding themselves every so often for dearer items but a one month Game Pass Code seems overkill. I see you are sorted now

I asked to cancel and they said no need for verification then if I wanted to keep the order. I got the code now.

Oh.... 😶

May as well get it mate its out in like 4 days, I'm going for the CD keys a gentleman posted a link too. That 4 days will give me time to mess about and figure out how it works lol and I'll download some games too (y)

I'm another one of these millions! For the same reasons you just said only I'm waiting for more than just SoT (very tempting to use it now for that but I won't). The others I'm waiting on are State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3. lol. Too many games to play so I'm no rush.

I'm not sure pal, feel free to enter the Competition to win the game in misc.

Does the one on cdkeys only work with new accounts or does it work if you've never had an xbox game pass before?My account is fairly old - but never had game pass.

I'm sure it can on windows store yeah

Can be used on PC?

Just spoke to Microsoft support online:  Contact us Agent Photo Mari C End chat Mari C Hi, thanks for visiting Xbox Support! I'm Mari C. 15:18 Me Hi 15:19 Mari C Hi Richard! Please be aware that if you switch apps or change focus to another window while working with us, you may get disconnected from your chat session. To ensure the best support experience, please stay active in this chat window. I hope you're doing great today. I'm seeing here that you have a query about the game Sea of Thieves if it will be one of the titles for Xbox Game Pass? Is this correct? 15:19 Me Not exactly I know it's coming to game pass on the 20th march but what I want to know is of I will be able to play it if I'm only using a trial subscription 15:20 Mari C Ohh alright, thanks for clarifying that out! Yes, you should be able to, there isn't necessarily an exclusive list for true subscribers rather than the trial ones, so you should be all good and the game will be playable with any types of game pass subs. 15:22 Me Thanks I just read somewhere that new games were excluded for one month of your only on a trial 15:23 Mari C Oh, and I believe the game is mainly online, so do make sure to be subscribed to gold once it releases. 15:23 Mari C No worries Richard, as per official words about that, there isn't any restrictions for new games or so, should be all good 15:25 Type a message here

Thanks OP. Was considering buying this but as I already have game pass I’ll hang on a few more weeks

Regardless of whether it is a deal or not, that's not the reason you gave. You whittered on about release dates rather than debating whether it was a deal or not.

Get this on PC five 🌟!!! Lots of mods etc...

Fellow user from PPE I see ;)

Same. Got excited. Quickly replaced with disappointment ;(

I don't know if they are running any offers CDKeys or anyone else but at time of posting this price was available.

Where can i find 12 months as cheap as £31.96

Gutted I missed this

Now at £16.99! Why do CDKeys keep swapping prices soo much?? Wish i got a few at £12.99 now

Thank you for letting me know that.

Free month on Wuntu app at the moment - leave on auto renew for an extra month - then switch it off again 8) . It stacks too as we have a couple of Wuntu apps in our house.

New Account is a bit vague - guessing you can't also use the free 14 day trial they offer in that case? https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/xbox-game-pass

Does this work if you have used teh 14 day trial that came with the XBOX?

Anyone know this, I'm in the Alpha program and I had a go with this when it launched, if I activate any offers or buy this will it work?

I'm wondering that too, is it only for new accounts as well? No mention of that in the description. Hell of a deal if you can indeed keep topping up with that.
