EVIL-C

REPLACED replaced it's previous release date. 😋

Christ, I can't believe Pawn Stars is still on. 🤦‍♂️ Fake, phoney staged BS.

Just give Japan up already, Microsoft. Mother of god... 🤦‍♂️

@BAMozzy Conveniently left out "if you didn't buy digitally at the time, and it's been delisted, and there's no physical copy, you're SOL". I can't buy Deadpool, Armed and Dangerous, Forza 1, 2 or 3, 50 Cent BOTDS, nor NBA Jam on fire digitally.
NBAJOF never got a physical copy, and Deadpool and 50 Cent are quite expensive physically.

Also, with 80+ Million 360s sold, chances are one can still find a working unit. Plus all the games I mentioned (sans NBA) are BWC from disc on an Xbone/XSX. The PS1 is 30 years old, and there are plenty that are functional today, so the idea of a broken console stopping someone isn't very convincing. This isn't the Jaguar CD we're talking about.

It's wild Bounty Hunter never released on Xbox. Although maybe not as wild as ROTS not releasing on GameCube.
Glad to finally see this one on Xbox at long last.

@CallMeDuraSouka 🙏🥹❤️ Wow, see I love hearing stories like that. Were I ever to find myself being a parent someday, I'd make sure to expose them to as many of the timeless classics as possible. 😃

I too re-bought Rare Replay digitally just so I could own GoldenEye. 😍

@BAMozzy On the contrary, I still return to Perfect Dark every now and then. GoldenEye being released last year with Rare Replay was wonderful, and it's just as fun to me now as it was in 1997. I wish the FPS genre could replicate the magic of those 2 titles today; the spy genre is virtually dead.
The loss of Vigilante 8 Arcade is another huge loss, which again the modern market offers nothing like it.
And I love BWC. This past May I finished Far Cry for the first time, with several others from XB/360 eras waiting to be started. I also chipped away again at Timesplitters 2 a few weeks ago on XSX, and I have zero complaints. 😁

Rest in peace, Vigilante 8 Arcade. 😭 😭 😭

Seeing Vigilante 8 Arcade being permanently delisted, as it was never released on disc or ported to another system, absolutely crushes my soul. I love Vigilante 8. 😭💔

@Dimey A similar thing happened to me trying to install BLOPS 3 from a disc! I couldn't for the life of me understand why my download kept failing, so I had to download a digital copy using the disc as a confirmation key, like a BWC game does.

WT F-ING F! 🤦‍♂️

@NEStalgia 🤣🤣🤣 I think we have a winning name! Too perfect! 👏😂

@NoCode23 "S6XBOX" is all one needs in their life, lolol. 😉🤣

@NEStalgia @__jamiie Let's just go with a naming scheme that appeals to all our basic instincts, while still able to stand on par with Sony, and crown the next console the S6XBOX. 😎 😉

@__jamiie Right, and then they couldn't call the next system Xbox 4 alongside PS4, cause Xbone was the third iteration.

... Actually maybe they could have, just look at Windows jumping from 8 > 10. 🤔 🤣

Okay, MS should just call the next one "Xbox 6". Problem solved. 😂

People laugh, but bad naming conventions are a real thing, and companies need to be aware of this problem.

Personally, "Xbox One", and "Series X|S" were horrible choices, and someone deserved to get fired over that.

They should have just picked a completely different name like "Xbox Alpha" or "Xbox Cypher", etc.. You get my point; something completely different and unique to any Xbox naming scheme beforehand.

@Ricky-Spanish Yeah I appreciate the return to the setting and atmosphere of the earlier games, as they were the best. 5 is the worst Gears title. So bland and... meh.

They didn't add a single new game for the "part 3" of this sale!!!! Absolutely f-ing unbelieveable...

@Ricky-Spanish

If Sony owned Gears, it would have gone the way of SOCOM, Resistence, MAG and Killzone; into the dumpster, along with many other great, forgotten Sony I.P.s. 😢

So what exactly was added? Should've provided a seperate list. Ugh.. 🤦‍♂️

Wasn't today supposed to be the start of a Forza Horizon 4 digital sale, as well as the final 360 marketplace sale?

I really enjoyed the first one, and I'd say HB2 is as good, if not better. It's easily one of the best looking games this generation.

Despite owning many titles, I can't think of a single XB-specific game I've ever preordered prior to now, with the one exception being the Snake Eater Delta CE . 🤔 Might cancel it though, since I got the PS5 CE reserved as well. 🤔

I will gladly preorder 1st party Nintendo stuff, games with price errors, or stuff I genuinely want to play at launch.

@AdolBannings-Laylee It's a non-BWC sale, so yes, however I know of 2 exceptions; Black and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory can be bought from the 360 marketplace for the discounted price, and they'll work on XSX.

A few of the discounts STILL aren't even working, like Burnout 3 is still displaying as $10. 🤦‍♂️

Talk about totally random announcement.

Those discounts are pathetic! Let this be a foreshadowing of how much the price of GamePass will increase now that Activision is a 1st party studio. 🤦‍♂️

@Enigk They'll be "shopping like a billionaire 🎶" in no time! 🙄🤦‍♂️

I'm wondering if buying Black on 360 marketplace for a mere $1 will also apply to the version of Black on the Xbone & XSX store?

EDIT: Can confirm it appears as "Owned" and works perfectly on XSX. What a deal for $1. 😄

@TJ81 I for one am greatly looking forward to this remaster, being the massive Thing fan I am. As someone who only had a GameCube and a weak PC at the time, I missed out on it. 😭

@FraserG List isn't complete. Vigilante 8 Arcade is missing.

@Banjoisfanboy Yeah I'm too wondering if this may be a negative financial outcome for MS. 🤔 I've zero interest in COD but I'm very interested in the financial and business models of the industry, and ultimately if GamePass remains or runs out of money. It'll be interesting to see the effect but, I just have a nagging suspicion this may not pay off...

Truly then, there will be no reason to even have Xbox hardware. 😢

Expected. Cool. 🙂👍

@TheGame004 SBI...? *insert huh cat meme here. The internet has truly broken the minds of right wingers. Holy crap...

Yeah, a new chapter; one in which that Timesplitters was just murdered in the previous one... 😡 😡

Those names are also terrible. Coffee stain? Embracer's management is a nasty 💩 stain on the entire gaming industry.

@Kezelpaso It actually did get a physical release technically. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/386796602092?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=706-89093-2056-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=386796602092&targetid=1659316980137&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1002300&poi=&campaignid=17288923165&mkgroupid=135230546845&rlsatarget=pla-1659316980137&abcId=9300873&merchantid=10252592&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwrIixBhBbEiwACEqDJUNS7mVDlj76pBL_5KcqpWB0ynihqHwS7B2mxUgxhYknzhsi8UqBMRoC7dYQAvD_BwE

How about a remaster of Vigilante 8??!!! 🙏😭

@Mr_Wolf12000 I think these are GamePass sales, cause I don't see 💩 on sale. They forget not everyone subs to GamePass constantly, like myself.

Fanboys who need to base their entire identity on a plastic box, or the code running on said plastic box, are beyond pathetic.

Dear god... joining the cult of chump. Horrifying and disappointing.

@pip_muzz Maybe try playing a quality remake/remaster and experience how awesome they can be.
If I missed out on a great title from its original release, then of course I'm going to check out it's modern updated version.

Good thing I use dekudeals as my primary wish list. 🥵 What a strange glitch.

SMH... 🤦‍♂️ Good lord. The bigger issue is Microsoft sinking to low depths of using f-ing Limited Run. Remember games like Cuphead? That got a standard release. But no longer, just keep fueling the LRG fire of BS. 😡

@HunterRose I'm just learning that that New Samba de Amigo Switch title also has a VR version. 😯 That's really cool.

@Carck Nintendo never once gave even the slightest incling of an impression that they would drop out of hardware. I was there during both the GameCube and Wii U days; that was all endless speculation from writers on gaming websites, and gamers on forums speculating, all of which was completely baseless. They looked like fools then, and 10x moreso foolish now.

@InterceptorAlpha It's a shame that "Spec Ops: The Line" is one of the most generic titles ever for a game. Plus, the way it was advertised, it was depicted like your standard, cookie cutter, military TPS. Yawn... 🥱 Then one gets into it, and aside from it's solid gameplay, it's story is unbelievably awesome and indeed, subversive. The twist is completely unexpected and superbly well executed. 👏😄

Truly a shame to yet another great (and very unique) game digitally delisted, lost to the mists of time... 😭 And without any warning either. Shameful!

@Kaloudz Also, Sleeping Dogs is essentially True Crime 3. But I get it, I would like to see True Crime return, although that might have to be through Square.

@Kaloudz Well, V8 was Activision, which is now A-B, so I think it still counts? 😂

I'm still heartbroken V8 Arcade isn't BWC. 😭

@Kaloudz I will throw Vigilante 8 onto your list of otherwise wonderful remasters that would be so joyous to see. 😍
