I'm kind of a sucker for pool games, and even I think Pool Nation FX is fucking terrible.

Overall pretty shitty month. JC2 is awesome if you haven't played it yet, but it's 5 years old now and dirt cheap.
I wouldn't call it shitty. Massive Chalice has potential to be pretty good, so I'll gladly save that to my Xbox One library (for when I do get an Xbox One) and I'll be downloading both JC2 and Thief since the latter I've wanted to play (despite the bad reviews) for a while now and the former due to never getting around to it (and the good reviews it does have). Free is free.

The 360 options have been pretty darn good. I'm happy to give Thief a go.

Weird that now Gears 1 and 3 have been given away, but not 2. I should really get rid of my physical copies for those 2 games now though.

Welp, I'll pick up PvsZ even though I have a disc copy (its in storage *sigh*) since I've beaten it to a pulp on my Kindle so I know it should be a quick play/100%.

GOW3, meh...and the Ones I'll save to my Library for now. Anybody know if So Many Me is decent or not?

Picked up Crysis 3 to complete my Crysis digital collection, and as luck would have it...I sold my copy of Crysis 3 physical on Half.com this week as well. It's one of those games that I don't have to have the discs for as I'll only play them in spots (and based on voting, "should" be locks for BC)

Mass Effect is backward compatible and Fable II will be soon. Assassins Creed Brotherhood and Revolution were also shown in the BC video but they're merely 50% off.

I'm actually considering getting the Fable Trilogy just for Anniversary and to have a digital copy of Fable II.

With a bunch of credit from the Golden Crisp coupons (and expecting reward points from preordering Rare Replay) I went and pre-ordered Super Mega Baseball since it's a few bucks cheaper for preorders. Seemed to get great reviews on PS4, and I guess this gives me a chance to play some sort of baseball on XBox.

I still haven't gotten an email about the $10 in points from pre-ordering Rare Replay. Did you just get an email recently?

I got 15000 Reward points a few days ago for pre-ordering Rare Replay instead of an email.

I got an email with a code for $10 Xbox Live credit (that expires 120 days after redeeming the code ) after about 15 days for preordering The Old Blood. So it seems they can do either one depending on how they feel that day.

Not yet, but since people have started reporting the 15,000 points for Reward members showing up on the Rewards site, I'm hoping I get it soon.

Looks like my Gold lapsed. What's the cheapest place to get a new code nowadays?

It looks like that is where mine got dumped as well. Since those funnel from the rewards site, do they expire?
