Sure enough.

Glad I grabbed it as well. Figured there was no reason not to last night so I went ahead and bought it, but never figured it would disappear.

It'll probably come back for the Weekend deals. I hope it does for the rest of you.

People are saying that their twitter account is confirming that the game will be on sale for $9, so I'm sure they will fix it soon enough. Even at $9 I'm waiting, I know I won't touch it before it's free

How is Kinect Rivals? Worth 10$ as a kids sleepover title?

My daughter used to play that Doublefine kinect game with her friends on the 360 so they like things like that if they work well.

^^ Heck yeah it's worth $10... it's a tad wonky in terms of control, but overall it's a fun title at that price.

Details about the March Update

http://majornelson.com/2015/02/18/xb...lable-preview/

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1bQ_oExgYbA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Screenshots – While playing a game, you can now take screenshots on your Xbox One console by simply double-tapping the Xbox button on your controller to capture a screenshot and pressing Y to save the screenshot. If your Xbox One is equipped with a Kinect, you can also say “Xbox Take a Screenshot” to take and save a screenshot.

Upload App – The Upload app is being updated so that you can manage your screenshots in addition to your game clips. You can use a screenshot as your background, by viewing the screenshot in full-screen mode from the Upload app, then, press the Menu button and select Set as background.

Suggested friends – With the suggested friends feature, the Friends area in home and your friends list will help you find and add friends. Suggested friends will include people you might know, so you add more friends to game with, and top community broadcasters and clip creators, so you can get more great content in your activity feed.

Sharing your name – We’re rolling out two new ways to share your real name; with all of your friends or to everyone in the Xbox Live community. You can also continue to share your real name with select friends, or with no one, if that’s what you prefer. Gamertags are still the primary method of identifying yourself on Xbox Live, but sharing your real name helps people recognize you who might not know you by your gamertag.

Tile transparency – We continue to listen to your feedback and are adding a setting to enable you to vary the level of transparency for your background images. Go to Settings -> My Xbox -> Tile transparency.

Privacy & online safety settings – We added a new setting for sharing voice search data to create an option for users to allow collection and analysis of voice data when they use Xbox – Bing to search.

Report spam – The Messages app has an added option to allow you to notify Xbox when you receive spam. You can now select a specific message, press the A button and then select Report -> Spam to report a specific message as spam.

OneGuide for Australia – Support for OneGuide will continue in preview in Australia for free-to-air TV listings.

Xbox One Digital TV Tuner in Australia – Xbox One owners in Australia with an Xbox Digital TV Tuner can now use it with the preview builds of this month’s release.

So was the update earlier today in preparation for the March update, or something else?

Got the preview update. Screenshots are awesome, but unfortunately there's no way to share them just yet.

Screenshots could be nice, I know that's the most requested addition besides background music...which is coming with windows 10 apps working in the background.

Spam reporting is fantastic, provided it works.

The rest is blah blah blah

Screenshots? I've got hundreds already on my PS4 -- mostly as a result of forgetting which button on the controller you press to pause a game or bring up a menu.

The only two things I really wanted... Halo and Lord of the Fallen... and neither from that leaked list on sale.

Ugh.

Damn, really?
I traded in my physical copy so I could rebuy it digitally. I got $30 for it and I think the Canadian digital sale price was supposed to be $26.

I was going to trade in my physical MCC copy for $30 and buy it digitally for $24, but I waited because I was skeptical of the leaked list and even more skeptical after they removed Lords of the Fallen from the sale.

Halo is on sale now.
Not sure about the US price, but CAD is $42.

Lame.
