I'm tempted by Alien, but you can't get the Nostromo stuff digitally, right? I've been waiting for an eventual "GOTY/Ultimate" bundle for that reason.

The Last Survivor and Crew Expendable add-ons are both available for individual digital purchase. I'm not sure if they were the only Nostromo add-ons though. I think they were. I still haven't opened my Nostromo edition yet...

Yes, they're both available individually for $3.99 each. The other DLC content is just survival maps that are completely unnecessary.

Halo looks like a great deal, but I already have it. Not too interested in anything else; wish there was a small discount on Destiny DLC, as that might have actually got me to resume playing it. Lara Croft is tempting, but I'd just be playing it alone and i'm not sure if that hurts the experience since this one seems to be even more co-op focused?

Thanks for the info, guys. I should have just checked the marketplace before asking the stupid question in the first place. Knowing that the Nostromo DLC parks are available so cheaply AND that the season pass is pointless, I'm more inclined to bite on this, especially since I'm finding myself on the X1 more and more lately. It's almost like I'm back.

Quick video question. Just bought big hero 6 and we watched it under my account (which I purchased it from). My wife went to pin it on her account and it's not there. So I asume its only for my log in? Not a huge deal but is there a way around it?

Styx: Master of Shadows didn't make it on that Ultimate Game Sale list (probably because it's at the very bottom). If the screen grab is accurate, it'll be 75% off for Gold Members.

Screamride looked like an awesome must buy...until they announced its $40! I figured $14.99 maybe, but $40 is insanity. Hope it goes free quickly.

Well, not the Wicked Weekend deals, but that's not too surprising. Picked up Lords of the Fallen and Styx. Debating on Sniper Elite III since a Deluxe Edition is coming soon and that might be a smarter purchase (especially considering I still have V2 to play for free on the 360). Some part of me wants to get Angry Birds Star Wars since it's 80% off, though on the other hand, I'm not that eager to buy it since $10 still seems awful pricey for an Angry Birds game.

What's included in the Shadow of Mordor Season Pass? New areas and gameplay? Because every bit of DLC I've come across so far is like new runes and costumes and I certainly don't want or need that shit.

It looks deep enough to be a $20 purchase for me... but $40 is nuts.

For the price think I might scoop up Kinect Sports Rivals, don't see it hitting that price at stores even on BF this year.

Neither Lords of the Fallen or Halo are on sale yet. When does. This officially start?

Lords of Fallen is most definitely on sale. I bought it for $9 last night. The Weekend deals probably won't start until Thursday night at a guess.

I saw it at that price last night but wanted to get another Live card today to buy it. I did so this morning and now it isn't showing on sale.

I can't see my price for that one now since when I sign it it says "Already Purchased". But the other games I didn't yet buy are still on sale. Did you sign into the web browser to check price?

I was checking on the console itself. Will peep the website.

I also see the sale is supposed to start the 18th so maybe that was part of it.

I was wondering the exact same thing, and also whether the extra content was worth another three bucks.

You could download it to your console, but my guess is that she still couldn't "see" it from her account. Not sure if there are hacky ways around that.

That was from the Aussie website, where it's already tomorrow. As I said, I can't confirm the Lords of Fallen price, but everything else I've checked is on sale as described yesterday.

It's absolutely playable in single-player mode. Maybe less challenging, maybe less fun. But still absolutely playable -- you don't even need to do a lot of character-switching a'la Lego games.

As far as the Season Pass content : I don't know. Haven't tried that stuff yet. But it's only $3 and it'll probably never be cheaper than that to purchase separately. It's a few extra tombs, extra costumes and the like.

Last night I finally received my free month of Live from Halo.
So if you didn't receive your code in the first batch maybe now is your time.

I've been meaning to throw down 20 bucks for the GOT season pass, but it almost seems worth it to pay $55 for the Telltale collection. It's a little blind-buy-ish because I've been holding off till I start GOT episode 1, but I'm a big fan of the show, and I enjoyed playing TWD episode 1 on 360 so it's not that much of a stretch.

Shadows of Mordor is already $30 on disc at Amazon so I may just go for the season pass there.

Thanks! I think I'll bite. And yeah, the bonus is just chump change. Extra tombs are what I'm after, but heck if I haven't been enjoying the muddy costume in the regular Tomb Raider.

Confirmed elsewhere that Lords of the Fallen was removed from the sale. At least for now.

Really glad I grabbed it last night.
