I’m going through the list and I don’t see a slam dunk, no brainer buy. There are a few I’m kind of interested in but the price isn’t quite there yet - things like Halo Wars 2, Dishonored 2 - if they were at $20 I’d be tempted but for $30, eh I’ll wait.
I’ve been ranting about this forever. Usually with Destiny (I’m in the same boat as you vis a vis Rise of Iron), but others, too (Elite: Dangerous). CDPR is, as always, the best of them- last year when the Witcher collected edition went on sale, the also discounted both DLCs the same amount.
Yeah, CDPR is great at the discounts.
So is Namco this round. You can get Dark Souls 3 deluxe with the season pass for $34. Or you can buy the base game for $24, and the Season Pass is at a discount for $10. So existing owners get the same discount. And I just bought that season pass last night. Thank you Namco-Bandai!
The DLC for Saints Row 2 has never gone on sale, as far as I know (nor did it ever make it to PC). The game itself has gone amazingly low, but not that damn DLC. Grrr. What’s a cheapskate to do?
I don’t even remember that. What exactly was in the DLC for Saints Row 2?
Oh hey also, not sale related but looks like Marvel Heroes Omega is available for download.
I’ve never heard of it, but from the name it sounds like an expansion for the Free To Play MMO Marvel Heroes?
It’s the console version of Marvel Heroes. Free to play.
Ultor Exposed - $10. A few story missions, notable for having porn star Tera Patrick voice one of the characters.
Corporate Warfare - $7. I think one or two SP missions and a bunch of MP stuff. I think Jay Mohr’s character in Gat Out of Hell had its most prominent pre-Gat exposure between these two DLCs.
For a game that’s currently on sale for $2.50.
The 2 games I was hoping for aren’t on the list, nuts.
Forza Horizons 3
Diablo 3
The Diablo 3 Eternal Collection is on sale (if you have Xbox Live Gold).
Forza Horizon 3 and the Season Pass were just on sale two weeks ago, maybe that’s why it’s not on sale again.
I’m glad I didn’t wait, and got the season pass two weeks ago.
And yes, the Diablo 3 eternal collection is on sale.
So today Microsoft announced that in the near future (but not today) they will be making Halo 3, ODST, Halo 4, and Halo CE Anniversary backward compatible on the Xbone. Which is pretty cool, though I got rid of all my copies when the Master Chief edition was released. Well, I kept Reach because it wasn’t Remastered, plus it’s totally awesome.

Also note that all DLCs for all the 360 Halo games will be free.
I saw that part on CAG, that all the Halo DLC is currently free. I didn’t know it was going to permanent. That’s good to know.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - Xbox One Legacy Edition $40…this includes Modern Warfare Remastered. Seems like a great price to me.

Damn, that is a decent price. Let’s say $15 for the COD4 remake, which was going to be my trigger price on that, and then $25 for Infinite Infinite, which was going to be my trigger price on that.
The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that it’s on disc. So the disc has to be in the drive to play. I’m already rotating through 3 disc games right now (Dark Souls 3, Batman Arkham Knight and Diablo 3), so another disc game is not ideal.
In response to someone asking when the Xbox ecosystem will get gifting:
It will be interesting to see how Microsoft deals with the issues Valve has had to fight on Steam.
If you use this link you should be able to get at the relevant Free DLC (with some oddities you can ignore).

Oddly, Halo: Reach – Noble Map Pack is still $9.99. Maybe that is a mistake the store will fix?
There are currently 13 Halo DLC packs that are free and one Halo Reach pack that isn’t (currently) for a total of 14 relevant results on the link above.
Don’t ignore the “Witches & Wieners” DLC for Saints Row 3.
