*looks at Steam*

*yawns*

Looks like M$ tries to make up for their recent past

Good offers btw. If you don't have Steam, I'd recommend buying a few of those. Max Payne 3, DA:Origins, Prey, Mass Effect and The Witcher 2 are god tier games.

**Dreadclaw69**

I had Prey, but the online never worked for me. I am interested in X-Com though. Last I checked it was $30 retail.

**Rented Tritium**

Yeah, X-Com hasn't dropped nearly enough on consoles. Will be watching.

It's free on PSN if you have the subscription.

**Grundz**

Wow a bunch of fantastic....
really old games...
for more than a steam sale would generally be.....

.... great?

**mega_bassist**

Ah crap, I wanted to pick up Max Payne 3.

I'll keep an eye out for X-Com though. The demo was fun, and I'd like to play the full game.

**Sigvatr**

Finally! Hasbro Game Night is one sale!

**timetowaste85**

Borderlands 2 for $10 would be a steal. I hope a bunch of you guys got it, I bought it on release day, so doesn't help me much. If LEGO LOTR hit $10, I would have gotten it. Right now, I'll wait a bit and pick up the actual copy in the near future.

**Melissia**

Huh, looks like they're trying to compete with the Steam summer sale that starts sometime this month.

Mind you, this isn't a bad thing.

**Rotgut**

Trying to make some money off of games on demand before they switch the Xbox one, at least the prices are cheap. I ended up picking up borderlands 2 and all the DLC is ok sale this week so I'm trying to decide which DLC to get.

**Soladrin**

Will probably pick up gears judgement. Just want to see the story..

If it's cheap enough I'll get it.

Wait.. this isn't a USA only thing right?

Well, part of what Don Mattrick had been discussing was the move towards primarily digital distribution would allow for these kinds of sales.

It is a taste of what they hoped to start on the One.

**Soladrin**

Because clearly, I am from the UK.

Hopefully the rest of the prices have been updated. Nothing more annoying than trying to buy a game, but the price hasn't been amended after the sale period and you're frozen out from buying it.
