Xbox Live Spring Sale 26/3/13 - 1/4/13

[Stig]

Are todays still not up yet?

[dug]

I checked about 10 mins ago, and they weren't up then.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Tried to log in on my computer.. thanks to the FIFA Ultimate Team debacle that I eventually got sorted out, my e-mail address/account is blocked from computer access. I can't sign in with my 360 here because I don't know if it'll get banned. UGH. I want to buy games.

[Stig]

Got anyone you can trust to log into your account back home and buy them for you?

[danbot]

His account is linked to the email so it won't help I think.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Yea, I'm trying to log in and it just says it's blocked - I try to go through customer support but it tells me my account is blocked. No. Fucking. Shit.

[GODZOOKI]

Can't see the mgs games on the games tab for anything less than their original price. Where should I be looking!

Same place, but later

[Alex W.]

Weird, the previous sales were up promptly even when Major Nelson hadn't posted an update. I hope they didn't forget us, I'm eager waiting to throw more money at them.

Even tempted to get The Orange Box even though I have it on Steam.

[Superunknown]

The MGS Collection (including Peacewalker) is £15 at ShopTo at the moment.

[Alex W.]

On back order, though. Hmm.

[toythatkills]

The MGS Collection (including Peacewalker) is £15 at ShopTo at the moment.

Looking at current prices, I'm hoping for £8.99 and £4.49

[SMD]

On back order, though. Hmm.

They had stock in on Friday.

[b00dles]

I'm strangely tempted to buy a few of these just to get rid of the discs and boxes, even though I know I'd probably get about 50p for trade in of Orange Box, at the same time, I like the idea of not having the box but still having the game.

I'm clearly an idiot.

[SaintM]

Is the Fallout deal mentioned in the opening post gonna appear on the UK store?

[Padlocked]

I don't think any of them have appeared on the UK store yet.

[Padlocked]

Really?

Shit. Hope we don't miss out then.

[Guest]

Due to German retail restrictions, Microsoft aren't allowed to update their shop on a sunday

Huh? So aren't they daily deals. Does it mean we miss a deal. That MGS price sounded good.

[Camel]

Guys ...

[MrHendo]

Does that mean those games won't drop for us at all?!

[MrHendo]

Guys ...

I have a feeling you're thinking of the whole sign in with an American account thing?

If they end up coming down tomorrow at a cheaper rate, I'll be a sad panda.

EDIT: signed in with my American account and the two Metal Gears show as 25 and 20 dollars. Is this deal gold only?

[Alex W.]

Nope.

I wonder if there simply isn't a discount today and the reported sales were an error?

[Padlocked]

Seems that every region is having the same thing according to GAF.

[moosegrinder]

I think dng's gag was riffing on the fact Nintendo can't sell 18 rated stuff before 11pm because of German law.

[Stig]

If its to the 4th it may include tomorrow as well. So if we don't get MGS and others today, maybe we get them tomorrow. Also what does Germany have to do with us? Are we all under 1 European xbox banner?

[Revival]

Its meant to be Metal Gear packs, Civ Rev. L4D2 etc today and the beat em ups KOF, SSF4AE, Tekkens etc tomorrow.

[moosegrinder]

Asked Xbox support on Twitter. They were their usual standard of help IE none at all.

I was pointing out that dng was making a funny.

But now it's not so funny

They just tweeted me back saying more should come today.

[Jimmy Shedders]

Stupid question - The version of Arkham Asylum that's on sale now isn't the GOTY edition is it?
