Capcom Promotes Xbox 360 Sale Ahead Of Next Month's Store Closure

Remember Me for £1.49 that's a steal.

@UltraGuy yep i bought remember me

Im surprised it never got backwards compatibility

I spent like 30$ and got 19 games. Kinda fun. Hit those 95% offs!

@trev666 It's a shame it's not backwards compatible but Microsoft probably didn't remember Remember Me.

@trev666 I was literally about to Google if it was BC. Guess I stick with Steam version, would've bought it again if it was. I'm still hopeful for a sequel someday.

Will probably double dip on a few physical games so I can put the discs away.

What is street fighter x Tekken and where is it?

I should probably get these as soon as i can

I got Remember Me and Bionic Commando.

Resident Evil and DMC already have better Xbox One ports

MS has made no attempt to add a sales tab or even a mention of the sale anywhere on the 360 dash. Kinda stupid if you ask me, you'd think they'd at least replace that gigantic "GOLD" banner or add the sales tab back that existed when games with gold was alive.

It's amazing how much money you can make if you say something is time Limited but you're still purchasing digital things that can only be played on that one console and never downloaded again where as physical Media I can play on any Xbox 360 console

@Dampsponge pretty sure you can load up your profile on a different 360 and download everything? Thats how I went from a launch 360 to my blood red Gears 360.

Why aren't those backwards compatible?

@Dampsponge

That's not correct. You can download all your digital purchases to a different Xbox 360, it just needs to acknowledge the licences and obviously you'll need to use the same profile. I know this because I did it earlier this year when I picked up another 360 slim.

Took an age mind. The 360 online element is terribly clunky by today's standards.

@Mustoe but with the servers being shut down will you still be able to?

@Dampsponge

Once they're shut down, no I don't believe so. It's a major downside of the digital environment.

My own 360 is now offline and all my games downloaded. If it dies then that's that I guess, but the brunt of my 360 games, (as with my PS3 ), are physical so the only thing missing will be small updates.

As long as the hard drive doesn't fail you should be able to swap it to another 360 & You might be able to install updates from a USB if you can find them online somewhere

@Dampsponge

Yes that's also an option, but for 360 games? Hardly worth the hassle.

By comparison I've not lost a single game on Steam or GoG in almost two decades. This is where the digital console market needs to improve if an all digital environment is where it's headed.

@Mustoe @Dampsponge I'm pretty confident I read you will still be able to download purchased content even after the servers go down. They are shutting down the marketplace but keeping that ability intact.

@Fishticon it's a fighting game on the street fighter 4 engine I think, haven't played it in a long time. The 360 version isn't the best, missing a bunch of characters from the ps3 version and the dlc is still full price.

@Conflix

Well that's good to know if true.

I thought i'd buy a whole bunch, but after checking the list I discovered I own everything I want, usually remastered with higher resolution and faster framerates, xbox 360s will not live forever, pay a little more and future proof your collection

Wonder if you get a refund when Microsoft removes/shuts down the server for these games? It will happen one day.

@Dampsponge Exactly! 110%

@Netbean Best way future proof? Buy physical media.

They can't shutdown those servers or pull the media from servers for any reason they feel like.

@GuyinPA75 I would normally agree with you, I love physical media too, but the way things are going I'd bet my bottom dollar the next Xbox and PlayStation will not have a disc drive as standard (it's possible external drives will be sold but who knows?), Plus discs have a shelf life of a few hundred years at best depending on storage conditions, for example my dad bought CDs in the early 90s that are now unplayable due to disc rot
