    It is stupid when DLC costs more than the base game.

    Sword Art Online Ali… base game has dropped from £49.99 to £12 when it was on sale previously, but the Premium pass just drops from £36.99 to £24.

    This is why GP is not as great value as it seems. All the base games go in GP, but not much DLC which always stays higher.
    It has always been this way. Most games are $5 second hand a few months after they have been released. Since DLC is not usually available second hand it holds its price. Not many people buy DLC either, so a sale doesn't benefit them as much as a sale on the game.

    Why has the few months of Xbox 360 games been around 10 games or less price drop and keep going with same games as well have seen F.E.A.R 2 so many times now but never F.E.A.R 3 which I have been waiting for since in spring.
    I would guess there's a horrible tangled mess of rights issues with 360 games. Some devs/publishers will have been acquired, some will no longer exist. For some games it won't be clear who can approve a sale. Which is probably why we always see the same games on sale, because the agreements will already be in place and I doubt anyone is interested in spending any significant amount of time on negotiating new ones at this point in the 360's life.

    For FEAR 2 the dev is a subsidiary of the publisher, so that is fairly straightforward. Fear 3 however was a different dev, and they have since been acquired by a different publisher.

    Ubisoft need to release the new DLC for FC6 seperately. I'm not paying £24.99 for it bundled with the season pass when I already own it laugh.
    This. It should be available at least on the GotY pass minus the Season Pass price.
    It's been available since 7 Dec 2022. You can get it for just £16.24.

    FAR CRY® 6: LOST BETWEEN WORLDS
    Cheers, wasn't aware it was available separate. Going to save up some more rewards points to get it a bit cheaper (might even be on sale by then).

    Lot of stuff, but nothing for me.
    Also, a bit of pissed about the latest FC6 DLC is not on sale already.
    Lost Between Worlds has only been out 1 month, and it is currently $10 when bought with the Season Pass.
    But I have the season pass already?

    Ooooh, tons of indie RPGs. Very cool!
    Any recommendations?
    Operencia is a hidden gem. The voice acting isn't the best and it's incredibly challenging, but if you're a fan of old first person dungeon crawlers like Wizardry and Might & Magic there's a lot to love. Easily my favourite RPG I've played in years.

    Rise Eternal at that price is a good grab too. Not incredible but it scratches the Shining Force/Fire Emblem itch well enough.

    why why why they never put on sale the RE3 unlock everything, always it's RE2 or Village
    I wonder if they push Village for ReVerse's monetization

    Still no sign of Nier Automata. It's about 10 months since the last time it went on sale.

    Was really pumped for Callisto but looks mediocre at best.

    Sub 40 CAD and then maybe I'll bite.

    Wow, those Alan Wake DLC don't go on sale often. Pick them up while you can!

    Yeah I had reward points ready to go for Nier for the black Friday sale, but it wasn't there. So I held out for the Christmas sale...it wasn't there either. I thought being such a high profile game that it would show up for at least one of those, but it sounds like it doesn't go on sale very often.
    We meet again, Trebek.

    It's been almost a year since Lego Star Wars TFA has been on sale. Guess I'll soon have to start considering getting a physical copy instead.

    There are games missing from this list I think, like Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3. Maybe this is missing the 'Last Chance Sale'?

    All those DLC sales and no Halo Wars 2, such a shame. I was thinking of starting Railway Empire as well so was sad to see just the one on sale. I wish there was a complete edition

    That's still way too much, you'd be throwing money away. $10 or less. I'm dead serious.
