That's the one. I couldn't say no and it was sold out everywhere close to me by yesterday arvo

[Rorschach]

Big W definitely has the best prices. Picked up a new wireless headset for $69, $89 everywhere else.

Microsoft are doing a deal at the moment where for $1 you can upgrade your account to Game Pass Ultimate (which is just a fancy name for Gold + Game Pass). For the $1 they'll combine any remaining Gold subscription and Game Pass subscription (so for example if you have 6 months on your Gold subscription and 12 months on your Game Pass, when you pay the $1 you'll get 18 months of Game Pass Ultimate). I don't currently have Game Pass but I used prepaid codes to extend my Gold subscription out to the maximum of 3 years and then did the $1 upgrade, so now I have Game Pass for 3 years. All you have to do is sign up for Game Pass Ultimate on the Xbox website, and ignore the messages about it only being for your first month, because it's not.

[Froggy]

Boom thanks Hercy that's a great deal.

[lestat]

Yeah I did that deal too, I'm good till dec/2021. 2.5 years of gold/gamepass for $1, can't argue with that.

Too Human is free if anyone is interested.

Part of the last batch of Xbox and 360 BC games coming to the Xbox One.

Green Man Gaming currently has Far Cry New Dawn deluxe edition for $30, and standard edition for $29

I grabbed Anthem on PC for $19 from ebgames over the weekend, I know the game has its problems but I though for $19 it would be fun enough to play through the campaign. I don't care for the end game content, which I hear bioware has quietly moved on anyways.

[Deef]

Just a PSA to say that if you haven't grabbed Detroit: Become Human for free from the PSN store yet, you definitely should and its month is nearly up.

Big W are practically giving away Starlink and all the associated toys. Game itself (which comes with a spaceship, pilot, and two weapons) is $19, toys range from $5 for the spaceships (which come with a pilot) down to $2 for the weapon and pilot packs.

Game supports split screen too. I grabbed a bunch, Joshua is still way too young but I'm looking forward to playing it with him in a couple of years. The world needs more split screen, co-op and backwards compatibility!

You don't need the toys either, can buy them digitally. But at this price I caved.

Steam - Dirt Rally 2.0
Base game: $26
Base + Season 1 + Season 2: $35

The base game content is a bit low with something like 6 rally locations + 6 rallycross locations, but the the S1/S2 bundle brings that up to 10 + 10 (plus a smattering of cars) and is a great buy imo, if you're into the Dirt Rally / brutal-sim style of rally game.

Seasons 3 & 4 don't get the big discounts yet.

Division 2 $4.50 on UPlay, picked it up over weekend, graphics are amazing and it's a solid cover shooter, not a huge difference over the first game but worthwhile for the price of a cup of coffee.

[Ambrose Burnside]

Had this in my cart, talked myself out of it.

Glad I did, I keep getting sucked into these GaaS things because they always sound good, and then I don't like them derp.

[Ambrose Burnside]

Alien: Isolation is $2.20 on Steam.

Kicking myself because I got it on console not that long ago for a lot more than $2.20

[Ambrose Burnside]

Lego Ninjago is free on Steam/PS4/Xbox

[lestat]

thx, nice one for the kids to play on the HTPC.

When Total War Saga: Troy launches in August, it will be free to keep on the Epic Store for 24 hours.

Hitman: Absolution free on GOG.

[Peppermint Lounge]

I liked Absolution. On its own it's a very good stealth action game but series fans who played Blood Money are unanimous in their contempt for it.

[Mavy]

You can claim the Witcher 3:Wild Hunt on GOG for free if you own it on any other platform (where you've connected the account) and have played it a little to register on the service.

Just claimed it now where the only place I 'own' it (apart from the still sealed copy on the shelf) is on Game Pass.

[t0mby]

Went through claim it last night but said you need to install GOG 2.0 on a pc or laptop and I cbf. Probably wouldn't end up playing it again anyway.

[Ambrose Burnside]

The original Injustice: Gods Among us is currently free.

It's the Ultimate Edition on PC and PS4, but it looks like it's only the Standard Edition on Xbox (Xbox 360 BC).

[t0mby]

The Ultimate Edition was console exclusive this gen on PS4. No Bone version.

Back when console exclusive titles were still cool.

[Ambrose Burnside]

I already had the standard edition on 360, so I just claimed the Ultimate Edition on Steam
