Pretty sure we are obsessed with the cheaper price but ok :wink:

The OPs Image

It's frustrating when Xbox Live deals get posted directly from Major Nelson's blogpost and people don't bother to add the UK prices. Now you'll have to individually look up each title to find out what the discount price is.

But I already have, so now you don't:

Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition £52.79

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Gold Edition £22.00

Call of Duty: Black Ops III £45.64

Call of Duty: Black Ops III Digital Deluxe Edition £71.99

Destiny: The Taken King – Legendary Edition £36.84

Mortal Kombat X £29.99

Mortal Kombat X Premium Edition £41.24

NBA 2K16 £43.99

NBA 2K16 Michael Jordan Special Edition £56.24

Ori and the Blind Forest £8.00

Skylanders SuperChargers Portal Owner’s Pack £23.99

Tales from the Borderlands Complete Season (Episodes 1-5) £8.00

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited £20.00

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Imperial Edition £28

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Premium Edition £37.60

YOU WON'T GET THIS HOT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH FOREIGN STORES ON THIS WEBSITE.

/checks to see whether any of seanmorris100's deals are from stores based outside of the UK...








Oh.
Really?
2 years, one deal, and yet the gall to whine about some of the deals posted.
And somehow the whine is about tax evasion.

In a thread that's about a deal in the UK.

Amazing

Life is Strange is £3.81 if bought from the South African store

As dannyguk91 says "Plus with XBo if you game share with a friend games could be half the price."

That, there, is the reason to buy digital games. It costs more than the physical copy if there's no account sharing, but a hell of a lot less if you account share. Me and my other half game online together, at the same time, on 2 xbox ones but with just one digital purchase of a game and 1 gold account. How many people gaming with a partner or friend are buying two physical copies on two gold accounts, and thinking everyone buying digital is a fool?

Great informative post there Blinky.

Not for me though as I like to get hold of the physical copies and install them to HDD if needs be, but great workaround for anyone who prefers the digital copies at a good price.

please explain how it's tax evasion?

COD BO3 Digital Deluxe version was £44 from Colombia last week.

it was £79.99 on the UK Store.

Are you saying that UK tax is £35 on this game?

Didn't think so....

Why is it ok for companies to make stuff abroad and sell it in the UK but not ok to buy from abroad to get the cheaper prices... If a product costs the same price to make but sells for 400% of the price else ware I don't see the issue of it. Especially when said product is made by poor people being exploited so top collar can get bigger pay checks.


Anyways that's my justification for using key sites!

I bought the rare reply on the weekend on xbox store, but none of these seem like interesting discounts, still heat for the info!

I hear what you are saying but:
Both games you mention are EA so use your EA access to get 10% off the digital list price.
Buy a £50 Xbox Live voucher for around £42 on CD Keys - the price fluctuates, sometimes its cheaper to buy 2 £25, etc, sometimes you'll pay £44 but you still get around 15% discount. Use this to buy the game at pretty much the physical price and then game share. No resale value but for me, I usually hold onto a game until its worth pennies anyway.

about same at columbian xbox store.. reselling see.. reselling a game means the game creators are losing out on the money, where a digital collection most will go to developers and it saves you shelf space only you can run back and play any time you want without realising you got a measly few quid back on it from CEX.

Plus with XBo if you game share with a friend games could be half the price.

tales from borderlands fair enough. 1 deal. 52.79 for batman trolololol. oh deary dear. You could change the title to Nintendo eshop discounts and nobody would know the difference. heat for borderlands. :sunglasses:

Ori and the Blind Forest £8.00
Tales from the Borderlands Complete Season (Episodes 1-5) £8.00
Life is Strange Complete Season (Episodes 1-5) £8

Best deals for me, rest is overpriced.

and not one deal was present

Special Offers? You're joking, right?

Comparing the prices for DLC games, which has no media, no packaging, no actual transport costs with a physical copy from an online retailer, then then it's a no-brainer where to purchase from.

It might be just me that thinks this, but I think some of the prices on 'Xbox Live' are a freakin' joke/insult to anyone's intelligence.

Haven't the time to spend checking all the games, but for instance, two of the games I've been looking at recently:
PLANTS Vs ZOMBIES GW2 (Standard) - £54.99 (Xbox Live) - £42.00 Amazon UK) - (£50.32 Amazon FR)
STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ (Standard) - £54.99 (Xbox Live) - £41.99 (Amazon UK) - £37.01 (Amazon FR)

Probably cheaper elsewhere, but just a quick search with the usual suspects would save approx £31 if you bought both games.

Also, if you want to sell/swap a game when you've had enough of it, this can be done with a physical copy, but I haven't yet found a way to do this with DLC games.

Any takers?

Have I missed something? Hot for this?? Call of Duty: Black Ops III @ £45.64 and NBA 2K16 @ £43.99, these price are way too high, you can get the DVDs of these games for less than 40.

Why is this hot? There's no deal

Also sick of the amount of 'deals' that are 'win blah blah...' That isn't a deal it's a competition how can that even be a deal

lool every game a freaking bump

what a waste of money for digital xbox store games, Microsoft will transfer your money into the USA Microsoft corporation ACCOUNT!!! IF YOU THINK microsoft corporatioN will pay tax uk the reason you are buying from xbox UK store,so buy DVD version of the game,fROM asda,tesco ect, microsoft corporation still will pay tax,,by the way i have £90 money in my xbox account i think i wont be able to spend it because of price !!!!

I have heard some real rubbish spouted on this site however I won't pick out anyone in particular but comments regarding tax evasion and piracy are absolutely so far off the mark and removed from reality I struggle to comprehend how anyone can even sit and type it out.

This is more than simple tax and straight up price gouging in some regions.

I wish I could see how big my ignore list, it grows every day with the stupidity displayed on this website.

Thanks for getting the prices - the only problem with finding them is I'd have to sign in to see them, and I've already bought some of the titles so the prices wouldn't show for them (it only shows 'Already Purchased')
It's annoying, I know!

can someone explain how to buy items from different country stores I'm confused.

it's not even cheap they are selling lego batman 3 for £45 it's only £15 in shops. plus many more are cheaper elsewhere. cold

How is this even a deal most of the prices are more than they would cost to buy from anywhere else even with the so called ms discount!

Is 'life is strange' reduced in the UK like in the USA?

That's not how it works. This isn't playstation.


XD. Stupidest thing I've heard in ages. Where's the dislike button?
Spend some time in the real world where the vast majority of people have to watch their money/make it stretch and can't afford to pay over the odds for goods. Digital goods at that.

I think there's a stark difference between a billion £ corporation evading paying tax throughout their life and an individual not paying a few £ on a digital game. If you can't see the difference then you truly are bonkers.

And don't even get me started on your piracy comment.

And here's another one....

OP, thanks for the deal, but you're supposed to post the sale prices.

Not sure what those huge numbers are after each title, but they're probably confusing people looking for cheap games.

any games that cost more than £5 is not a bargain for me and this one doesn't even have one on my category ☺☺☺

£56 for a computer game is not a deal

Nice. I got Ori for £2 and Life is strange for £7 off Russian store earlier

You missed the one I've purchased:

Life is Strange Complete - £8

Bargain!!

YOU WON'T GET THIS HOT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH FOREIGN STORES ON THIS WEBSITE.

Theres tax evation and then you have microsoft charging double price on some games to uk than usa. not just 20% more.. if you buy something from an international market place its not subject to tax

Amazing

Arkham knight (normal version) doesn't appear to be working

:disappointed: US.

Sorry but I am one of those people who like to keep everything on one account. Don't want to risk losing the US account and all my purchases.

good find op, heat

Ori and the Blind Forest, such a beautiful game!

Less than a tenner from India....if I could just work out how to buy it from there!

​Thank you :smiley:

Some good prices that. Tempted with AW for like £15. Any point getting this now i have BLOPS3 and liking that?

Was tempted with COD but it's still £10 more than a physical copy even with the discount.

Haha just noticed it was in dollars lol. :laughing:

For how long will this deal be on??
