Welp, normally Major Nelson would have posted by now and we would all be rejoicing or cursing the weekly sales. The problem was it looks like with Xbox Live having major issues last night, we don’t get such a post. Thankfully, the people at XBLDB have detected some new deals. Among them, there are actually 2 backwards compatible titles (or should I say their DLC) that are on sale. Yep, if you love Gears of War 2 and 3 and want to play the DLC well then this week is for you. Among the other non-BC highlights, anybody who likes the Dead Island, Saints Row, Bioshock, or Borderlands series should be quite happy. If I get an official announcement, I will update the post. In the meantime, enjoy the mindless (but sometimes fun) killing of GOW.
Backwards Compatible Titles with DLC on sale
12:30 Updates
Also, we have reports that the new Doom will come bundled with the original Doom 1 and Doom 2 which are currently backwards compatible. I would have preferred Doom 3 (but I know there are licensing issues), but it’s a nice bonus for half a dozen of you who don’t have these two classic games.
2:00 Update
Looks like the Xbox Deals with Gold page has been updated. However, it’s not quite an inclusive list I believe. I am tempted to purchase the Saint’s Row IV+Gat out of Hell offering for Xbox One though.
