Futureshop has released details of its Thanksgiving 3-day gaming sale (Nov. 25th - 27th). The "Rock the Holidays with Great Deals on Gaming" event prices the Xbox 360 at $169.99, a full $100 less than the Nintendo Wii and $210 less than a Playstation 3!
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
That arcade price tag looks really good right now. Even better side by side with the PS3
add like 175 for the Live (at least if u want to play three years or more) and u just reached 345 $. PS3 is 400 $ but u got an hard drive(more than 100$ on arcade) + built in battery in controller (NiMH batteries = 40 $), free online service (dont tell Live is better than PSN coz live is p2p and psn is dedicated servers and both are good), u also usually get a game/movie bundled + wi-fi (100$on xbox) witch I would need + blu-ray so basically PS3 is cheaper or equal, at least for MY needs.
When Live will be free I might get one for gears 2 and Halo which are the only worthy games on the xbox (plus many multi-plat games like cod4...)
How can it be considered a Thanksgiving day sale, when futureshop is a canadian franchise, and canada had thanksgiving a month ago... lol
