I thought Witcher 2 was free to download as of earlier today? On my 360 it still says the other game is free, and I can't find Witcher 2 at all on the game store, the listing seems to have been completely removed (I guess to prevent people from accidentally buying it when it's going to be free?).

I almost forgot about Witcher 2. I'll use my 2 day gold code I got from the play & charge kit to get it.

Oh yeah Witcher 2 starts tomorrow the 16th right?

I'll prob get D4 while I'm at it as well.

Hopefully it'll let you use a 2 day code to download it, I'm not 100% sure if you can. Yeah, I think Witcher 2 GWG starts tomorrow, not sure why some websites were reporting hat it started today. D4 is great, I really enjoyed it, you should download it too. 

Got your PM but there seems to be some glitch with VGC right now that's keeping me from replying. This website is so broken, lol. Was that message actually intended for me though? I don't recall you saying anything offensive to me.

I hope it lets me too. Last time I downloaded with gold was when I used my code I got that came with the Xbox 360. I still have the 2 week code from the X1 too. I'll try the 2 day one tomorrow and let you know if I'm able to download the games.

Yeah I sent the pm. I just wanted to make sure all is good :)

Hope it works for you. Witcher 2 and D4 are both really good games. 

Yeah, we're definitely good. I'm still trying to figure out why you thought you might have offended me. I guess you were worried about our Saints Row discussion from a few days ago or something? Don't worry about that, there are plenty of others who enjoyed SR 1 and 2 more than 3 and 4, I'm not going to get offended over someone saying that they prefer SR 1 and 2. In fact I seem to recall there being another member of Xbox empire who said they prefered SR 1 and 2 one day when me and slade were talking about Saint's Row 5, don't remember who said it though.

I haven't seen gameplay of D4 but some of the images I've seen reminds me of those TT games.

I can't remember if it was Saints Row or something close to the time. Last thing I remember was agreeing with something and than that's where it felt like I thought said something I shouldn't. But it's ok now :)

It's definitely similar to Telltale games, but the movement mechanics are different, the quick time events are more challenging, and the story is bit weirder than anything Telltale has released. Very good though, can't wait for more episodes of D4.

BTW, since I know you're an Assassin's Creed fan you should keep an eye out for the funny Assassin's Creed easter egg in Witcher 2. It's in the 3rd section of the prologue area I think.

Well I'll definitely give D4 a try as long as I can get it with my gold codes. And I love Assassin's Creed. I just finished the Black Flag story not long ago on the X1 version and now I'm finishing up left over achievements. So far I'm 890g/1000g for the main game. 2 more achievements to go and I think that's pretty much done since the rest is multiplayer and dlc.

I'll try and find the easter egg. I love anything AC :)

I also downloaded the Dead Kings DLC the day it came out. Roughly 7 1/2 GB. I remember you mentioning you was going to rent the game. I'll prob start it up later today.

I'm so awful at figuring out a new name change for my gamertag. And Linchpin has been taken for years although there's no profile for it so probably from Zune or something. I wish gamertags were seperate between those 2. Maybe I should just rename my gamertag to something like Linchpintehalmighty lol

I've been wanting to change my Gamertag for ages but Microsoft charges 10 bucks for it. For $10 I can get a good indie game or even some older AAA games used or on sale. I wish they'd make that free, pretty sure Sony lets people change their PSN account names for free, and I know Valve lets people change their Steam account names for free.

Actually you'll be surprised since last I remember Sony doesn't offer name changes, even for a fee. So they're stuck with what they have or create a whole new name and start over. I wish it was free too but at least we have that option. I'm heading over to Walmart Supercenter to get a money card now :)



Linchpin on 16 January 2015

Just got back with my money card. I would have been back sooner but person ahead had like almost $200 in grocery. They didn't have many choices for Xbox money cards though :(

Looks like the $350 promotion is actually for the AC Unity bundle, not just the standard edition. Amazon just restocked the AC Unity bundle at midnight for first time in over a week and it's selling for $350. Good news, with games bundled and a price advantage over PS4 Xbox One might just be able to salvage January.

Sadly the Kinect SKU's didn't get the $50 price cut, they still seem to be selling for $500. Poor Kinect, doesn't stand much chance at all when it's selling for a $150 premium : (

Probably until they are out of stock, as it should really. 

Isn't kinect standalone $150? Dat value, unless you really want AC lol

either way, I think they aren't doing kinect bundles anymore. That's why the existing ones didn't drop price imo we will probably get one for the next holidays tho.

Not seeing it climb the charts much, hoping for it to stay top 10 or go toe to toe with PS4 for rest of the month.

It will take a few hours for the price cut to take effect in Amazon, but top 10 minimum is my bet.
