The deal is not over but part of the deal is over?
That means it's over bruh.... No free game or controller is a big difference.

Hell yeah it's a big difference.
I dragged my feet with this deal and now it's gone
Also, I wasn't really feeling Halo 5 so I went back to playing Halo 3 on MCC.
I'll try to link up with some of you guys when you're on.
Just so many games to play at the moment.
And now will probably be adding BLOPS3 and Fallout 4 and another free game from that 2 for 1 Target deal.

Been working 10 to 15 hour days to fix the site that I'm at. So I'm not on NT a lot anymore (as some of you can tell). This blows man... I'll call today and see if they'll bend the rules. Never hurts to ask... doubtful.

Wow no H3 or Reach...... I can't man I just can't. What is Discs of Tron? Games like this make it but the flagship title doesn't. Gears made it but Halo didn't. The disappointment continues
Time to really go find a 360 for purchase.

Nice. Thanks.
If you copped games on a old gamer tag do you think you can license transfer them to a new GT? Only issue is my old GT is banned so I can't log on to them. I can access them on 360 but they are still attached to my old GT.

Wow. Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider are both getting awesome reviews. With everything that's just dropped and Star Wars around the corner, it's a glorious time for gaming

damn...
Gears 3 is so much closer.
Gears 3 is so much closer.
Halo reach is on the coming soon list. Why would they launch another halo game 2 weeks after halo 5 just came out.

Paying the 110$ it should cost to get a 360 and wired controller seems easier than not playing for X amount of months.
I'm not a video game developer by any means but how hard could this have been?
They could have dropped some of this other games too. We're out here porting backgammon to Xbox one but not Halo? Is this real life?

Yea I dunno I think December since that's when they sending us the tokens for the three others..
.... It's just so close lol
From the wording it seems like if you own the games you can play it on Thursday. But if you don't own the games and brought GoW ultimate, you'll get the codes on December

If H5 was really what they said it is releasing an 8 year old game wouldn't harm it in any way. Being that H3 is "Already on MCC" what harm would putting it on BC do?
There's also a fan service aspect being that MCC H3 and the OG aren't truly the same game.
The reach part is whatever arguments can be made for and against why it isn't available now.
I don't want to argue though, no point. Legit disappointed in this console again.

Go buy this before its too late - ONE DAY ONLY: http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm
This is a huge oversimplification of an very difficult issue and a classic case of people asking for stuff but not knowing how difficult it is to implement. MS is going the emulation route so here a small excerpt which covers the issues surrounding emulation.
Virtual boy
So what about emulation? This involves running a program on the new console that effectively pretends to be the old machine so that it can play classic games. Nintendo, for example, offers its Virtual Console service for the Wii and 3DS which allows owners to download and play classic Super Nintendo, Game Boy and even Sega Mega Drive titles in their original form.
Once again, however, the problem with emulating more recent consoles is technological advance. "It was when the PS3 tried to emulate the PS2 that the increase in technology began to present problems," says developer Byron Atkinson-Jones, whose new game Blast 'Em has just been released. "Like the PS1, the PS2 had a single processor but the graphics system was a lot more complex, allowing for parallel processing, which meant it could run more than one bit of code at a time. You can emulate this on the more modern processors but you have to get the timing between the true hardware-based parallel processing and the software emulated version exactly right. And that timing would also have to take into account the differences between the territory versions, i.e. a game running on PAL or NTSC. Along with other factors that might be enough to break a game."
And timing is not the only issue – the increasing adaptability of the hardware itself is also causing problems. "It's complexity versus schedule," says Hollis. "If your emulated graphics processor is programmable (as PS3 and Xbox 360 are) that creates a huge explosion of possibilities to emulate and test – easily trillions of cases. We are talking large possibility spaces here. No way you are going to be able to emulate all the games, and do the job in a rush. If you had ten years, well maybe.
"The second piece of bad news is performance headroom. To emulate an old system's hardware in software you need a system which is significantly more powerful, I'd say ten times more powerful is a good rule of thumb. This current generation is simply not that much more powerful than the last, especially in terms of general purpose compute. Moore's law is basically over for CPUs, and has been for around five years. That means new machines do not have the power to emulate last generation in software."

I already saw that. I'm debating it. Pretty ridiculous it doesn't come. With the cord though. I don't even need a 250gb Xbox just the 20Gb.
In regards to the latter part I was not trying to over simplify by any means,I know it's complicated, but I don't doubt their capabilities to make it happen and to keep it real there are a lot of games on that list that "Don't deserve to be there" especially over Halo games.
BC would have also brought a population jump with it which is a part of why iIwanted it to happen.

Free $60 GS credit....should I get Tomb Raider throughly enojyed the first one, but felt it was too short to justify the $60 tag or get FO4...never played the FO series but I heard its long which might justify the 60 tag
