Xbox gold discount of the week

Options
Is it just me, or is there really no point in these "discounts". This weeks offer includes Forza Horizon 2 digital copy for £36, but the physical game can be bought for £25 from zavvi. Seems a total waste of time to check the offers when they are so much more expensive than elsewhere.

    I think they are trying to cater to people who think the Internet shopping ability doesn't exist.

    Agreed, I guess its down to the convenience factor of having the game to play in an hour or 2.

    Even offline the prices are often better than digital - don't get me wrong sometimes there are some bargains on their deals with gold, but £36 for Forza Horizon 2 isn't one of their better ones!
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.

    If you do home sharing and split the cost with a friend then it's £18, but yeah pretty poor if you are just buying for yourself.

    It is often the case where you pay more for convenience of having it there and then, rather than having to wait for the game, or anything else really.
