Xbox Live sale offers several top fighers via games on demand for up to 75-85% off

There's a sale coming up on over 60 Xbox 360 games on demand titles, where their price will be reduced up to 75% and in some cases, 85%. Titled the 'Xbox Ultimate Game Sale', it's unclear which games will receive the steepest discounts, but it's worth keeping an eye on Major Nelson's Twitter account where he'll be announcing which title is on sale every day from February 26, 2013 to March 4, 2013.

Several of the community's most popular fighting games are a part of this sale, here's a rundown of all of the fighters mentioned:

• Mortal Kombat 9
• Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
• Street Fighter 4
• Street Fighter X Tekken
• Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition
• Tekken 6
• Tekken Tag Tournament 2
• The King of Fighters 13
• Virtua Fighter 5

slow news day huh? *end joke*

this is pretty cool though. night actually have a reason to get SF on my xbox

Evil_Hayato said on February 22, 2013 at 1:08 p.m.

@2 I wouldn't count on it. Its only Games On Demand. Meaning disc based games gone downloadable only.

I was waiting for UMVC3 to go on sale and it's pretty much the only one not on this list u_u

Highly recommend everyone pick up TTT2. Tons of bang for your buck!

Stay Free PS3 Fanboys

Echo01 said on February 22, 2013 at 1:19 p.m.

Might pick up TT2 in this case. Will definitely be a solid deal.

What's the actual discount on each title?

xShonuffx said on February 22, 2013 at 1:32 p.m.

Hmmm I hope this ain't a bait and switch. After the PS4 event and announcment (Sort of) Microsoft is attracting everyone to buy 360 games on demand but what happens if the Xbox 720 is'nt backwards compatable with 360 games like the PS4? That would suck. Microsoft I think is announcing stuff April.

@ 9 we won't know until tuesday probably.

I am really hoping KOF gets a heavy discount. I want that game, but can't justify spending $40+ when I am so busy.

SpicyBurrito said on February 22, 2013 at 1:47 p.m.

As mentioned above, on-demand purchases should be carefully considered in light of Sony's recent announcement. Especially with games similarly priced to their disc counterparts. KOF, for one, can be had at a similar price.

@Crondizzle
As to knowledge, Playstation plus gives you FREE games just for joining that service. Recently SF4AE being one of them. So yeah...stay FREE PP+ owners, seems like a good deal to me.
(and I play Xbox the most)

KOF13 is free to PSN. As well as arcade edition.

Nice try CronFizzle

RunningWild said on February 22, 2013 at 4:01 p.m.

Is it vanilla VF5 or VF5FS?

#17

Malesoun said on February 22, 2013 at 5:24 p.m.

I would guess that it is VF5, the sale is for GoD not XBLA and FS is an XBLA title IIRC.

Something seems fishy here...

jelaninoel said on February 22, 2013 at 8:15 p.m.

3 of these games were free on PS+. Just saying

#20

jelaninoel said on February 23, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.

Wow crondizzle is such a 360 fanboy doesnt even know PS+ users already have kof13, AE, and Fnal Showdown for free. Stay free Crondizzle

AniMoney said on February 23, 2013 at 7:42 a.m.

is sfxt the newest version? I might get that and ttt2

#22

Miles said on February 23, 2013 at 9:58 a.m.

This may seem like a dumb question but what is XBox On Demand? Does that mean I have to be online to play my games if I buy them, or is it just their branding like PSN digital downloads?

#23

sukurin said on February 23, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.

@22 sfxt only have 1 version.

If you talking about 2013 version, all you have to do is update the game via internet, and it's free.

StriderGlemX5 said on February 23, 2013 at 2:07 p.m.
