Xbox 360's digital store heads to Valhalla with an avalanche of cheap games
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 digital store is closing on July 29 with a major sale of games, some as cheap as $1. Iconic Blade dashboard returns as a dynamic theme.
The Xbox 360 digital store is set to close on July 29, and to mark its last days, Microsoft has launched a massive sale. Gamers can purchase titles such as Black for $1, Dead Island for $0.74, Strider reboot for $1.50, Devil May Cry 4 for $2, and Watch Dogs for $4. This fire sale means that spending just $20 could provide enough gaming content for years, especially if you have a compatible Xbox 360 or utilize backwards compatibility on newer systems.
In addition to the sale, Microsoft has brought back the iconic Blade dashboard from the Xbox 360 as a dynamic theme for modern consoles. This theme visually replicates the original UI, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia for long-time users. However, one feature missing from this revival is the classic “whoosh” sound that was part of the original Blade interface experience.
This event and the return of the Blade dashboard underscore the rich legacy of the Xbox 360, inviting gamers to reminisce while grabbing heavily discounted games before they disappear. The full list of discounted games can be accessed through the provided link. All game deals and the Blade theme are available only until the store's closure on July 29, after which both will no longer be accessible.
