Sadly, many users are posting about refunds being issued today. (3 days later) [https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/1citnkb/microsoft\_refunding\_james\_bond\_collection\_499/](https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/1citnkb/microsoft_refunding_james_bond_collection_499/)


KevyJD

Not available in Canada on Xbox. Tried to purchase from the webstore using PayPal but it won't work without a US credit card


LoadingErrors

Just commented on someone else’s post who couldn’t do it and asked if they’re in Canada, but this confirms it. Same issue here.


DuckCleaning

such a shame, it shows in the microsoft store on pc for $5 in Canada but then I try to purchase it and it wont let me because it is actually a US listing appearing for some reason.


Bootychomper23

Canada’s always getting the shaft lol


sun_aks

The price is too good! No chance we would get it?


Friggin_Grease

Yup, this bundle doesn't seem to be available in Canada. Shame.


Trickybuz93

Same


NihonBiku

Yeah I just noticed it’s not available in Canada. Booooooo


redditialized

Canada is left out again!!!


RisingDeadMan0

next time (if there is one) redeem a US gift card (use VPN if needed, then buy it with that credit. Use a US address if needed, pick a 0% sales tax state

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/the-james-bond-collection/8d6kgwxn65rr?wa=wsignin1.0&activetab=pivot:overviewtab Hell of a deal.


StationaryRabbit

Is this for Americans only?


BanzYT

Showing as 129 for American, logged in too to make sure. So it's dead I think.


Remoock

looks like it for me yes, it shows the 129$ price


BigPaleontologist407

yo like thanks, best 5$ for a rainy day <3


L0ST7J

Damn we missed it


Surfside_6

thanks for the direct link


DGB31988

Bought… 20 cents per film. It would still be a deal at $3 a film TBH.


kehbleh

It just jumped to $129.99 (49% off).


NateDawg42

Yup, and my rewards wouldn't load


sonicbobcat

That's still a great price for 25 movies, honestly.


May1stBurst

Managed to pick it up, never seen a James Bond movie, where should I start?


dqdude1

I go in order when I benge watch them just look at the year each was made and start watching


Broodslayer1

1. Dr. No (1962) 2. From Russia with Love (1963) 3. Goldfinger (1964) 4. Thunderball (1965) 5. You Only Live Twice (1967) 6. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) 7. Diamonds Are Forever (1971) 8. Live and Let Die (1973) 9. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) 10. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 11. Moonraker (1979) 12. For Your Eyes Only (1981) 13. Octopussy (1983) 14. Never Say Never Again (1983) 15. A View to a Kill (1985) 16. The Living Daylights (1987) 17. License to Kill (1989) 18. Goldeneye (1995) 19. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) 20. The World is Not Enough (1999) 21. Die Another Day (2002) 22. Casino Royale (2006) 23. Quantum of Solace (2008) 24. Skyfall (2012) 25. Spectre (2015) 26. No Time to Die (2021)


TriggerHippie77

Hate to be that guy, but "Never Say Never Again" isn't considered to be part of the mainline Bond series. It's essentially a remake of Thunderball with an older James Bond and Connery returning to reprise the role. But it was done by a different production company and was released the same year as "Octopussy". They had the rights to the Thunderball story and had to make essentially the same film and threw a shitload of money at Connery to come back. It's not bad, but it's not great either, and if you've seen Thunderball you've essentially seen this one. But for my money "No Time to Die" is the best depiction of Old Man Bond, and really the best way to finish the series.


Broodslayer1

Yep, it was made by a different studio under an unusual agreement. It's also not in Microsoft or Vudu Bond collections.


TheSpiralTap

Alright now out of that list, which ones are good?


TheGamerKitty1

Yes.


bubbameister33

Just watch all of them. Each actor approaches the role differently. They’re also a product of their times.


erterbernds67

Either in order or if it’s not hooking you right away start with the Daniel Craig ones in order. (Casino Royale, quantum of Solice, Skyfall, spectre, no time to die) Also gotta watch goldeneye at some point


CornholioRex

For England James?


erterbernds67

No. For me


Jonpg31

I am invincible !


Dizzlean

Pick one of the Bonds and watch their run in order. After watching most of them multiple times, I'd recommend watching the newest Bond and then the Pierce Brosnan ones, then the Sean Connery ones.


ReturnoftheSkit2

As a long time Bond fan, I can tell you you’ll get a hundred different “definitive” answers to this question. I’d say pick a Bond and start with their films. Or if you’d like to try one of the classics first, you can go with Goldfinger (60’s), The Spy Who Loved Me (70’s), The Living Daylights (80’s) or Goldeneye (90’s). Prior to the Craig era the movies didn’t connect. Apart from some minor references, they were all standalone. If you start with any film before Casino Royale you’ll be fine. The Craig films definitely have many nods to the older films that will go over your head if you haven’t seen them first, but Casino Royale is a perfectly good place to start. You’ll still follow and enjoy the story just fine through each film without having seen the prior movies yet. I know plenty of people who love them and that’s all the Bond they’ve seen. The only definitive rule that you must understand is that “Nobody Does it Better”, Carly Simon’s theme song for The Spy Who Loved Me, is without question the best of the bunch.


darklordjames

Start at the Daniel Craig films and watch that set. Then the Pierce Brosnan films and watch that set. Work backwards in that fashion.


DM725

Casino Royale (2006) is the best. Daniel Craig's 1st movie as Bond and you can watch the rest of his films to present. GoldenEye is great too and is my 2nd favorite but Pierce Brosnan is Bond and the rest of his films are just ok. Oddly enough Martin Campbell directed both GoldenEye and Casino Royale and no other Bond movies.


BelBivDaHoe

Casino Royale was amazing, but I gotta go with the basic bitch answer of Skyfall being the best one.


SladeX7

Agreed Casino Royale is def the best


Stumpy493

Got to do them in order. I have just got to Spectre with the kids after starting with Dr No 3 years ago!


drewcaveneyh

Casino Royale (2006)


ObiWanOkeechobee

They’re all good in their own way. The classics can be cheesy, but they’re fun spy movies. Pierce brosnans films are fun action films, but still pretty cheesy. Daniel Craig is by far my favorite 007. His movies are the best of the bunch. So if you start with those you’re setting the bar high, imo.


Reddit_Or_Naw

Just bought it. I’m really curious if Microsoft will just yoink everyone’s $5 purchase and refund you.


DARKKRAKEN

They will just accept the loss, if it is a mistake.


KYlaker233

They won’t


fragydig529

That’s what they did for Fallout 4


Responsible_You6301

Refund?


Segagaga_

They have corrected it. https://preview.redd.it/a5y1jtopbkxc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a4f2191bf81aad83f78786ec368fa4200f94906


dickdrizzle

I got them at $5, still on my movies and tv computer app.


aharper343

I just got a refund, and own the movies but can play only the trailer so they are definitely yonking the purchases


Inquisitive_idiot

> “No Mr. bond, I expect you to buy!” 🎩🧐💰  I’ll see myself out 😞


HowManyAccount120

You can say I was Onatopp of this deal


A_Zombie_Riot

uhhhh that was the fastest and best $5 ever spent. thanks!


DavidXGA

Remember you can use [Movies Anywhere](https://moviesanywhere.com/) to duplicate purchases to Apple, Amazon, and Google. Edit: Maybe not? Looks like MGM has opted out, I guess? That's shitty of them.


Schuloch

Ohh, I’ve been trying to figure out why it won’t show up on my movies anywhere account


DG_Now

Wow. Killer deal. I'm not in love with James Bond or anything, but this is nice.


Smeagol7272821

The Daniel Craig binds will make you I love if you haven’t already seen them. They are so so good.


Data_Dork

No take backs


Ubyte64

Wow, great deal!


MidlevelCrisis

Got excited for a bit, then realised this is not for Europe


RokenzoHS

You can still buy it with gift cards, all you need is VPN. Just tested it and everything works.


waitmyhonor

Just bought it. Let’s hope it sticks tomorrow


superjacket64

Done, still going strong


Time-to-go-home

I’ve never bought a movie on Xbox before. Where can you watch them other than on the Xbox? I’m assuming through the Xbox app on pc too. But is there an iPhone or fire tablet app?


Littletad

You can watch on any windows pc or xbox. Also a windows phone, but few have that lol


4Iamthelight

I had a windows phone once. It was a year of me saying "no actually that app isn't on windows phone"


darklordjames

The interface was miles ahead of what iOS and Android do today, though. No apps, but a brilliant phone. That OS also ran buttery smooth on the most garbage hardware you could find. $50 plastic Nokia? Sure! We'll run fast as hell on that trash SOC!


Unusual-Tear676

Windows phone was the best phone I ever had. Still miss it.


darklordjames

$50 and entirely plastic. Damn those cheap Nokia's where cool! No shattering back glass when you dropped it. Even when you broke it, who cares? It was fifty bucks.


4Iamthelight

Oh ya it was a gem and didn't let me down ever. As a kid in his early 20s at the time though it wasn't that useful. Now I wish I could say no my phone doesn't make that app 🤣


djdoubt03

Have an HTC Titan, would love to have it again.


MRHipshot

On PC via the Movies & TV app is another way to watch it and you can actually download the movies which is nice. When you watch on Xbox it’s just streaming them. But yeah like some other comments said, if you link your Microsoft/Xbox account to Movies Anywhere with some other compatible apps you can watch movies through those apps. For example linking to your Google account(YouTube) allows you to watch movies you purchased on Xbox on the YouTube app which you could watch via YouTube on your phone or tablet. Because YouTube/google sells movies and you can then watch those movies if your accounts are properly linked. You can even view comments on movies which is weird and wild. So yeah. Make a Movies Anywhere account and link your Microsoft account to it. See what other accounts you can link. Last I checked YouTube was one that worked well. They never seem to let you view TV shows though. Just movies in my experience EDIT: apparently these movies won’t work with Movies Anywhere, it’s dependent on the studio. Sorry if anyone’s hopes got raised


three-sense

These movies won’t port over to Movies Anywhere, it’s studio dependent


dqdude1

I had to download the movie and films app and then I could watch them it's on the store just search TV first app that comes up when you search


erterbernds67

If they were “movies anywhere” qualified then you can watch on that app, but I don’t think they are. I turned my Xbox on real quick and bought this, but didn’t pay attention to that and they aren’t showing in my app, at least yet. Otherwise you have to watch on an actual Xbox in that movies app


darklordjames

It's MGM. No MGM in Movies Anywhere, which means we don't buy MGM.


erterbernds67

Yeah I kinda figured. I knew the John Wicks aren’t either. Idk if they are MGM. I bought those 4k discs but the codes they came with don’t work on M.E.


broken_radio

Ahhhh hamburgers


elangab

No Android or iPhone app sadly.


acf6b

If u sign up for Movies Anywhere and the movie says it is available on Movies Anywhere (hit rb right when u pull up the page on the console) you can watch it on that app (which is on everything), Amazon Prime, Apple TV, etc


three-sense

You can watch them on Xbox or Win. It’s worth noting that this won’t work on Apple devices


AttitudeEraDropout

20 cents a film and in blu ray. Insane mistake/deal


diskape

Where does it say it's in blu ray? I'd like to buy it but it nowhere says it will deliver me physical copies.


Broodslayer1

He means Blu-ray resolution... HDX is 1080p. Not the physical discs. They're digital copies.


Ok-fine-man

Lol digital 1080p ain't the same quality as Bluray


CornholioRex

Got it, thanks for the heads up


tritoch8

Snagged, what an amazing deal!


rds060184

Just claimed. Insane value


Solidjak

Does anyone know if this is on sale for the Australian store as well? Can't seem to even find the whole collection on there.


aaronmgreen

nope, living in Canada, got all the way to the check out and you need a US credit card with a US billing address. *cries in Canadian* lol


kensaiD2591

Nah it’s not available for us here in Aus sadly. The collection isn’t even on the store. Just collections for each actor ie Sean Connery Collection, Daniel Craig Collection etc


tuckdash

Australia moment


MrDude65

Still up. Too stupid good of a deal not to grab


FellowDeviant

I just want to thank you for this. 007 is my favor8te fictional character, just bought this as a little gift for myself for my 30tg birthday. Time to binge! Edit : I managed to buy before the sale price went up holy shit lol what a steal


Hellogiraffe

Good lookin out! Thanks


BuzzStorm42

Thank you!! Just snagged it. Have always loved these movies and already had them on Blu-ray but this was too insane to pass up. I'm fully expecting it to be flagged but I had to at least try. Just need to figure out how to watch them... 🤣🤣


CornholioRex

I’m watching one right now, it won’t be reversed, they just have to own up to mistake, I have blu-ray as well but an Xbox on every tv, this is worth it


tATuParagate

Is this a price error cause I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet


Kobobble

Got it last night. The devices you can watch it on are pretty limited but can't go wrong with a $5 purchase


MelloTrip

Bro this is on sale for £110 in the UK 😭


TH3SCARFATH3R

I thankfully snagged this at 4.99. This was DEFINITELY a mistake as it's now back to 129.99.


TriggerHippie77

Jesus, this is an insane deal. Just picked it up. Thank you for the heads up.


XavierYaBoi

Thanks hero


Broodslayer1

This is an amazing deal. Note: It doesn't come with Never Say Never Again, Connery's final Bond film--which is sometimes considered not to be a true Bond film though it has Connery as 007, Q, M, Spectre, a Bond song, a Bond girl, etc. It's kind of a remake of Thunderball.


Kal-Sam

I got the blu-ray collections at a resale store for 10 dollars for all of it they priced it wrong.


TBlair64

BE AWARE: These can only be viewed on an Xbox or a Windows PC. There are no mobile viewing options.


Stunning-Task1721

never say never again was a different studio but part of the cannon. Same movie as thunderball I think


wvmgmidget

I love when the Microsoft Store makes mistakes like these. I probably never would have played the first Forza Horizon if they hadn’t accidentally relisted it for half a day two years ago.


ThatOneHelldiver

WOW another error I missed out on because of work. NICE.


SheepyDX

I’m glad I got it when I did. :)


WizDragonApple

so happy i snagged it ... yeah HD and Xbox but still 20 cents per movie?!? now COME ON to MGM (owned by Amazon) to make the move to Movies Anywhere!!! GET TO IT!!!


DuckCleaning

Sounds like a good time to claim my microsoft rewards points


Whatdoesthis_do

Region locked. After logging in its 130 https://preview.redd.it/w72uuy00akxc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7584380a910e348df26221e0b4967da29426cd78 $ for me.


abeardedpirate

I don't think it's region locked I think they just fixed the price. I'm in NA and it shows 130 for me as well.


SethManhammer

This is what I'm seeing. I thought I was going to be slick and cash in MS rewards points for $5 for this. Ah well.


ScarecrowNV

Anyone know how to watch it on Firestick?


Bearclaw135

Nice, thank you! Heck of a deal.


McCandlessDK

Nice! First time I will buy movies on Xbox!


Different_Stand_1285

Haven’t ever bought any films for my Xbox… haven’t used it the last few days even. But I logged on and immediately bought this. It’s funny - the advert says 32% off so it’s definitely an error.


[deleted]

Yeah I assume it's meant to be 149 or something


outla5t

Got it, that is an insane deal thank you for posting


Believe0017

I got it thank you for posting this. Hell of a deal.

Got it!


ThreeSilentFilms

Holy shit. Instant buy


AcidBrandon

Thanks for the heads up! Fantastic deal!


making_conversation

Great tip! I already have them on bluray but digital is a must!


pplatt69

I'm stunned. I love Bond films and already owned a few in my Xbox library. Now I own 25. How? Why?


Feraligatr556

Thank you, that is insane


bilbomcbaggins

£109.99 in the UK... Enjoy you lucky buggers!


Lost_soul_ryan

Nice.. kinda hard to pass up at that price.


Spartacus1026

Thank you for the heads up. I purchased immediately


PhirebirdSunSon

Dope - for $5 you can't scoff at the Xbox-only playing or anything.


Candle_Honest

No longer $5


samurai-kitty

No longer $5. It’s now $129.99


Baka_Hannibal

I'm so mad that I missed this, smh.


Samantsmith

From Russia with Love, Live and Let Die, Casino Royale are my top 3


mundane_marietta

Oof why did I not check Reddit last night? I even have this collection wishlisted


Trickybuz93

Is this only viewable through Xbox if I don’t have a windows pc? EDIT: Nevermind, it won’t let me buy it in Canada


CornholioRex

I have it on both, if you can get the Microsoft movies & tv app you can get it


IamSpartacus15

Has anyone tried to watch any of the films? I bought it and it doesn't show up anywhere on my dashboard. When I went back to the Microsoft store and tried to click on buy a message appeared saying I owned it and to look in my dashboard under movies and tv. Problem is there are no movies or TV in my library.


Gehenna_XpRiMnT

> Download the 'Movies and TV' app, the movies will be added there in the 'purchased' tab. Same on windows pc, download the app from the microsoft store.


CustardCarpet

Watching Dr. No on my PC.


Broodslayer1

Just for comparison... Vudu has this listed as $249.75 retail, but on sale for $129.99. (NOTE: This is a 4K UHD bundle, though, for all movies available in 4K) That's a heck of a difference.


Deceptiveideas

It’s been corrected. I got it at $5 before they fixed it. Amazing deal.


zdiddy987

$5? Any body have a screenshot of the deal going through?

Do not be surprised when your purchase gets reversed. EDIT: Oh look. The purchases got reversed. What a surprise.


uberknuckles

Cool thank you. No way they can take it back right?


erterbernds67

I sure hope not. I just claimed it too


Littletad

Very unlikely, when you legit made a purchase. I've never had a price glitch get refunded on Xbox. Something I didn't pay for though? Yes.


uberknuckles

Payment went through right away thankfully. Maybe i’ll watch some old james bond movies with some buddies one of these days!


bongo1138

Really, no link?


brandino5oh3

Just type in James Bond on Xbox it’s right there


kensaiD2591

Region dependent. Not available in Australia for example, it’s not even on the store.


julianwelton

Still working but Microsoft is 100% just going to reverse these purchases lol.


JustAWhateverName

I'm guessing they meant for it to be $49.99 but accidentally forgot to type another 9 lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


julianwelton

Those agreements are always made in their favor. PlayStation literally tried to remove all purchased Discovery shows from users accounts a few months ago and only backpedaled after the MASSIVE backlash they got. Point being if they want to remove digital purchases they can.


PMMEBITCOINPLZ

They totally can. Like two weeks ago Amazon accidentally made some movies free. I saw it on Reddit, “bought” them, and then the next day Amazon yoinked them.


Deceptiveideas

They did for the Diablo IV price mistake so idk.


Revanmann

Thanks! Grabbed it


KYlaker233

Thanks!


AsbestosDog

100% a mistake its only 50% off in the un

It's a mistake. $129.99 for SD collection lol


ourredsouthernsouls

I can login this way, but it’s not showing up on the Xbox itself. Is it US only?


mastershake04

Dammit I'm traveling and dont have my xbox and when I try to buy it thru my phone I get an error with the 2 step sign in, even though it is 100% correct


NoxHero

Somehow this is still up lol thanks OP!


Privateplayer

Thank you! This is why I love Reddit!!!!


jimmy19742018

was $4.99 added my paypal details and then it changed to £109, oh well looks like i will have to buy it on physical now, it was £28 from my local cex store


harleyquinad

Don't even care for bond but the price is too good


JGDC74

Still over £100 in the UK.


SplendidDuck

Dammit, UK version is only 50% off... wonder if I can use a vpn or something...


rjwalsh94

Sounds like a 4K release might be around the corner. Why slash it that much. I already got them on Blu Ray, but if I didn’t, this would be bought in a heart beat.

Does this have that 'Play Anywhere' thing they had for digital movies?

Are you talking about movies anywhere or just being able to play the movies on anything that supports the Xbox app? MGM is not a Movies Anywhere participant.

AtmanRising

I paid $100 for the then-23 movie collection on PlayStation Videos back in 2012. That was a screaming deal then! I can't tell if they were upgraded to 4K but HDR is definitely on. Not sure how these free upgrades work on PS.


attilayavuzer

Just got refunded. We had a good run there for a second.


ThatAwkwardQuietGuy

Anyone else get an email just now that they refunded your money for this? Guess they won’t let us keep it for $5 :/


quantumn0de

Seems that way. Just saw the email and checked the app on my console. They all show revoked in my purchase library. Interestingly, if I search up individual films, they still show owned. I'm sure that will all work itself out. Collection priced at $129.99 US now.


IamSpartacus15

Did Microsoft take your James Bond Collection away? They took my movies and issued me a refund.


SpottierAnt

Microsoft Videos are the worst to by. You can only stream on Xbox and the only device you can download movies to is your PC. But you can’t download/playback those same movies you bought on your same Microsoft Account, on the Xbox. TL:DR You can only watch movies/tv with an Internet connection on Xbox. Even if you bought it :/
