[Shino]

Good deal on Shadow Complex. Got it when it first came out for 1200 points, but I'd advise anyone to get this awesome xbla game.

[Debonair]

was going to grab shadow complex anyway... but now I'll get it at 800 points for sure! thanks op!

[the_fm]

i guess i'll have to buy more points then

[Firestorm]

Looks like I'll be grabbing Shadow Complex. Maybe The Maw.

get the Maw. really good game

[belowzeros]

come on castle crashers...


but damn no more check back everyday for our promos, my head is gonna explode with all the stuff i gotta keep tabs on this year

[FoxmanFX]

Darn! I already bought the Maw. Awesome game, my kids love it.

[sweetvar26]

Same here, I will buy Shadow Complex and might buy Maw.

For those who bought Maw, is it worth a look for a 22 year old or is it more of a kids game?

i'm 26 and enjoyed it. it's a cutesy game of about 5 hours (there's a DLC for it too). try the demo

[LIVE DEREK]

I am glad that I got the Sears screw up and picked up 2 2800 points for $40.

I have lots of points and hopefully on boxing day will be getting a new 360 with a larger HDD.

Anyone who likes Metroid or Castlevania should pick up Shadow Complex without a second thought.

One of the best games this year..........and not just on LIVE but compared to EVERYTHING on any system

\

[Chopsuey2030]

Bingo! Shadow Complex hit the right price. As good as everyone has said this game is, I just couldn't justify paying full price when I know it would be on the Deal of the Week sooner or later. Not with the giant backlog of games sitting there. Thanks OP!

[Marus92]

Thanks OP

Dito, except I got a few more :D

I will definitely be picking up Shadow Complex, maybe The Maw.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

[jayare]

I'll definitely be buying Shadow Complex, been waiting to try this game for a while.

[bibowski]

Shadow Complex was AWESOME. Same voice actor for the main character as in Uncharted (which is a good thing).

It could have been a $29.99 budget title and would have been more than worth it. Very metroidvania'ish, but I love all of those games.

Thanks man, I will try the demo out first.

I'll try to keep this thread updated but I know some of you guys are gonna be faster than me. So feel free to post away and I'll just update the first post as we go along.

[iLLNESS]

you know you can go on live, download a trial game, hook it up to your computer, hex edit it and run every single xbla game on your jtagged 360?

heh. another benefit to people who scooped those up :)

Jesus. What kind of a douche do you have to be to pirate something by 3 guys who worked their asses off for a year to make something that could or couldn't make them enough money to get by?

[IntrepidRT]

Thanks for costing me 800 MS points when Shadow Complex goes on sale :(

[Peroxide]

Jtagged 360 the same as a 360 with a flashed DVD drive?

Not at all. You must have an xbox which hasn't been updated since summer and you have to have soldering skills and other things, it's not really feasible right now.

All that trouble for an xbla game? How cheap are you? Just wait until your parents start charging you rent...then you'll be glad you saved that $10.

Today's (December 19) deal is Worms 2: Armageddon for 400 MS points (normally 800 MS points, so 50% off).

I just downloaded this, I don't understand how this is a premium theme, its got the same old appearance in your friends list, nothing new except for the wallpaper, unless I am not seeing something specific.

[Jouvert]

Yeah, Microsoft went cheap with this "premium" team. But free is free.

[tamstamstams]

I just downloaded this, I don't understand how this is a premium theme, its got the same old appearance in your friends list, nothing new except for the wallpaper, unless I am not seeing something specific.

In the preview picture for the theme, it does show different backgrounds for your friends list, but the theme itself does not contain them. Usually Premium Themes are at least 10mb. So when I saw that the download was a measly 2mb, I knew it was lacking some of the Premium flair. Ah well. Free is free.

[FasterFox]

Just picked up Shadow Complex..Thanks OP.

So when I saw that the download was a measly 2mb, I knew it was lacking some of the Premium flair. Ah well. Free is free.

According to Major Nelson this was some sort of screw-up. I you follow him on twitter he says:


If you downloaded yesterday's non-premium theme for free, you can go back and re-download the premium one for free once it's been replaced.

Source: Major Nelson on Twitter
(http://twitter.com/majornelson)
So there you have it - what we got was a non-premium theme.

[mwatcher]

I'm confused, do we actually need a Gold Membership to buy Shadow Complex?

[Jouvert]

There's some confusion about today's (December 21) deal as even Major Nelson doesn't know for sure. According to him it's Avatar Golf for 200 points. But it's for US/Japan only.

If you click on the link below though it shows up as only 160 MS points. If you can't buy it with a Canadian account I suppose you can create a U.S. account and try it.

Direct link:
Avatar Golf (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/00000001-0000-4000-8000-0000585502d8?cid=SLink)

For the non-US deal I heard that it's supposed to be the Lips song "White Christmas" for 80 MS points (normally 180 MS points). This is unconfirmed though. I'll post if I get anything concrete.

[Jouvert]

I'm confused, do we actually need a Gold Membership to buy Shadow Complex?

Yes, a Gold membership is required for the Xbox deal of the week. You can always get a one-month Gold membership or create a new account on your Xbox and get a free one-month Gold membership (I believe you can only do this a total of five times though).

[tamstamstams]

According to Major Nelson this was some sort of screw-up - what we got was a non-premium theme.

Thanks for the update! Really appreciate it. :D Happy holidays!

[Jouvert]

Okay, I finally was able to get in front of an Xbox 360. Today's (December 21) deal is the Lips song: "White Christmas" for 80 MS points (normally 180 MS points). I can't find a direct link this time but the deal is available right now through your dashboard.

Also available today is Avatar Golf for 200 MS points for US/Japan accounts only. However it's showing up as only 160 MS points in the link below.

Direct link: Avatar Golf (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/00000001-0000-4000-8000-0000585502d8?cid=SLink)

Finally, Shadow Complex is available this week (December 21-December 27 ) for 800 MS points (normally 1200 MS points) for Xbox Live Gold members. Whew!

[Jouvert]

If you downloaded the free New Year's Premium theme from 20th December, then go ahead and re-download it (check your download history). The PROPER theme is now available.

On a related note Major Nelson said he won't be updating what the deal of the day is on his twitter account until after 11 a.m. now. Plus the dashboard's deal of the day has not yet been updated either. It'll show up later. I'll update the thread when I hear something.

[Jouvert]

Today's (December 22) deal is the movie/Zune video "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" for 80 MS points available through your dashboard. "Enjoy" this cult-classic, campy horror flick.

What is it supposed to look like, i redownloaded (from download history), it looks the same as the one i got on the 20th?

[omote]

It basically looks the same (same background) but there are new years themed objects next to your friends instead of the generic xbox objects.

I disagree, 2 free things so far, Worms Armageddon was a great buy in my opinion and Shadow Complex looks amazing, I will be getting this later on in the week.

Today is a dud, I agree, but so far I've been satisfied. I'm just hoping there's more good ones to come.

Worms is a great game I agree and it is still at the reduced price, but other than that the glasses were something like 40 points, we got them for free I did not even bother with them but if you like it by all means get it. The theme is okay but we normally get those for free anyways without any kind of big boohoo deals, we were getting the Canada day themes, avatars etc. This movie today is like a slap in the face. It is not even a movie that you would sit down with your kids and watch like a Christmas movie or anything like that. Yesterday's deal was a song for the game lips. I talked to some friends on Live last night and they were disappointed with the Golf game they got then I told them what we got they almost fell of their chair from laughing.

What kind of numb nuts came up with the idea to include this movie we got today into a Christmas deal?

I was really hoping to see some discount on some Games On Demand games or more deals on Arcade games like the Worms2 one was, instead of useless crap like what we are getting lately.

Just my opinion.

[PedleZelnip]

Yeah Worms was good, but SC is the deal of the week, not the deal of the day promotion. So far aside from Worms the deals of the day have been a joke. Avatar accessories (which should be free anyways), themes (which should be free anyways), an indy game, and a movie nobody's heard of.

Actually the indy game was US only yesterday we got a song for 80 points for a game called Lips yesterday.

[Roke87]

Picked up worms and both the freebee's so far, not the best deals but that was expected, oh well hopefully more good stuff to come!

[Jouvert]

Today's (December 23) deal of the day is Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for 560 MS points (normally 1200 MS points). Have fun!

If the rest of this list holds true then I'll be getting UNO RUSH, The Secret Of Monkey Island, Magic The Gathering, Braid & Battlefield 1943. I wish I had known about the points card screw up at SEARS a few months ago. :( Glad I paid off my VISA last month.

Let me get this right..... The U.S. and Japan get the avatar golf game and we get Lips song tracks? Then Portugal gets REZ HD and we get Killer Clowns movie? WTF!?!?

Heh. Just to add more fuel to the fire, the US got a completely different movie than us yesterday. They got "Stargate: Continuum" for 80 MS points. So keep your fingers crossed that the list holds true for Canada.

saweet been holding out forever for Castle Crashers

Damn, I really hope those deals are legit too. If so, I am definitely grabbing Monkey Island and Castle Crashers.

Dumb question.

What is the difference between Uno Rush and the Uno I already bought a while back?

Even if they screwed up the price, they usually refund it back, happened to me couple of times before and on top of it they add another 400 points or something, with my past experiences.

Today's (December 29) deal is the Zune movie rental: Stargate: Continuum for 80 MS points (Standard Definition).

From my understanding it's regions that don't have a video marketplace that got discounted Live Arcade games instead of movies. Hence we would have gotten Rez HD, Magic: The Gathering and Braid instead of the movies we got if Canada didn't have a video marketplace.

fair enough and, to answer your question I did search around and I found that virtually all points cards are the same price.

I assume there is little to no mark up on them, hence, it's tough for individual retailers to put them on sale.

Also, I suspect Microsoft might regulate what they can be sold at, (much like Apple's tight control on the Ipod's).

I did see some points cards on for a few dollars off here and there but, essentially we are paying approximately .01355 and .01485 per point, regardless of where you buy it from. Therefore, for the easiest, most practable solution, just buy online and you don't even have to leave your home.

For real? They actually have it so points bought in a certain area doesn't work in an account for another? I don't understand why they would do that, anyone know a reason?

I mean I knew US cards came in 1600 increments, and ours were 1400, but I just assumed that was to correct the currency diff. S they could both worth $20 in each country, and then all games would be worth the same amount of points in both countries, and therefore we would be paying slighty more for the same game but it generally makes sense that they do that.

But that blows my mind that they are not able to be used on an account from a diff country. I'm glad I never bought any cards south of the border.

Yeah, it's an updated port of an older game, but still plays great if you can get into a game. They were short servers when it launched, but it's starting to happen again (possibly due to Bad Company 2 coming out?).

It's only 560MSP, for what it's worth, but the deal does seem to be Gold exclusive. You do need Gold to actually play the game, since it's online-only. I was considering it regardless, since I might play it later. But I guess that's not to be for me and my Silverness.

I rarely buy stuff from the marketplace, and with all the comments about server issues, lack of support, etc, I'm not willing to stock up on points just to get this deal.

Not to start a flame war, but when I want to buy a game on PSN, I can charge my CC only the exact amount of the game I'm buying. Wii and 360 need to do this too.

I totally agree, but I still purchase a fair bit of XBLA anyways (my sons love the casual games).

Do you actually have the game or do you just read old posts about the issues? I have the game and I play it a lot and have not had any problems since the launch week. I bought the game the 1st day it came out. Well worth the 1200 I spent on it. I have played countless hours and will continue to do so.

No such luck here with MTG, both via the console and the xbox.com marketplace--even with a 48h gold membership trial. Might your account be within the free month of gold offered on sign-up, or were you only able to purchase the holiday deals, which as I recall were not gold-exclusive?

Ah, could have been that.. got in on some of the holiday deals, and Keflings (for the kids) last week, but between those entered a new gold subscript, and forgot. Sorry for the confusion.

[Captain Snazzypants]

This is RFD... You buy points online for full retail price instead of buying cards with 20-25% discount when stores do sales? :lol:

Battlefield 1943, while simple and having a few issues, is a great game. I paid full price and I think it was worth it.


Yeah, I'd be more ticked off about having to buy Xbox points and their increments, but the fact that I usually buy them with a 25% discount from retail stores helps.

I am new to 360 (and the still bizarre concept of having to pay to go online) and wanted to know which stores tend to have sales on XBL point cards? And how often?

not often, but it does happen from time to time. not sure if its dead or not, but the RCSS had 2800 points cards on sale last week.

and as bizarre as it is for the $4-5 / month for the service, its a lot better than what PSN is, and if you can't afford $4-5 / month, you shouldn't be gaming. and just wait till PSN decides to charge for some of its services.

Maybe convenience wise (cross game invite, party chat), but as a person who's had live for 2-3 years and just stopped paying for it and got a PS3... I'm not missing it.

Also this is RFD, we are looking for the cheapest way to play our games while saving money. It's not about paying $4-5, but saving $200-$500 over a console generation. For me that's 1 full priced game a year or better yet That's 5-6 games a year that could be bought for $10 or less these days.

Sorry for the rant, but i just hate seeing that "if you can't afford live you shouldn't be gaming" crap everytime somebody talks about psn, pc gaming or wii in comparison to live.

The graphics are awesome, and it's a decent port, although it's much shorter than the SNES/Arcade versions (less levels.. I don't think they even had a technodrome). They also tweaked the boss battles (no Rat King, only 1 version of Shredder at the end, some mud monster instead of Slash, etc.)

Great deal for 400 pts though, and it's a good blast of nostalgia... but it doesn't live up to the original.

although i did buy a 1400 card from RCSS for $15 during that sale....

I never believe that remake of games lives up to the original anyway...

It's shorter than the SNES version, but the same as the arcade. The arcade version didn't have the technodrome or hoverboard level. That's why it feels shorter.

Re-Shelled is the arcade remake, not the SNES one. IMO the arcade version is MUCH better and would love a relaunch of the original but w/ some 4 player XBLA online support.

Ah, thanks for the correction... I honestly can't remember the difference, and I thought they were pretty much the same back in the day.

At any rate, it's a no-brainer to get it at 400 pts... but those who remember the SNES version might be slightly disappointed.

I agree that for 400 pts you still can't go wrong

For those planning on buying the TMNT re-make, just to let you know that the people on the IGN Boards who bought it last summer HATED it with a passion. They said it felt generic, the characters weren't distinct (save for the colour of the bandana and their special attack) and it was an overall lame experience. IGN also rated it 5.9.

Just FYI.

The people who will derive the most pleasure out of this game will be those who fondly remember playing it in the arcades/SNES. I didn't think it was a lame experience at all, especially if you play with a group of friends who grew up playing the same type of games. Maybe it's not as good as Castle Crashers, but calling it "lame" is a gross overstatement.

.... kids these days....

[xbl_sucks]

Turtles was a blast for the SNES I loved that game so for 400 MSP I was like WTF might as well get it and it's 200 more gamer score. I have heard terrible things about that Invincible Tiger game. Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a must buy paid 1200 points for it and it's worth every cent I paid.

Log in to Xbox.com using your email and password that are linked to your gamertag and then pay the download over the computer and when it will download it to that console. I don't think you can flash drive it or memory card it since it's 500+ MB and xbox doesn't let you do that other wise I would borrow my buddies Double Dragon XBLA game

The people who bought and played it were mostly in it for the nostalgia factor (many of the people who post at IGN are in their late 20's and older).

Like I said, I haven't played the game so I can't offer my own personal opinion. I'm just giving people insight and some feedback based on other people's opinions. From what I've heard and read, the feedback has been largely negative.

[coolteam]

I don't like this version...it's practically the same with online mode but i enjoyed the PS2 version where you had to unlock a quarter of the roster...

[ShruteFarmer84]

Skip getting TMNT Re-shelled. If you loved playing the SNES this one doesn't feel anything like it. It got bad reviews for a reason. I thought the game was going to be so much fun but it turned out to suck. I tried playing it again yesterday and had 4 people to play it with and turned it off after three levels. After it came out I could never find a game to play with anyone until yesterday.

Go get TMNT 2 Arcade game on for 400 points because it is way better. Way more people still play it.

[Duuuuude]

If you have young kids like I do, TMNT Reshelled is a must-buy. My sons had a blast playing it last night. It really isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be! Most of the reviews and opinions were based on an 800msp price. For 400msp, I am sure there would have been a better initial response.

Especially since most of us buy our points cards at 20-25% off! :D

According to a recent tweet (http://twitter.com/georgeb3dr) from 3D Realms' George Broussard, Duke Nukem 3D (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410901/?of=7) will be next week's Xbox Live Deal of the Week. Already pretty cheap at 800 MS points, Broussard says the game will be reduced to a mere 400 MS points. That's 39 levels, online multiplayer and the nifty rewind feature, which lets you rewind to a safe point in the level upon death.

I don't know if I'd say 800 is pretty cheap for a retro game, but 400 is just about perfect. Definitely worth it at that price.

And for those thinking about BF1943 -- fair warning: the lag in the game is abysmal at times. I picked it up during the boxing week sale and played it last month. By the end of my time with the game the lag was so bad I couldn't even control my character. And I was not alone, I regularly had conversations with friends/other people in game who were experiencing the same problems.

Wow a great game at 800 points I think I will never buy a full price game again.

Is this really worth getting? I am old enough to remember the original release from 1994 or 1995. I can't imagine what would make this game compelling today in 2010, with so many better games out.

People don't really buy these for graphics I bought it for nostalgia purposes only. The game is not the best and looks like 1994 but it's a good pickup for people who missed it. Now only if I can get Redneck Rampage or Postal on XBLA I would be happy

"Eat s*** and die!"

As for postal, that would be awesome, but there's Postal 3 coming out:


Postal III is an upcoming third-person shooter video game in development by Running With Scissors. It is the third game in the Postal video game franchise and is scheduled for release in North America in 2010 for Linux,[2] Mac OS X,[3] Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360.

Perfect Dark for 800 points!!! MARCH 17!!! DAY ONE PURCHASE

[Vinman]

No more On-Demand games or DLC for this cat - MS and their "partners" have deleted/removed/hidden/cancelled too much stuff I previously bought or was going to buy, thereby orphaning the games and ruining the online component, even if you do lease it.

It's been REALLY bad the last few months, and my trust in this "temporarily lease your games for money" system is about at zero.

Download history is your friend. A pain in the ***** friend if you download a lot, but a workaround.

There's been an occasion though where they had deleted the NFS girls of prostreet dashboard, and I couldn't find it in my history.

BUT, I remember when they closed the L4D demo, they deleted it from the marketplace, but it was still in my history, I downloaded it again and it still played fine.

EDIT: You were referring to the MUA2 plug pulling weren't you? Well that wasn't microsoft's fault. But I know what you mean. Nevertheless, playing a game from HDD like an arcade game has it's appeal.

[xbl_sucks]

Glad to see Beautiful Katamari for $24.99 on games on demand a great fun game. I sold mine for $40 to a guy who said it was "rare"

Terrible DoTW for the next 2 weeks why can't we get better stuff?

[Vinman]

Download history is your friend. A pain in the ***** friend if you download a lot, but a workaround.

Sorry, but that's no workaround. I may be able to download it again, but what about others? What if some friends want to buy MK to play, and I grab it one day and it's gone the next? That's money down the drain.

Same with the scenario around MUA and MUA2 DLC - and I know it's Disney's fault as they had the standard opt-out from the Marvel purchase - you cannot play online with someone using different DLC than you, and without the "free" compatibility packs being available, it's almost impossible to get a 4-player game going.

My problem is not the fact that I have to go to my Download History to DL it again, it's that no one else can ever download it again, thus killing online play.

I'm just saying NO to digital downloads and DLC - much easier and less expensive that way.

These are all valid points and I understand.

But I would argue that if dealt with properly, online DLC is superior to disc based stuff for online multiplayer longevity. Just because disc based games will disappear from the store shelves and eventually that will be hard to find. Online DLC can be easily available much longer, ideally speaking.

I don't understand pulling DLC from availability and that is dumb. The work has been done to create the game / intellectual property and they should let people buy the content and pay for it as long as they choose to into the future.

[Kurtz7834]

I remember Duke Nukem from 1995. I thought it was a Doom ripoff back then, although fun to some degree.

I tried the demo and man, it has not aged well. Graphics are terrible and it's just slow and boring. I would say 'pass' on this one guys, not worth 400 pts.

XBox Live and the vendors need to drop prices of the games and/or have more frequent sales on non crap stuff. They need to figure out, like Steam has, that by charging lower prices you will likely make more $ as far more people will be buying, particularly on older and low demand stuff. Win for the vendors, win for players too as more people will own the games and be playing online.

Playstation Network also has more frequent sales and better stuff on sale I find.

[sprung]

Great article in Wired here (http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_duke_nukem/) about how Duke Nukem Forever died on the vine 'cause they kept trying to put the latest enhancements into it.

"But because the technology kept getting better, Broussard was on a treadmill. He’d see a new game with a flashy graphics technique and demand the effect be incorporated into Duke Nukem Forever. "

[Vinman]

I don't understand pulling DLC from availability and that is dumb. The work has been done to create the game / intellectual property and they should let people buy the content and pay for it as long as they choose to into the future.

But that's the whole point - they don't.

Look at the recent Midway games that were totally deleted, as well as the loss of all original XBOX DLC with the closing of Live1. That's gone forever, it essentially dooms very cool arcade games like MK 3, Joust and Gauntlet worthless for online play, as no new players can buy them. Quite the value for existing "leasers".

Lately, it's been getting very, very, very bad out their in digital gaming land, and it's clearly showing the inherent dangers in paying money to a company who can arbitrarily revoke future players from buying it. You can't sell or transfer ownership of downloaded media, so you're stuck.

A good analogy would be if a publisher lost the rights to X game, and then the license holder, let's say... Disney, got a court order to destroy any and all used copies at GS/EB or other used vendors and if any new copies were to be traded in, those too would be destroyed, thereby ensuring that only current owners are ever allowed to play that game again.

Sounds like Orwellian, don't ya think?

That's all true. It's too bad that some publishers are treating DLC that way. I'm not sure who is to blame, the publisher or MS for the Live fees they charge publishers, I don't know enough about how the system works.

I just think DLC is the future and has a lot of potential benefits, but if it is abused and companies screw consumers and turn the whole thing into a 'rental' model it would be unfortunate.

It may get to the point that companies will have to guarantee to provide support until an agreed upon date in the future, the way Microsoft does with Windows, to win the trust of consumers. I don't think anyone expects a DLC game to be supported for say 10 years but there must be a reasonable period of availability and support, I would say for a few years at minimum.

"I made a game with zombies in it" (L33Tless) is an indie 1$ title and topped most XBLA charts against developer games for a good while. I agree.

i just don't get it. its like the pet rock or an imaginary friend . its not real , its nothing, but they get you to buy stuff for it.

[Duuuuude]

do people really spend actual money on clothing for their avatar? really?

I would only buy a few things for my young sons' profile's if you could share them on the same console like themes and XBLA games. It is such a scam that you have to buy an item for every profile on your Xbox, not to mention male or female versions of everything. Does Microsoft seriously think that I am going to put 500msp minimum into my kid's account so that I can buy them a 240msp avatar item? No thanks. :)

[xbl_sucks]

Game clothing should be given out for completing things in the game like 'Splosion Man, Left 4 Dead 2 and Halo. Not for spending money on clothing.

Of course it's meaningless. That's why I said I do it (shirts are less than a buck, I wont go higher) to support game developpers. Some of the dough goes to them, and I my avatar shows the game I support.

But some people also like to have their avatar personalized because it's predominant on the dashbord. That's why mine dosent look like a superhuman emo *****.

ya if people like it go ahead im not knocking you for doing it i was seriously curious if people actually spend money on it is all. i also think avatar stuff should be awared in games not purchased. to me its like having to pay to have an achievement list.

Couldn't have said it any better, but too bad it doesn't work like that. I never paid for any Avatar stuff for mine in the past two years other than the stuff I got for free. I don't see the point to customize my Avatar, it is not like you use it a lot, how much time do you actually spend on your Avatar? Think about it...

haha I'm glad everyone on here is smart. I have a guy on my friends list who's spent like 108 dollars on avatar stuff. Who needs shoes in 3 different colours? no one's going to notice (or even bother to look) that one pair has a tiny green stripe on them.

but seriously, the avatars were the dumbest thing microsoft came up with in their attempt to be more like the wii, they aren't really used for anything worthwhile (oh yay you can use them in some indie games!), it doesn't help to put an image or face to the people you play with. you get more of an identity or idea of who someone is from talking to them over the headset, their voice and personality etc... it's not worth spending any money on whatsoever.

I guess that's why my motto is "xbox avatars are lame"

another crappy deal of the week.

+1

[dbdudley]

That COD map pack is still expensive.

I wish they'd release a pack with just the zombie maps - what harm could there be this long after the game's release? Otherwise, I'm not forking out near 1600 points for the maps.

[sweetvar26]

Its been more than a good year since these maps were released and they seem to be still expensive at 1600 points. Anything thats been out for over a year should go directly for a 33%-50% sale depending on the content.

Be smart Microsoft, the deals are getting crappy day by day...

What's sad is that they're still charging $20.00 for this and that's supposedly a deal... I haven't had a single person on my almost full friends list play COD:WAW since COD:MW2 came out. Pay 20 dollars to download a bunch of maps that most people aren't even playing? I'm willing to bet that in the holiday season they'll release a game of the year version or something that includes all the downloadable content. seems to be a theme among decent selling games now.

I agree and I am quite surprised that they haven't released the game with all the maps included. They did that with COD2, COD3 and COD4.

[Piers]

Wow. So that was originally $30 (price of half-a-game) for 9 MP maps? That's insane. I miss the days of home-brew maps but I'm still willing to pay for a couple extra maps. I assumed a map pack was $5-$10. $30 is absolutely insane.

Their hasn't been a Game released with them all because I assume they are still selling "decently". I bought MW2, I have played WaW really recently, as of a week or so ago actually.. Nazi Zombies keeps me going back to WaW.

[xbl_sucks]

Wow more garbage for the next 2 weeks. I mean outside Perfect Dark there isn't anything I want, I guess the DLC for Fallout is a good deal for those who didn't download them the 2 times they were DOTW before

[user01]

Months ago, the COD map packs were like 400 points per map pack so about 1200 points, almost less than $20 for a 1400 point card. They jacked the price up to about 200 points more. therefore, cold. :lol:

7 days until Perfect Dark!!!

[Kurtz7834]

is there somewhere that follows the PSN deals? I've never known where to look.

There are threads created as deals come. Currently there have been Capcom games on sale, Super Puzzle Fighter is on sale for $5 until tomorrow. Sorry, I don't have a link but do a search for Capcom and you'll find it.

[Kurtz7834]

For some reason they are really stingy with Xbox Live Deals. I still have 3000 points banked from when the 2800 pts cards went on sale for $30, but all the deals suck lately and rarely is anything good on sale.

I did buy Carcassonne, Catan, Ticket to Ride and all the good board game exclusives, at full price of course.

[SpicYMchaggis]

Is anyone else as Stoked as I am for pefect dark?

It was so far ahead of it's time when it came out and I am unbelievably stoked for an updated version with a decent framerate and decent controls. Should be amazing

[xbl_sucks]

****** deals of the week again for me at least.

Good for those who haven't bought the GOTY version of Fallout 3

[lead]

my god maps for games should be free whats happened to online gaming? You'd figure your already having to pay to play online they might want to throw you a bone to keep paying by offering free maps?

Now with xbox live its slowing becoming x-tunes? soon to be x-flicks and x-financial? Download some maps get a mortgage at a variable rate!

For owners of retail Fallout 3:

Just a side note that if you obtain the GOTY edition via unofficial channels, you can install to hard drive all the expansions on the second DVD. Then transfer the hard drive to a regular console with your retail Fallout 3 DVD and enjoy the expansions.

Are any of these expansions relatively weak? If I had to choose only one or two, which would be the best ones to get?

[Kurtz7834]

Are any of these expansions relatively weak? If I had to choose only one or two, which would be the best ones to get?

I think it's Broken Steel which raises the Level cap from 20 to 30 (can someone else confirm?) so that would be the one to get first. I have the GOTY version.

Yes it is 'Broken Steel'.

The best DLC would be Broken Steel and Point Lookout. Broken Steel is a must because it will increase your level cap from 20 to 30.

i want a refund for perfect dark. i can't play the thing it makes me sick to my stomach. such a shame.

[Marus92]

Then the N64 version would of done the same...this game is absolutely the same, safe for increased FOV from the 16:9, player models and textures. My teenagehood *sigh*... I think I'd want to buy it just for the flashbacks.

I do agree, as an avid FPS player, that the old school FOV can induce motion sickness...i got a little crosseyed from some fast rotation movement in the demo

I bought PD by accident. I mean to download the free demo to try it, and I ended up spending 800 pts I didn't intend to. Dumb*ssed of me. Oh well, the game got good reviews and I guess there are worse games to buy by accident. I never played this original N64 version back in the day.

Perfect Dark isn't on sale though. If you haven't got them already, I recommend Lumines Live!, Super Street Fighter II HD, and Defence Grid.

FYI, the sale prices are now up people - both for Silver and Gold members. Go spend some space bucks everyone!

Is Virtual On any good? I remember that I liked the arcade game.

[Macross_Freek]

Is Virtual On any good? I remember that I liked the arcade game.

I bought it for that reason. I remember playing it in the arcades when I was younger. Honestly though it doesn't seem worth the 800 points. Gets repetitive quickly unless you like to play online a lot.

was wondering the same thing as number...

...can you/or someone else expand a bit more? i mean im sure its not as fun as playing with the two joysticks and little booth thing u play in..but is the gameplay relatively the same?

[AnonymousBroccoli]

You can download a trial version of the game:

http://marketplace.xbox.com/games/offers/00000000-0000-4000-8000-000058410985

Sign in with the Windows Live/Hotmail/MSN/whatever account tied to your Xbox Live account, and it'll download it the next time you turn on your console.

Or you could just get the trial from your console, of course.

Seems relatively similar. I haven't used the old style control with two joysticks so I can't comment on that.

Maybe it's just me remembering it being an awesome game as a kid and now that I'm older, it's not as appealing after trying it again.

I'll be downloading the Borderlands DLC. $25 for the disc version of the 2 DLCs is overpriced IMO.

if you have games to trade, the DLC disc version is a powertrade at EB
speaking of that, i wonder if you could rent it and just install the DLC

Next week's (April 26th) "Deal of the week" is RUMOURED to be "The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai" for 400 Microsoft Points. At least that's the deal Japan's gonna be getting. No idea if it's a regional deal or not but if you were planning on buying this game, wait until next week to see what happens. It also fits Xbox LIVE's current zombie theme so that's a good sign.

[Jouvert]

Major Nelson has posted Xbox Live's upcoming schedule. I believe the BioShock 2 Game Add-on may be an error though - it should be under the Xbox 360 Game Add-Ons section. So it should read:

Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week:
April 26: The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/offers/00000001-0000-4000-8000-000058410902?cid=SLink), 400 points

Anyway, here's his original post. I expect it to be corrected later:
EDIT: Yeah, he corrected it. The upcoming deals of the week are now confirmed above.

Here is a list of upcoming content scheduled for the Xbox LIVE Marketplace* Please see the blog post I’ll make for each of these for regional availability.

Here is the review from IGN for The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai.


Closing Comments
The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is an enjoyable button masher and a commendable effort considering it’s the work of one person. It didn't hold my interest, however, as long as I'd hoped and didn't really give me anything I couldn't get from some other XBLA titles. I had more fun with The Dishwasher than some other folks in the office and I must admit that it has a nice visual style to it, but it falls short of greatness.

Tecmo Bowl is a must buy for me a lot of good remakes have been showing up on the Marketplace, Final Fight, After Burner and now this :)

Just wish I would have waited for Zombie Dishwasher before I bought it. So far I have like 100 or so XBLA games. Just a warning to all you people playing for achievements Zombie Dishwasher is pretty hard at least for me

Not sure what the achievements but I played it on my friends 360, it definitely is a hard game.

I will be trying the demo later today, heard it is alright but might be worth the 400 MS Points.

I will be trying the demo later today, heard it is alright but might be worth the 400 MS Points.

I downloaded the demo yesterday too and i found that it wasn't worth the 400 MSP. I get the same zombie slaying thrills from "I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1" (indie game) it's the same style and genre of gameplay but was more entertaining and for a 80 MSP you'll get your zombie fix. I think it's a lot more creative and from what i've seen the weapons are more creative. But, i've only played demo of zombie apocalypse :)

I get the same zombie slaying thrills from "I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1" (indie game) it's the same style and genre of gameplay but was more entertaining and for a 80 MSP you'll get your zombie fix. I think it's a lot more creative and from what i've seen the weapons are more creative. But, i've only played demo of zombie apocalypse :)

People have mixed views on Zombie Apocalypse. I bought it today and finished it with my brother local multiplayer.

We had a blast playing together, it gets pretty intense and funny at the same time trying to stay alive and help each other out. I also played online with 4 other people for a bit and it was enjoyable.

Don't get it if you plan on playing alone because its not fun and it'll get repetitive but I personally didn't get that feeling when playing with other people. Plus after completing the game, you unlock "all weapons" mode which gives you all the guns with unlimited ammo, its pretty fun and lets you plow through 10 days in like 15 minutes.

So that's my two cents on the game, I enjoyed it and think its definitely worth 400MS. I can see myself playing this game sometime with some friends to get a good laugh.

[punishment]

I found "not another zombie defence game" or something like that to be more fun. Another indie game, lacks the charm of Maed a gaem, but allows you to buy weapons, set up turrets and the like. I've been back and forth between that and SSF4 for the last week or so now. I think it's only a buck too.

[DanielT]

I love zombie apocalypse :D

It's an error... I saw it for 29.99 as well. I went to cash and it said 49.99. The tag on the 29.99 price says GTA IV and not GTA IV Episodes of Liberty City.

So they refused to sell it for 29.99. The cashier went back later and ripped the 29.99 tag off. Apparently the older GTA IV is for 29.99, but they didn't print or some how mixed the tags up. It's lame... but w.e.. that's FS for ya.

EDIT: I noticed Braid is supposed to be on sale for 800 points. The thing is you can buy it now at that price since it had a permanent price drop recently (posted earlier by me in this same thread, D'OH!). So expect Braid's price to be even cheaper than 800 MS points - probably 560 or 400 MS points.

[TheGamer2400]

I can't wait for the Mass Effect 2 add-on! Anyways, I don't why they should even bother releasing a demo now :confused:

I posted this in the freebies section, but I don't think it's getting noticed by the right people. Here's a limited time, (apparently) Gold exclusive freebie.

http://mktplassets.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/7150E14D-2380-44EF-9AA2-4296BBAE2361/0/cboxdjhero.jpg

DJ Hero 2 will be out this fall, but you can experience a bit of it today, if you have the original game. In celebration of the announcement, a mix featuring Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and Deadmau5's "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" will be available for free on Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN. Download it now, even if you don't own DJ Hero, as it is only available from June 8-14, and then it's gone!

Sweet! I will get a points card tomorrow...Loblaws has no tax tomorrow as well so i'll be buying a card there!

[El-Producto]

I really hate MS points. Everything is sold in 400 point increments, yet a card is 1400 points. I want 3 games from this sale:

800
400
400

That's 1600 points, but I don't want to buy a 2800 point card. Stupid.

[duyh]

hmm, splosion man isn't on sale? i just link and got 800 points:mad:

It is on sale.. I just checked. Gotta login with a gold account or you can't see the sale.

Yeah, that's terrible. Why do they sell 1600 point cards in the states but not here?

[Kuro]

It's because of the exchange rate.

20USD = 1600 pts
20CAD = 1400 pts

They could always charge more and have 1600 pts, but I guess they want to keep the price points at 20/40 for the cards.

any of the new ones actually any good?

[Jouvert]

any of the new ones actually any good?

If you like Braid, then you should like "The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom". "Defense Grid" is a great tower defense game, while "Poker Smash" is a good puzzle game. Of course, you can always try out the demos before you buy.

[PS3_Devil]

Chime is an absolutely awesome game and at 240 pts that is an absolute steal

[superrabbi]

There's a game called "The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom"? Amazing.

[belowzeros]

thanks for the suggestions, i picked up chime and pb...I've played Defense Grid, it's good also :)

If you don't want to use the link in the previous reply, turn on your Xbox 360, and load up the main Dashboard. Under either Spotlight (probably the default section of the Dashboard), or Game Marketplace, there will be an icon for Deal of the Week, sub-titled "Critically-Acclaimed Games". Open that up, and Chime should be one of the 6 games in there. It's the second-farthest to the right at the moment.

Thanks for the post! Do we know yet if this will apply to Canada? I guess we'll find out tomorrow either way.

prices do apply to Canada :D they are up on xbox.com and on the dashboard, but there's no liveapalooza tab on the dash yet. good bye microsoft points

[AnonymousBroccoli]

good bye microsoft points
Indeed. I figure I'll probably end up getting everything I don't already have, which will set me back about 5,640MSP. D: Thank goodness for accidental-ish half-price sales and whatnot. This is pretty much why I stock up on cards while they're cheap, so I'd might as well go for it.

[sweetvar26]

Thanks for the update buddy. I am waiting for few games to go on sale but they never do :(

[Jouvert]

Thanks all. Direct links for all the songs are forthcoming. Unfortunately. I can't put all the song links in the first post because of the character limit. :(

[mayo438]

This is awesome :) I hope these songs will be compatible with Rock Band 3 with the new 6-string guitar controller!

[Kyle071785]

i'd really have preferred if they just put every song on sale for 80 MS Points during this sale

I'll never buy a full album as I only want certain songs and I still can't justify paying $2 for each song but for $1 I'd definitely pick up 10-15 songs on the RB network that I actually want to have

That sucks. I assume you don't have a credit card on file and instead buy the cards from the store? If you put a credit card on file, you could buy just 500 points, which will get you the one DLC you're missing.

did the retail price of the disc version of awakening go down as well? i have the ps3 version...

[Strats]

did the retail price of the disc version of awakening go down as well? i have the ps3 version...

Yes it did, $29.99 now. Tempted to buy it with credit then sell it to a friend or trade in when done instead. Or buy some more US points.

[Xon]

Apparently there's supposed to be a Dragon Age: Origins "Ultimate Edition" released on October 12th @ 59.99 (USD) (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=78684). Unfortunately, no one know for sure what's included in it yet. At best it could the original game and all the dlc on one or two discs, at worst it could be just the original disc with some of the dlc included as download codes.

Thanks OP. I was just thinking of buying it yesterday too. Dodged a bullet there.

Guys I have a question. I want to buy the Resident Evil 5 DLC (DotW) but I am silver. If I put a 48 Hour Trial In my account can I purchase it?

Thanks in advance! :)

Unless they've changed the rules, I'm pretty sure the trial cards only give you access to multiplayer, unfortunately.

Unless they've changed the rules, I'm pretty sure the trial cards only give you access to multiplayer, unfortunately.That's correct. The 48 hour trials do NOT make you a gold member - they simply allow you to play multiplayer. Any perks of being a Gold member will not be provided.

[Jouvert]

Just thought I should add that if you're a Silver member you also shouldn't count on the upcoming free Gold trial weekend to give you access to the Deal of the Week. Those free Gold weekends give you access to some Gold privileges but not all of them, including the DotW.

Hey guys, I already posted this in the freebies section, but I'm cross-posting it here since I believe it's a limited time offer.

Xbox marketplace was charging 240 MS points for this, but I believe it's free for today (14 Sept) only. So get it while it's available. Yes, it's a premium theme.

dang it I *just* bought TS

[formicae]

That's awesome. I've been waiting for a few games to go on sale but this essentially amounts to '33% off.'

[Jouvert]

dang it I *just* bought TS

Well, you're in luck or out of luck depending on how you view it. I don't think buying DotW or sale items (like items from the Sequel Sale) count towards this promo.

According to the European Xbox Social Media Editor twitter feed:


Thanks @ValKilmer4Life for reminding me to say - spending points on DOTW and discounted content does not count towards the 2400MSP

Check it out at http://twitter.com/cowfishdreams and look for the above message - you'll have to do a bit of scrolling since this message was made yesterday. Also Games On Demand do not count towards this promo either, only XBLA content and add-ons. If I also get confirmation from Major Nelson or Xbox LIVE then I'll update the thread. But it looks like this promo cannot be combined with any other offer.

[belowzeros]

hey that's good to know.

no worries though, i found about 4000 points worth of stuff I'd buy last night. just have to remember not to buy anything on promo towards it.

Sorry Jouvert, I hadn't visited this thread in a couple of days and created a post about the same deal after seeing it on Twitter (Which was 3 hours after you made this post). :o

Usually by the time I see something online, you already have this thread updated. Keep up the good work!

Sorry Jouvert, I hadn't visited this thread in a couple of days and created a post about the same deal after seeing it on Twitter (Which was 3 hours after you made this post). :o

No worries! Accidents happen.

Okay gang, over on the US XboxSupport's twitter (http://twitter.com/XboxSupport), they say buying ANYTHING under XBLA games and add-ons count towards the October "Spend 2400 MSP get back 800 MSP" promo, including the Deal of the Week and the Sequel Sale items. If you're on twitter you can ask them directly and get back the above response.

So on one hand we've got the European Xbox team saying it doesn't while the US team says it does. Right now this is giving me a headache. Anyway, proceed with caution.

Deal of the Week Oct 4

This week, Xbox LIVE Gold members can save 50% on BOTH Game Add-ons for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Normally 1200 points each, both The Stimulus Pack and the Resurgence Pack are specially priced at 600 MS Points each.

The Resurgence Pack delivers five epic multiplayer maps: “Carnival,” an abandoned amusement park with a variety of unique vantage points; “Fuel,” a massive oil refinery with extremely long sightlines; “Trailer Park,” a maze-like mobile estate surrounded by war-torn debris. Two legendary maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare return more detailed than ever, including “Strike,” a large urban center in the desert; and “Vacant,” a fast-paced Russian office complex with few places to take cover.

Two legendary fan-favorites from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare return, including "Crash," a war-torn urban environment; and "Overgrown," which features a massive dry creek bed.

[Jouvert]

Any idea how long the sequel sale's on for? I'm hot and cold on the Fable and Assassin's Creed content :)

According to the dashboard ad, the sale is good for one week. Since it started last Tuesday, then that means today - Monday 4th, October - should be the last day of the sale.

[MrGone]

Thanks Jouvert!

Too little too late for those maps. It is a great deal but the new COD game is only a few weeks away. Not sure how much play time will MW2 get after Nov.

[Smooth~]

I thought avatar items don't count?

[Jouvert]

I thought avatar items don't count?

You mean towards the "Spend 2400 MSP get back 800 MSP" promo? I believe they don't. Also Games on Demand and Rock Band exports don't count either. Only Xbox LIVE Arcade and/or Game add-on content qualifies.

[yoda12320]

True was waiting for these to goto 50% off like the cod 4 maps before. Glad it finally came its better than paying 1200*2=2400 but these are the price of 1. So basically its a 2for1 sale :D.

TYSVM Jouvert, saw this on MN.com, glad that bfbc2 won as now I can pick up cheap the specact upgrade pack for 320 msp. Decent but still too much $$ for only 40 gs lol.

[sweetvar26]

For those thinking about pulling the trigger on the Mass Effect content, if you have the patience, just wait for the GOTY which will be released around Dec/Jan with all the DLC's.

However if you already have the game and just want the DLC's, obviously this is a good choice :D

[Jouvert]

Okay guys, I updated the first post with this info, but I thought I should also make a new post about it to draw attention to it. According to various tweets/answers to individual users' questions on XboxSupport's twitter (http://twitter.com/XboxSupport), the following doesn't qualify for the "Spend 2400 MSP, get back 800 MSP" rebate promo:

Indie Games
Games on Demand
Gameroom games
Avatar items
Rock Band & Guitar Hero exports/imports (e.g. importing LEGO Rock Band's song list into Rock Band 2)
Themes & Gamerpics
Video Marketplace content

There's probably more stuff that's not eligible, but you can figure it out. Basically it must fall under the category "Xbox LIVE Arcade and/or Game add-on content" for it to count towards the 800 MSP rebate promo.

[richboy!]

Perfect. Gives me a reason to turn my xbox back on and make use of it.
Enough time to keep me busy until Black Ops comes out or something.

[sweetvar26]

If it is any decent, I will end up buying Costume quest and probably the Tomb Raider game for the getting back 800 MSP deal.

that's a monster list...I mean it pretty much excludes most of the service.

Jouvert what is classified as an "indie" game. ie would something like deathspank and lara croft fall into that area?

glad I held off on onslaught, saved some cash there. I never did figure out where to vote.

Indie games mean the games that are made by independent video game developers. As for the current trend, the easiest way to get into the gaming industry seems to be by making couple of indie games, get some experience and build up your resume.

Indie games are cheaper and might not have the same quality as the other traditional arcade games on the 360/PS3.

On the 360, when you go to your game marketplace, there is a section for indie games, check out the selection and try a few.

DeathSpank or Lara Croft do not fall into that category.

Sweetvar26 is right. Indie games are small, independent games and they have their own separate section on the marketplace. As opposed to Xbox LIVE Arcade games such as "Deathspank" and "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light". Visit the link below to see the different categories of games:

Save 50% on Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection from October 12 - 18. Open to Silver members.

http://mktplassets.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/D01A038C-5255-4A71-B105-DAFE884B308C/0/cboxgearsofwar2.jpg

Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/offers/0ccf0007-0000-4000-8000-00004d53082d?cid=SLink) -- 400 MSP (was 800 MSP or 50% off)
This content pack features all 19 downloadable Gears 2 multiplayer maps and a bonus deleted single-player chapter, "Road to Ruin," from the Gears of War 2 campaign. For multiplayer fans, this pack brings together the complete set of Gears 2 multiplayer maps: Allfathers Garden, Canals, Courtyard, Flood, Fuel Depot, Fuel Station, Gold Rush, Gridlock, Grind Yard, Highway, Mansion, Memorial, Nowhere, Sanctuary, Subway, Tyro Station, Under Hill, War Machine, and Way Station — everything in the Flashback, Combustible, Snowblind, and Dark Corners downloadable packs combined.
Adds 26 achievements totaling 690 points.

This deal doesn't appear to be part of the Xbox Live Gold Weekly deal, but it's a deal only available this week nonetheless. Right now you can snag the Gears of War 2: All Fronts map pack collection for only 400 MSP. The pack, when released, originally cost 1600 MSP. It then had a permanent price drop to 800 MSP.

So why is it on sale? It's to celebrate the Games on Demand release of Gears of War 2. What's included? 19 multiplayer and Co-Op Horde mode maps as well as the cut campaign content that's available to play in co-op. That should tide you over a bit until Gears 3 arrives in late 2011.

Remember, you only have until October 18th to get it at 50% off!

In other gaming news, Pinball FX 2 has been delayed (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/12/pinball-fx-2-delayed-still-part-of-xblas-game-feast/) from October 13 to October 27.

Now I've spent 1600 pts on things I wanted anyway... have to find something for 800 to get the 800 back...

i hope you didn't spend it on Deals of the Week stuff only because they don't qualify for the promo :mad:

[Marus92]

Are there any deals for Xbox Live Gold at the moment like when they had the 1 Month for $1 Promo and 3 Months for $12.49? Or is there a forum/thread for these deals?

Theres the "meh" deal on the dashboard for 25% live and black ops helmet

[belowzeros]

i hope you didn't spend it on Deals of the Week stuff only because they don't qualify for the promo :mad:

woops. really? man i hate this sale lol

[yoda12320]

Jouvert should credit for this, Starting TMW DOTW will be:

Week of October 18 (Xbox LIVE Members’ Choice):
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught, 400 Microsoft Points
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 SPECACT Upgrade, 320 Microsoft Points

Also DOTW count for the 2400 spent 800 back offer, or atleast thats my understanding.

[rapsfan12]

i hope you didn't spend it on Deals of the Week stuff only because they don't qualify for the promo :mad:

so the all fronts collection doesn't count towards the rebate? 400pts sounds like a great deal considering gears 3 won't be out for another whole year...

also does anyone see the GOTY price going down anytime soon as well (from $30)? has it gone on sale recently?

[yoda12320]

so the all fronts collection doesn't count towards the rebate? 400pts sounds like a great deal considering gears 3 won't be out for another whole year...

It wasn't the official deal of the week which was ME2 content. It was just a sale for the week b/c of Gears of War 2 Xp Event. Should be fine for 2400 spent 800 back promo.

[belowzeros]

also does anyone see the GOTY price going down anytime soon as well (from $30)? has it gone on sale recently?

do you even need the GOTY if you get that pack? i thought the pack had everything.

[merciscool]

i'm reading the fine print on the dashboard, but not seeing the deal of the week downloads listed as an exclusion, does anyone have any proof that it's not included?

[yoda12320]

do you even need the GOTY if you get that pack? i thought the pack had everything.

No you don't need GOTY with that as its all maps for regular Gears of War 2. Gears of War 2 Comes with the disc and the code for all fronts.

[rapsfan12]

do you even need the GOTY if you get that pack? i thought the pack had everything.

yeah, the pack has everything, i was just asking separate questions...i didn't mean to suggest that i was buying both...

[yoda12320]

yeah, the pack has everything, i was just asking separate questions...i didn't mean to suggest that i was buying both...

k, even if it doesn't qualify it still an awesome price for those maps :).

also, again,

anyone have proof that the deal of the week content doesn't count towards the rebate? it doesn't say it's excluded in the fine print.

That's strange, it says it's not available in my region.

[Duuuuude]

No you don't need GOTY with that as its all maps for regular Gears of War 2. Gears of War 2 Comes with the disc and the code for all fronts.

Hmmm, now since I traded GoW 2 a while back, should I buy All Fronts or hope Amazon puts out the GOTY edition for $9.99 again? :)

[yoda12320]

Hmmm, now since I traded GoW 2 a while back, should I buy All Fronts or hope Amazon puts out the GOTY edition for $9.99 again? :)

I would say get all fronts as they'd only put GoW 2 GOTY at 19.99 for deal of the week most likely.

people talked about it here, http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-6594-Here-s-Your-Big-Xbox-Live-DLC-Round-Up.html
just read the comments

[belowzeros]

thanks for the link but i'd like to hear it from the horses mouth not random internet peoples :) i'm sure you're probably right I'm just hopeful. doesn't make sense for them to let us double dip though.

[merciscool]

it says not applicable with another promo which is what a DotW is, a promo

yeah but it's pretty much something that's always on every single week. so it's pretty weak if they exclude that, because it's not some temporary promotional thing, it's always going on.

I'd like an official word on this too, not just internet speak.

If you own Battlefield: Bad Company 2, then you’ll be happy to know that the majority of your fellow Xbox LIVE members Gold Members voted for this deal:

Onslaught Mode delivers the first online co-op Battlefield action to Xbox 360! Up to 4 players can team up and put their squad skills to the test across 4 enhanced multiplayer maps, fighting against enemy land, sea, and air forces such as the new Mark V SPECACT boat. Work together to secure and hold a series of capture points in the quickest time possible and compare your stats on the Onslaught Leaderboards against your friends and other players across the community.

Super Meat Boy is going to be on sale for 33% off in October (http://www.1up.com/news/super-meat-boy-sale-launch). 800 instead of 1200 points.

Here (http://www.giantbomb.com/why-you-should-play-super-meat-boy/17-3379/) is a funny retro styled trailer for it.

[rapsfan12]

to make things slightly more confusing, super meat boy on sale for 800pts for a month technically qualifies as a promo as well (although not a DotW type sale)...would buying super meat boy qualify for the 800msp rebate? the rebate specifies not being applicable with another promo...

i'd assume it would qualify, but it'd be nice to get some clarification...

[Jouvert]

Apparently people are saying that the "deal of the week" is a promo and in the NXE tab it says not valid with other promos.

I'd say that any RFD member who has spent a lot of points or is planning to spend the amount needed for the rebate, should contact microsoft support via web or phone and confirm for sure, get an official word on if Deal of the Week content is excluded or not, because if it is, a lot of people have probably been or are in the process of getting screwed.

Freebie for Rock Band 3

http://download.xbox.com/content/images/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80245410914/1033/boxartsm.jpg

From October 26th until November 1st, a 3 pack of songs by The Doors will be available for FREE to download for Rock Band 3.

Here's the catch! The DLC will only be available in the Rock Band 3 in-game Music Store. So you must have a Rock Band 3 disc to get the songs. This 3-pack is available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii. Here are the songs that will be in the 3-pack:

"Light My Fire" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flOvM4Z355A)
"Riders On the Storm" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qRJIBtbc2c)
"Touch Me" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UEVyIyibD8)

All 3 songs will include pro drums, pro keyboard and vocal harmonies, along with a free upgrade for pro guitar and pro bass.

Here (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202713) is the link to the official thread from Harmonix.

Remember, this will only be available through the Rock Band 3 in-game Music Store, so you'll need a Rock Band 3 disc to download the DLC. Also, this DLC WILL NOT work with Rock Band 1 or Rock Band 2. Rock On!

I wish that Bioshock 2 DLC included the newer single player add-on. Brad from Giantbomb was just raving about it and saying it was some of the best Bioshock yet. I actually already traded in the game, but I'd almost be willing to buy it again just to play that...and I saw it at Rogers for $15. I bought Super Meat Boy on the weekend, so now I need to spend 1600 more points before the end of the month to cash in on the DLC deal. I'm really considering Costume Quest and then I have 400 more points to spend. What is a good purchase for 400 points?

[Jouvert]

What is a good purchase for 400 points?

If you're playing or intend to play Dead Rising 2 then I'd recommend you get the prequel, "Dead Rising: Case Zero".

I'd also recommend Cloning Clyde. I had fun with it and it's only 400 points. The demo's available to see if it's worth it to you also.

yea i was also looking forward to minerva based on Brad's comments.

i wish comic quest was 800...it's too short/one track for 1200.

Anyone read if Undead Nightmare retail disc is codes or actual disc? I wonder if it's skimmed down core game with DLC codes.

not sure what to do now =/ guess the no brainer move is to buy it online so I can finish qualifying for my rebate.

you should have made me buy from amazon when the link was 19.99 =p i blame yoda.

Idk why tbh, as I did and PO Guarnatee will hopefully get it at 19.99 on 23rd for me :).

[goldenroad]

yea i was also looking forward to minerva based on Brad's comments.

i wish comic quest was 800...it's too short/one track for 1200.

dr2 prequel is a great suggestion. I was actually trying last night to figure out what to spend 1200 on. I think i'll get that and robot revolution.

Did you just turn Costume Quest and Comic Jumper into one game? I'd buy that for 1200 no question.

I already have DR2: Case Zero. I just need one 400 point game...hmm...I'm thinking maybe Geometry Wars. Wait, did Case Zero get released in October? If so, I guess I'm at my 2400 points.

[Jouvert]

Wait, did Case Zero get released in October? If so, I guess I'm at my 2400 points.

It actually got released on August 31.

If you need any more good 400 MSP games, try these:

Assault Heroes
Zuma
Cloning Clyde

[goldenroad]

Yeah, I just looked and saw the last time I played it was September 7th...so I guess that probably won't qualify. So this Cloning Clyde game is actually good eh? I'll dl the demo when I get home. Thanks for the tips.

Right now, select Dragon Age: Origins Add-ons are on sale at half-off their normal prices on Xbox Live Marketplace!

I'm not sure how long this sale will be on, but going by previous Add-on sales, probably a week. So you may have up until next week Monday to purchase the following Dragon Age: Origins DLC.

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/global/t.454108c0/marketplace/0/454108c00ccf0027

Leliana's Song (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/offers/0ccf0027-0000-4000-8000-0000454108c0?cid=SLink) -- 280 Microsoft Points (normally 560 MSP or 50% off)
A standalone adventure in which you play as Leliana during the mission--and betrayal--that changed her forever. It is years before the Blight, and Leliana is a young bard whose curiosities run more to passion than to the Chant of Light. Her mentor, Marjolaine, is determined to inflict the Orlesian game of intrigue on Ferelden.
Adds 3 achievements totaling 100 points.

Darkspawn Chronicles (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/offers/0ccf0026-0000-4000-8000-0000454108c0?cid=SLink) -- 200 Microsoft Points (normally 400 MSP or 50% off)
Play as the darkspawn! The city of Denerim, jewel of Ferelden, girds itself for war. As a hurlock vanguard, you alone hold the power to make thralls of your fellow darkspawn and drive them into the heat of battle. Heed the archdemon's call--Denerim must burn! Includes: (1) A standalone adventure in which you command genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres. (2) A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the Joining ceremony, and the Wardens marched under Alistair's command instead?
Adds 3 achievements totaling 75 points.

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/global/t.454108c0/marketplace/0/454108c00ccf0028

Golems of Amgarrak (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/games/offers/0ccf0028-0000-4000-8000-0000454108c0?cid=SLink) -- 200 Microsoft Points (normally 400 MSP or 50% off)
NOTE: This adventure is extremely challenging. The dwarves' lost thaigs, forgotten for a thousand years, are finally within reach. Among them is Amgarrak, once home to scholars intent on rediscovering Caridin's art of golemcraft. But an expedition to the ruins has gone missing. Only you can uncover the gruesome fate that befell them.

The archdemon lies dead--and yet in coastal Amaranthine, strange darkspawn still plague the land. As the newly appointed commander of the Grey Wardens, you must rebuild your shattered stronghold, recruit new Wardens to the cause, and defeat this terrifying menace. Includes: (1) A brand new campaign. (2) Five new party members -- plus the return of an old favorite. (3) Six new specializations. (4) Nearly 70 new player abilities.
Adds 8 achievements totaling 250 points.

Note: This works out as a better deal than the "vote for your choice of the DotW" from September, as that had the first 3 items above discounted at only 43%, 40% & 40% respectively. Plus, only Gold members could have gotten that deal.

Sorry for this late update, but I just noticed this deal. Much like the Dragon Age: Origins deal, this one is an unadvertised sale and started some time ago.

Nice to see Xbox marketplace discount such recent fare as this. Try the demo guys, I personally recommend this game. It's made in a retro 8-bit style, and it even incorporates a great chip music soundtrack. If you like River City Ransom, then you'll probably like this game.

[Prelude38]

Scott Pilgrim Was one of the best games i have played in a while. great beat up (Double Dragon/ River City Ransom). My friend bought it and we finished it in a weekend. even thought we finished it i am considering buying for this amount of points.

I love the graphics and game style.

Definitely worth it in my opinion.

Yeah I paid 800 for the simple reason is it's Canadian. I mean you get quarters, dimes, nickles, loonies and toonies I mean how many games give you that? If you pass on this you should be shot!! :lol:

It's a steal at $5 or 400 MS points

[belowzeros]

does it get really repetitve and have bad controls? i think i remember reading that about this game so I passed on it the first time.

[Jouvert]

I never had a problem with the controls. It can get repetitive, but no more so than other side scrolling brawlers like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, etc. Other fun facts: the game takes place in Toronto and you collect Canadian coins from enemies.

I think people should know up front, the game has no online multi-player - that may be a deal breaker for some (not me!). It does have local co-op for up to 4 players though. The game has also been known to be a bit buggy - it can sometimes crash your 360, but a patch is supposed to be forthcoming. It's still a great game though.

[yoda12320]

does it get really repetitve and have bad controls? i think i remember reading that about this game so I passed on it the first time.

400 msp = around 6.5 CDN or so, so honestly if you can't afford that belowzero, you shouldn't be gaming rofl j/k.

not so much about that green dude, it's the backlog :)

well buy it now when its cheap then play it later, thats my motto :P.

[xbl_sucks]

not so much about that green dude, it's the backlog :)

Yeah but like Yoda said you should buy it I think it's a steal for the money. I have a massive backlog I mean 100+ games I want to get through my goal was 200,000 gamerscore by January 1st 2011 but sadly I am at 166 thousand and change. I just got around to Prototype now when I did T3G1F like 10 months ago for it.

well buy it now when its cheap then play it later, thats my motto :P.

yup yup.. i have a back log also but for 400 points i had to buy it... come to think of it i still have dead samurai to play that i bought for 400 points on sale like a year ago...

Minor Update: Major Nelson mentioned on his podcast that there will be a Xbox LIVE marketplace sale on U.S. thanksgiving - that's Thursday, 25 November. He doesn't mention if it's for all Xbox LIVE regions or not.

I should mention again that there will be a free Gold Trail during the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend from Thursday, November 25 (12:00 pm ET / 9:00 am PT) through Monday, November 29 (12:00 pm ET / 9:00 am PT) for all you Silver members. This is most likely the time frame that the above Thanksgiving sale will take place. I'll update this thread as soon as I know more.

Sale on Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost and the Damned.

This one is for the Grand Theft Auto 4 owners (GTA 4 disc required).

http://mktplassets.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/28096BA8-75D1-4D07-969F-A741F80693A8/0/cboxGTA4.jpg

GTA 4 DLC: The Lost & Damned (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/Product/GTA-IV-The-Lost-and-Damned/00000000-0000-400c-80cf-0001545407f2?cid=SLink) -- 800 MSP (normally 1600 MSP or 50% off)

EDIT: At first I thought that this was a permanent price drop. Upon further investigation it appears to be a sale, at least that's how Xbox LIVE Marketplace is promoting it through an ad on the dashboard. There's no end date for the "sale" though, but you should have at least a week to buy this at the reduced price. So that means the sale price will be up until at least Monday, 22 November.


Other news:
Here's the official announcement for the November "Spend 1600 MSP, get back 400 MSP on select content" promo. (This wasn't up when I made my original post.)
Click me! (http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/Community/promotions/MGSHolidayOffer/home)

Note: In the eligible add-ons section, they list "Scene It?" instead of "Scene It? Box Office Smash!". Going by the dashboard game add-on link, "Scene It? Box Office Smash!" DLC should be the correct one.

Finally, for the Marvel and Pinball FX 2 fans out there, here's some Marvel themed tables that are coming you way!

Damn I wonder if i was short for the rebate cause im pretty sure i spend like 3000 points. I know some was for BFBC 2 upgrade DOTW but that was about it. So you say Nov 30th would be the last day we see any rebate?

^ supposed to be yea. I bought my last item that brought me up to 2400 on the last day with 4 or so hours to go and got the rebate deposited yesterday.

That right there is your problem... 2 of ME2 DLC packs were on sale that week and if you got them they did not count towards the 2400 point minimum. MS should have been more clear that sale items did not count towards the minimum. Luckily I noticed that so I got some other stuff before the deadline.

[xbl_sucks]

Wow Shank is a piece a **** glad I didn't pay 800 for it. The trial is so boring so overhyped I guess my points will go to Pacman and the DLC for Dead to Rights

i know that's been written but it's completely wrong.

all i did was buy sale items and I got refunded 800. someone else I know did the same but with slightly different sale items and also refunded. still 12 days left in nov to get refunded.

Well in that case MS was generous and decided to give people the rebates. However, some other companies could have easily denied you the rebate on the basis of the fact that the promotion mentioned that it was not to be combined with any other offer.

[Moeeed]

I haven't received 800 points back. Do I have to call MS and yell at them ?

For anyone that might be interested in Peggle. It might be better to grab a hard copy "Plants vs Zombies" as it includes Peggle and Zuma. Here is a pic of what it looks like..http://levelupnews.com/deals/amazon-deal-plants-vs-zombies-with-free-peggle-and-zuma-20/
Not sure how much Zuma is on XBLA, but I highly recommend Plants vs Zombies and I beleave if you want to download PvsZ it would cost 1200 points.
You can find the hard copy for $20.00 at most places including walmart for $20.00

I can't wait for my 800 points back I am either thinking Bloody Good Time and the DLC for Dead to Rights or putting 400 more points in for Costume Quest cause I am a sucker for comedy RPG's

I'm waiting on either Major Nelson or Xbox.com to come out with an official announcement for the sale but I thought I should post this unofficial list in the meantime.

Thanks!

For even more confirmation, here's Xbox Canada's Thanksgiving Sale announcement (http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/Community/promotions/Thanksgiving/Home).

So I believe that unofficial list I posted earlier is legit. The downside is it's going to be a daily deal thing, which means you'll have to check either here or Xbox LIVE marketplace everyday to see which items are available. The big sale runs Tuesday, November 23 until Monday, November 29. Also, Xbox Marketplace has something big planned for Black Friday itself, with "huge discounts planned for some of the most popular Marketplace extras!". So be prepared.

I was like cool Trials HD for 400
then i looked deeper and it was a expansion lol almost hit the grenade on that 1

[Marus92]

These are INSANE prices. As hot as my GTR's catalytic element after a few hard runs! I hope they didn't mess up and that we'll get all those deals.

If you dont have those games, BUY THEM. TrialsHD was worth every MSPT at 1200, 400 is ludicrous!

Same with GTASA.

And yes penguin, buy Splosion Man! It's the same price as an avatar t-shirt for pete's sakes!

[Marus92]

I was like cool Trials HD for 400

TrialsHD is 400 (if we get the deal)
The Big Pack expansion is in fact 240.

[Haro]

TrialsHD is 400 (if we get the deal)

is it possible to get the expansion first and the game after? :razz:

[Marus92]

is it possible to get the expansion first and the game after? :razz:

Yup, go for it. It's just going to be junk in your drive until you install the game.

[Jouvert]

Reminder: There will be a Xbox Marketplace special one-day sale on Friday, November 26th (i.e. Black Friday). Likely candidates from the unofficial sale list to be posted are 'Splosion Man at only 160 MSP (that's 80% off the regular price). This also matches up nicely what with Major Nelson saying that there will be deals "with savings of up to 80% off" this Friday.

Also there's this twitter feed:

I haven't seen it myself yet but Major Nelson confirmed the above Black Friday deals on the latest "Inside Xbox".

[belowzeros]

Below Zero you didn't get a new copy of alan wake with the code for the signal?

I dont think I actually touched a retail Alan wake at launch. I think I was still on hiAtus when it came out. I just bought an AW code for 10 on eBay.

Jouv I just watched that major Nelson bit a couple hours ago. I don't think it was specifically that list it was more of a mashup of that plus the week long sale.

[Wyku]

I hate when the deals are on stuff you've already bought, like the 75% off CCR pack for Rockband :(.

[Jouvert]

Jouv I just watched that major Nelson bit a couple hours ago. I don't think it was specifically that list it was more of a mashup of that plus the week long sale.

Thanks. I just had a chance to watch the video myself. For those of you who want to check it out it's available through your dash. It's an Inside Xbox/Major's Minute segment where Major Nelson plays "Crazy Larry".

He pretty much confirms all the Black Friday items below, he just doesn't give out their specific prices. But he did say they would be 60 to 80% off.

All confirmed (except for Splosion Man and Trials HD, which I had already purchased) -- has anyone found any others that hadn't been rumoured?
Also, does anyone think the Big Pack expansion for Trials is worth 240 points? The game was fun, but I haven't found myself going back to it too often.

Splosion Man is a must-buy for this price, and CCR is great for less than 50 cents/song!

[Jouvert]

Yep, everything on the above list is now confirmed. Go for it!

Just a FYI: Splosion Man is hard. Like brutally hard. If you're an achievement junkie it's probably one to avoid even though the game itself can be quite humorous the gameplay is just hair-pulling, controller throwing frustrating at times.

[musdy]

IMO the Mass Effect 2 weapon pack was worth the 160 points, can't say the same about TMNT: Reshelled.

[La Fleur]

This keeps popping up:

Does that mean they are trying to change the price back up and I can't DL it?

[PedleZelnip]

ya splosion man got good reviews for a good reason... simple gameplay mechanics but ramps in difficulty.....

That's a massive understatement. The levels in the demo are trivial, but some of the levels in the 3rd act put it in the "one of the hardest games on XBLA" category.

And then there's the "hardcore" achievement which requires you to beat every level without dying. Good luck with that.

OT: I thought about Earthworm Jim, but jeez, those achievements are downright brutal -- Beat the game in an hour? Beat the game without dying once? Pass...

I passed on Earthworm Jim cause it's a ***** I know what it's like to struggle for a achievement beating Street Fighter 2 Turbo without loosing a round was a ***** and so was 200/200 Warriors Street Brawl.

Too bad I have all the other good games I just wish the DLC for the respective DOTW games would go on sale as well. I want the battle pack for Worms 2 and Band of Bugs + the DLC is soooooooooooooooooooo overpriced

[slyn69]

should i pull the trigger on worms 2? or any of these other games? i checked their reviews and stuff...worms 2 seems like a good buy.

[slyn69]

That's a massive understatement. The levels in the demo are trivial, but some of the levels in the 3rd act put it in the "one of the hardest games on XBLA" category.

And then there's the "hardcore" achievement which requires you to beat every level without dying. Good luck with that.

OT: I thought about Earthworm Jim, but jeez, those achievements are downright brutal -- Beat the game in an hour? Beat the game without dying once? Pass...

lol i just started splosion man (got it for 160 msp) and holy crap in the second act some of those levels got me really frustrated, taking like 10-20 mins to finish a level and then at the end the par time is like 2:50. im not looking forward to the 3rd but at the same time i am, its really satisfying finally beating some of those hard sections. also i checked out x360a and their guide estimates 8-10 hours for 200/200. YA RIGHT! maybe they meant 8-10 hours per level on hardcore mode.

[bloodspillz]

you guys clearly didnt get super meat boy....i got it when it came out and just beat it now...not even the dark world witch is the same levels but harder basically....yet so addicting....also they add free levels all the time... already 2 worlds added....

2400MP for 2 games get back 400MP. Damn thats steep, i have this feeling those games will hit 800MP. 1000 MP per game im not sure what do you guys think? I kinda want shadow complex thats about it lol

[xbl_sucks]

The Arcade deal seems pretty cold to me I mean you have to spend 2400MS points to get 400 back on games that were Deals of the Week at one point and time seems like MS is pushing deals down our throats for Christmas. I am going to pass out of the lot Deathspank 1 and 2, Blacklight Tango are the only ones I would get. Considering I have Toy Soldiers, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Shadow Complex, Battlefield 1943 and Trails HD plus the rest is crap

Shadow Complex was once 560 MSP during a Deal of the Week in June. Personally, I'd wait and see if it comes back on sale at that price or less.

Here's a liitle explanation of the above promo from Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5704391/buy-these-three-xbox-games-and-theyll-cross-over):


Buy These Three Xbox Games And They'll Cross Over

We've seen deals before. Buy this game and get that one free. Buy these games and get money back. But... buy these games and they'll blend into each other? The Xbox 360 people are trying something different.

In late December, Microsoft will start selling the first of a trio of Xbox Live Arcade downloadable games themed as Games for the Holidays. This is like the Summer of Arcade, which they've done in recent Augusts as well as this fall's Games Feast. The difference is that people who buy all three games this time — world-building World of Keflings, side-scroller Raskulls and puzzle game ilomilo — get special overlapping features that connect the games.

Here's how the World of Keflings developers described the cross-over:

"If you buy Raskulls or ilomilo you can build homes for characters from those games in A World of Keflings. Then those characters live in your game world and you can kick them around with the rest of your Keflings. At the same time, if you own A World of Keflings you can choose to have a Kefling as your playable character in Raskulls or dress up ilo and milo in swanky Kefling costumes."

OK, and here's how the Raskulls people put it:

"If you purchase all three GFTH titles, extra characters will unlock within the games. For example, you can unlock ilo and Doug as playable characters in Raskulls, and also unlock Raskulls characters within ilomilo and World of Keflings by purchasing the full range of games."

No word yet on what the ilomilo people's take on this will be.

Here's the other odd thing: The games have release dates that aren't true. Keflings is supposedly downloadable first on December 22, with Raskulls following on the 29th. But ilomilo and Raskulls will both be purchasable from within Keflings on the 22nd.

Oh, and you may have been able to buy ilomilo already, if you were crafty (http://kotaku.com/5699851/the-best-way-to-launch-an-xbox-live-game-may-be-to-keep-it-a-secret). So Is this a theme month of games or a lab experiment?

Major Nelson mentioned on his most recent podcast that there will be another holiday blowout sale. However, he wasn't sure about the start date and said it will start on either the December 21 or 22 and last until January 1, 2011. Similar to last year's holiday sale there will be a different deal every day and it will be as huge as the Black Friday sale! I'll probably create a separate thread for this sale when I know more.

X-Men Arcade is out this Wednesday!

http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/f/00/4d02c3a9defa5.jpg



Get Ready for X-Men Arcade

Prepare yourselves, mutant-minded Marvelites! The day you've all been waiting for approaches!

"X-Men Arcade," the classic 1992 coin-op sidescroller, blasts onto home consoles next week! The game hits PS3's PlayStation Network on December 14, with the Xbox LIVE Arcade release following one day later on December 15. You can start scrapping Sentinels for the low price of $9.99 on PSN or 800 points on XBLA!

In "X-Men Arcade," Cyclops, Colossus, Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Storm and Wolverine unite to use their special powers to save mankind from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and other terrible threats. Players will have to fight off hundreds of Sentinels--along with Super Villains such as Pyro, the Blob, Wendigo, Nimrod, the White Queen, Juggernaut and Mystique--as they battle their way to Island M to take down the Master of Magnetism, Magneto, and save Kitty Pryde and Professor Xavier.

The console version features support for up to four players locally and up to six online. Online drop-in play will be available so all your friends can join the battle and help you fend off the scourge of mutantkind. Meanwhile, high definition heads up displays and menus, as well as all-new online leaderboards, will help keep track of the score while you focus on slicing through Sentinels.

Players have the ability to completely control their online experience by using the new Create Match mode. By hosting a game with the Create Match mode, players can regulate other incoming players, start level, difficulty and the overall number of players. And those who aren't interested in hosting a match can use the custom match mode to ensure that they get into a game preset at a desirable difficulty level, start level and number of players.

Rumor time

According to the January 2011 issue of OXM, the daily deals will be structured like this:

Each day there will be 3 items of marketplace content.

- XBLA Game or Game Add-on
- Avatar Item
- Zune Movie

OXM also dropped some hints at what's coming:

XBLA

- Turn out the lights for this delight!
- What a way to start the week!
- Work with Elvis in this classic!

Game Add-ons

- Are you afraid of the dark?
- Fly to the rescue in outer space.
- Keep your hat on and don't stop shooting.
- Turn up the volume to get down.

Movies

- Act your age, whatever that is.
- Become a hero, that's not so super...
- It's lonely, being the last person on Earth.

You can disregard the hints for the Zune movies since, due to copyright/license issues, the movies being offered will differ from region to region.

Also, as part of Sega's sale on XBLA, they've hinted that a "secret" sale will go up on this day (30th December). Most likely, all the Sonic titles will be on sale.
Day 1: Find Her: Will you wake up on the edge? (most likely Limbo (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/Product/LIMBO/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584109d1?cid=search))

Okay, the Countdown to New Year's Eve page (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/countdown2011/home) on Xbox.com (US) pretty much confirms that tomorrow's daily deal will be Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/Product/Lara-Croft-GoL/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a59) for 600 MSP (normally 1200 MSP or 50% off). I suggest you try out the demo in advance. It's a huge download for an XBLA game.

Xbox360Achievements has come up with their own speculative list of the upcoming daily deals using their own system:


... nestled in the terms and conditions of a US only giveaway called "Count Down to New Year's Eve Sweepstakes" is a list of content that seems to be connected to the Countdown to 2011 promotion.

Using the clues on the US dashboard and the content in the eligible content list, we tried to lump them into some kind of calendar where obvious, although do bear in mind, these are just educated guesses and for all we know, the two could be totally unconnected whatsoever.

Here's the unconfirmed daily deal list - I removed all the (US only) Zune movies:

December 22nd:
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Pet Monkey

December 23rd:
Castlevania Harmony of Despair
Rock Band Keyboard Prop

December 24th:
Alan Wake: The Writer
Alan Wake: The Signal
Alan Wake raincoat

December 25th:
Dance Central: I Gotta Feeling
Kinect Sports Giant Foam Finger (Red)

December 26th:
Perfect Dark
Modern Warfare 2 UAV prop

December 27th:
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Fantasy Pets Minotaur

December 28th:
Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker
Mass Effect 2: Overlord
Mass Effect 2: Kasumi
Cool Jobs Policeman Uniform

December 29th:
Monday Night Combat
Plants vs. Zombies Mask (GAH! I just checked! It's no longer free! I hope you guys all grabbed it while it was up!)

December 30th:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Sonic Adventure
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing Car

December 31st:
Limbo
Yoda Green Lightsaber

SEGA also announced that After Burner Climax is going on sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace until January 3rd. You'll find it up for 400 Microsoft Points, which is a 50% saving.

SEGA also stated that the rest of their XBLA discounts are a secret until December 30th, which may well mean that all the Sonic and SEGA related content will be December 30th's daily deal.

thanks for posting the deals...i'll be getting the lara croft game later today...

question about the alan wake dlc - it seems like every store will be selling the game for $20 on boxing day so i'll definitely be grabbing that...i read somewhere that new copies of the game have a free d/l code for "the writer" dlc, but that was when the game came out...is this still true or was it just a limited time offer? the dlc sale is before boxing day so i wanted to take advantage before buying the actual game (i'm buying "the signal" but don't know if i should get "the writer" as well)...

Sorry, I don't own Alan Wake, so someone else will have to confirm this. I believe all new copies of Alan Wake come with a download code for "The Signal" DLC.

If you buy a used copy or if you buy an Xbox bundle with a free digital download of Alan Wake then those won't come with the free "The Signal" DLC. But you don't have to worry about that since you're buying it new.

[happyplato]

Too bad, I already got it from Steam yesterday. Is it worth it getting it again for xbox live?

im gona skip harmony of despair. first of all its not my kinda game. second im not a castlevania fan. third the reviews on this were quite mixed.

You need RDR disc.

i read the opposite. you can play it directly from the Undead Nightmare disc.

i read the opposite. you can play it directly from the Undead Nightmare disc.

this. if you buy the standalone, you don't need the original game to play the DLC. if you buy on the marketplace, you'll need the disc

[grolt]

Just want to say that After Burner Climax is a really kickass game! The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is arcadey goodness and this home port has enough extras and modifications available to make it really worthwhile. That and the 200 GP are really easy to get, while at the same time the avatar awards are a real challenge. It's the perfectly balanced game, and for half the price it's probably one of the best deals out there you'll find this Christmas. I love love love that game!

Picked up Castlevania HD tonight and will nab the last DLC for Alan Wake if that does go on sale. Thanks OP for keeping everything so organized and up to date. Linking to the XBOX site is awesome, too. You rule.

Thanks Jouvert. I am assuming that "The Signal" is still included in new copies of Alan Wake?

I believe so. I just bought "The Writer" DLC myself - I couldn't pass it up at that price - even though I don't even own Alan Wake. BTW, Firefox and Chrome are giving trouble logging into Xbox.com, but you can use IE to purchase the DLC for now.

Well, now I've gotta see if I can score me a new copy of Alan Wake during the Boxing week sales. And I had no intention of buying this game so soon!

[wchigo]

First post here, but I just wanted to throw in my thanks to you Jouvert for making and maintaining this thread. I only had 30 points sitting in my account as of two days ago, and if not for this thread I probably would not have realised that stuff I was wanting to buy, but was waiting for better prices (Borderlands & ME2 DLC, Limbo, etc) was doing just that, so I totally would've missed out.

Thanks a lot dude, keep up the good work!

(I've yet to finish Alan Wake, but I gotta say that the second DLC is looking awfully tempting at a measly two bucks. :x

The Writer is a must have! The whole game is phenomenal, I loved it. I will never forget the feeling of playing Alan Wake for the first time at night. :-0 Best horror game ever!!

I plan to pickup AW on boxing day too so I was just going to pickup The Writer as well.

Yeah, Chrome has been downright crashing during authentication as of late. IE has a use after all. :)

seem like i got the dlc switched with each other...will be d/l "the writer" right now then...at 200pts it's even cheaper than i thought...thanks again...

2 question I have that I would really appreciate if someone can help me out on...

I'm getting Alan Wake for Xmas, new copy, it does include "The Signal", correct?

And, how long do I have to purchase "The Writer"? I will not have a points card until tomorrow morning as well. Will I have until at least 12 noon on the 25th to purchase this?

i wonder if they'll ever release a ME2 ultimate pack for 360 like they did with the PS3. I'm tempted to buy me2 for 14.99 boxing week and then buy the DLC on sale. I've been holding off playing it waiting for a repack but I dunnos, nothing has been announced but you gotta think they'd cash in on that like the other games....or am I crazy.

It's not going to happen. Well I don't think so anyway. ME2 fills both DVDs already so I wouldn't see how they would fit the DLC in. I'd go with ME2 and DLC seperately, especially if you want to play it soon, since there's no word on a re-release.

And anyway, with ME2's current price and this week's DLC sale it would come to the same price as a re-release, if I base myself on trends made by Fallout and Borderlands GOTY.

2 routes I can figure them getting around this, either including dlc as download codes like the Gears goty or putting it onto a 3rd disc. Bioware promised more dlc in the works for ME2 to bridge the gap towards ME3, so it's still early for them to announce a re-release. With Dragon Age getting an Ultimate Edition, I'm gonna bide my time if to see if they do the same for ME2.

You can thank Microsoft too for negotiating these deals with the developers. I'm hoping Limbo will be on sale for 400 MSP or less to end this sale with a bang.

I just checked in on xbox.com to see if the ME2 stuff was up early like the others have been and wow - pleasantly surprised. I don't even own ME2 yet but I think I'll snatch those up. I was gonna play it on PC but ME2 is nice on a big tv/xbox.

In order of quality (best to worst):
Lair of the Shadow Broker, then Overlord, then Kasumi.

If you can only buy 2, then get "Lair" and "Overlord".

Shadow Broker should definitely be one of the two since it's the best bang for the buck. Kasumi gives you an extra party member you can use in the game but only one (extra long) mission. Overlord is several missions but no new party members.

I've only played Kasumi but I thought it was rather meh.

if you have a CC you can buy just 500 points for $7.50, that's what I did. It works out to just a few pennies higher than a retail store. Add the thing to your cart and when you are short it will prompt you to buy some more. and then it will deposit them for you and buy the game at the same time. pretty slick.

can't go wrong for 200 points. TRU has new sealed ME2 for 14.99 this week, PM at WM or FS like me =p

Wow, 200 pts for the Shadow Broker DLC is a pleasant surprise :), I've been patiently waiting for it to go on sale.

I've heard there's going to be at least two more DLC packs (about the same size as the Shadow Broker DLC) bridging the gap between ME2 and ME3.

Hi Guys,

If I download Kasumi from xbox.com it shows as 200 and 200 at confirm. BUT, if I try to download it from my 360 it says 200 but at the confirmation page it says 560. So I of course did it on xbox.com. But thought I'd mention it so someone doesn't hit the continue button and pay 560.

Whats the word on Deadliest Warrior any good?

[slyn69]

im tempted to buy the DLC cuz the price is right, but what are the odds of a mass effect 2 complete edition coming out that includes all DLC?
(i dont have mass effewct 2 and do not have the time to invest in a long RPG like that, but at some point im going to get around to it, after i finally finish mass effect 1 (80% complete that one))

[slyn69]

Whats the word on Deadliest Warrior any good?

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/deadliest-warrior-the-game
mixed reviews but its only 400 points so id say try the demo before u buy it? it likely wont be cheaper than 400 for a year a more if ever.

[the_fm]

the chances are pretty much nil. there's one final DLC coming out next year and the final chapter is set to be release at the end of 2011

[Angultra]

Great price on Lair of the Shadow Broker, I bought that one for full price and it was good fun. Probably going to get the 2 smaller missions now to fill out the ME2 collection.

[Xon]

the chances are pretty much nil. there's one final DLC coming out next year and the final chapter is set to be release at the end of 2011

Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition wasn't officially announced until after the last DLC was out. I think there's still a good chance we'll see something similiar for Mass Effect 2

Had the other two ME2 DLC's but just downloaded Lair of the Shadow Broker. Thanks a bunch!

I was looking at the clues given on the dashboard and I believe that if Limbo does indeed go on sale on Dec 31 that it will be 50% off, so expect a 600 MSP sale price.

I also expect the Yoda Green Lightsaber to get a 30% discount, so that should get a 280 MSP sale price (regular price is 400 MSP).

Again, this is all just speculation.

I don't think Sonic is supposed to be the official deal. The Dashboard hint said One foe: A world of good vs evil, I'm guessing has something to do with Fable III. The Sonic deal is the Sega mega sale that just hit Xbox.

That was my first guess and it could still happen. That would mean that the Fable III DLC would go on sale. You folks can keep an eye on the Fable III add-on below - regular price is 400 MSP.

Fable III Understone Quest Pack (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-CA/Product/Fable-III-Understone-Quest-Pack/7f0078a0-6eda-4ff6-ba81-ae3fa6cd9dcb?cid=SLink)

Meh, the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection is still a way better deal.

By the way, how often do they add new Avatar items? Is it a monthly thing or is it just random? Are we to expect a new batch of items & clothing for the new year?

I have 2 consoles with 2 user ids...
Is there any way I can have 1 ID on both consoles?
Can I access all games saves and downloads on both consoles?
Can different user game saves be be merged?

A bit of a drag swapping HD's that's all....

You'll need either a memory card or Xbox 360 formatted flash drive, then transfer your ID and game saves onto that. You can then plug in this memory card/flash drive into whichever console you're using.


Can different user game saves be be merged?
I don't think this is possible.

Deadliest Warrior is up there as the top 5 worst games ever. The game is so broken and the cpu cheats there ***** off. I feel ripped off I wish I never spent my 400 on this could have got much better

Also this is a PSA the Marvel UA DLC's go off the market tomorrow so get them now or loose out forever

Finally was able to pick up a MSP card today, just in time to catch Limbo at 800. Absolutely love that game and have already played it through about 5 times on my other friend's account :). Picked up Banjo Tooie as well, thanks OP

i'm passing on limbo. they're just capitalizing on winning goty awards. it will be cheaper one day...800 is too much for such a short and frustrating game >.>


on a positive note, I played a couple hours of LC GOL and love it, great game

fire it up make sure you play it at some point and don't let it rot :) they should have made a full retail game out of this, it's better than most of the junk out there.


I picked up LCGOL, RDR Collection, ME2 x3, Undergarden...have to be something else because I'm out of points >.>. I would have gotten Limbo if it was priced better and Deathspank too. Otherwise I spent enough moola.

[xbl_sucks]

Terrible deal of the week, I hope next week we get the Wallace and Gromit for 400 or less each or something like that

[slyn69]

i tried doing some research to find out how much money M$ actually makes from avatar item sales but i couldnt find any concrete info. i also searched up who buys avatar stuff and came across a buncha threads from gamespot and ign etc where many people admitted to wasting leftover M$ points on avatar gear, i just wanted to smack them and tell them that if they save those points leftover 160 or 240 or 80 whatever leftover points then they can eventually get GAMES with them. it really adds up fast. :facepalm:

Both games are much better than the first Dash of Destruction game they had. Had a blast with the Crash Course, it's like "wipeout" the tv show. Grab em before they take it off (they already removed Dash of Destruction).

February House Party announced!

Here's some XBLA titles you can look forward to in February (and will hopefully go on sale in the coming months).

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2011/01/500x_5039220737_dfd89da656_o.jpg


Microsoft is throwing a House Party on Xbox LIVE in February and they are bringing a number of new games to both the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 ranging from the PC classic Torchlight to an HD remake of Beyond Good and Evil as well as Hard Corps Uprising.

The announcement of the House Party promotion came after the Microsoft CES keynote with plans to kick it off on February 16. Hard Corps Rising will be the first game but no schedule was given as to when the rest will be released. Presumably it will be one or two games a week over a month-long period and will include some other sort of incentive to purchase all of the games like previous promotions.

These are the games according to a Microsoft press release.

Xbox Live Arcade:

Important note: This game will be removed from the Xbox Marketplace after December 2011. I believe Sega's license from Ferrai expires then and that's why they have to pull the game. This game was previously available on PSN - but only on the European Playstation Store - and it has already been pulled from there sometime last year.

Here's some titles that may be on sale for EA's upcoming sale:

You could poke around the Indie Games section. I don't know that there's games in 40-point increments, but you could get a game or two for 160.

Also, you don't need to spend the points, unless I'm missing something. They don't expire, as far as I know.

If you have an odd number of MS points lying around, just save them and put them towards something that you do want. Of course, that means you may have to buy additional MS points to pay the difference. Unless you never intend on buying stuff ever again on Xbox marketplace, it's the best thing you can do with leftover points.

just paid full price for rdr dlc a week ago :(

[punishment]

I was so upset that I missed the sale during xmas for RDR, so happy it popped back up! Thanks op!

[ApolloCreed]

Ugh, I really didn't want to purchase any more points for a while, but too hard to pass up on RDR content for half-off. Grabbed Undead Nightmare for 400.

Thanks, Jouvert.

[chdude3]

dude its 6.50 CDN with tax... stop being so ignorant.
400 = 5 in USA only.Well actually I managed to get several 1400 point cards from Rogers for $5+tax... so really it's only going to cost me $1.61 this time 'round.

[ashs]

can I get the gold membership deals during the free gold promotion?

[moin.g4]

Dammit! I just paid regular price for RDR DLC... :( This always happens to me

[Colin0317]

Yep basically if you dont have any of dlcs its basically 200 msp off all three.

[Colin0317]

Cool, thanks Yoda :)

[yoda12320]

Cool, thanks Yoda :)

NP the collections is undead 400 msp + liars and cheats 400 msp + legends and killers 400 msp = 1200 msp -200 = undead collection at 1000 msp :).


The Undead Nightmare Collection combines the Undead Nightmare Pack, Liars and Cheats Pack & Legends and Killers Pack. Undead Nightmare Pack: An entirely new single-player campaign following John Marston as he tries to find a cure for the highly-infectious undead plague. Liars and Cheats Pack: Multiplayer Poker, Liar’s Dice, Horse Racing, Stronghold competitive mode and Explosive Rifle. Legends and Killers Pack: Nine new map areas, Multiplayer Characters from Red Dead Revolver and Tomahawk weapon.

really wish Limbo would go on sale!

It's worth noting that you don't need RDR to play Undead so there's some good value there.

[Jouvert]

can I get the gold membership deals during the free gold promotion?

No you can't. Free Gold trials allow you to play online and will make some Gold only features like Halo waypoint, Twitter and Facebook available. The Deal of the Week still won't be open to you if you're a Silver member.

[chdude3]

It's worth noting that you don't need RDR to play Undead so there's some good value there.Wait, seriously? I can get the 400point Undead DLC and play it even without the RDR disc?

I don't care about the other 2 packs (and hence the Collection), but I was tempted by the Undead for 400 points...

Booo get collection its not gonna be any cheaper anytime soon lol.

[belowzeros]

k don't hold me to that but that's how it works with the retail disc version of Undead. Even the mulitplayer DLC on there only needs the Undead retail disc.

[yoda12320]

k don't hold me to that but that's how it works with the retail disc version of Undead. Even the mulitplayer DLC on there only needs the Undead retail disc.

Yes but for 1000 msp you get same thing and a turd you can use for a t2 or t3 :P.

[belowzeros]

yea I bought it at xmas myself on one of the sales. I kinda regret not buying the retail disc so i can trade it away. by the time I get around to playing it anyway it's likely to only trade for $2-5 bucks

Wait, seriously? I can get the 400point Undead DLC and play it even without the RDR disc?

You still need RDR or at least the Undead Standalone Disc to play it. The DLC will not play by it self.

[Dan_Kow]

Not bad deal on the DLC, but the real value is the Undead pack for 400 points - the other two are just MP stuff and little add-ons/characters, while Undead is real DLC with gameplay and missions. If you are strapped on cash, and especially if you playa lot of 1P, just skip the other two.

[yoda12320]

You still need RDR or at least the Undead Standalone Disc to play it. The DLC will not play by it self.

WTF are you smoking dude the undead disc is like eflc disc for gta iv can be played without rdr. And dlc is played through rdr of course.

:)

[Dan_Kow]

WTF are you smoking dude the undead disc is like eflc disc for gta iv can be played without rdr. And dlc is played through rdr of course.

That is what he said, that the DLC could not be played without a physical copy of the game or the Undead version.

[yoda12320]

That is what he said, that the DLC could not be played without a physical copy of the game or the Undead version.

Ok maybe he did and I misinterpeted it wrong or something lol my apologizes rofl.

No you can't. Free Gold trials allow you to play online and will make some Gold only features like Halo waypoint, Twitter and Facebook available. The Deal of the Week still won't be open to you if you're a Silver member.

thanks for the heads up, I was hoping they would be discounted but I guess that would be double dipping ;-)

NP the collections is undead 400 msp + liars and cheats 400 msp + legends and killers 400 msp = 1200 msp -200 = undead collection at 1000 msp :).

Grabbing Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Collection, great value there... Special thanks OP and others just love this thread...

[Pro]

I'm thinking Rockstar will release a GOTY edition of Red dead redemption + undead nightmare...

would this be a solid assumption?

Jouvert - Thats why god invented Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendars lol j/k and honestly don't think they should be charging for xbox orginials as no achievements and just reported xbox 1 games that should be free in the first place.

[yoda12320]

Jouvert also might want to add that the overpriced Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 is comming out on XBL for 1200 MSP this week. :*(

Heh. I've had it listed on the first post under "XBLA Schedule" for at least 3 weeks now.

[yoda12320]

Heh. I've had it listed on the first post under "XBLA Schedule" for at least 3 weeks now.

Ok my bad :) still not buying it though way overpriced xbla games these day though breach is 800. But reviews say its awful.

[Jouvert]

Yeah, 1200 MSP is the new 800 MSP. Sometimes I think they deliberately overprice these things so that they can put them on sale 6 to 12 months later and then everyone thinks they're a bargain and snatch them up.

[Binary Pants]

Would've been nice if they added the Hydro Thunder add-on to this get wet sale.

[chdude3]

Would've been nice if they added the Hydro Thunder add-on to this get wet sale.Agreed. The game's definitely worth the 800 points though if you don't already have it.

I'd been considering Hydrophobia, but it looks like even with the update it's still not a fantastic game.

People vote for Pac-Man DX for 400 MSP please the rest seem like crap on that vote for Feb 28's deal of the week

Tried the trial of Pac-Man and I have to say it's a great rehash of a classic arcade series. Looks like it's still in the lead!! Hopefully no more damn people vote for pinball FX ****.

[sandikosh]

I voted for the Lara Croft game. Played the pac man demo and wasn't impressed.

[belowzeros]

that pac man demo must really suck because that game is awesome

[Kyle071785]

I voted for the Lara Croft game. Played the pac man demo and wasn't impressed.
