What are you going to spend your CC B1G1F XBL points on?

[dubbfoolio]

Now that everything is effectively half off what are you going to spend your points on?

What are you looking forward to that's coming out in the future that you're saving your points for?

I got 6400 points and am probably getting Pacman CE, Castlevania Symphony of Night, and Shivering Isles. There's not really any games I'm looking forward to that I know of, so I'm curious about what you guys know.

[Rusty Ghia]

When does this start?

[saddamizer]

Yesterday, and not without many a hitch.

[Damian]

When does this start?
It started yesterday. Basically everywhere is out of stock now. I've heard, from my store and on here, that they expect more this week.

[menikmati]

Saving most of it for Rock Band/GH3.

[El Brujo]

Shivering Isles, good deal getting this expansion for half the price

[LinkinPrime]

Thinking about Eets Chowdown...Saving the rest for whatever good stuff comes out...possibly Marathon on Weds.

[dubbfoolio]

oh yeah! Marathon! That might be a good way to spend some points! A little Halo zero to get me ready for Halo 3. I wish Wombat's prediction of the simpson's arcade game was true.

[PyroGamer]

I just got 6400 points today thanks to a friendly cashier at CC back-ordering and price-adjusting for me.

Going to catch up on my Arcade games.

Spyglass on Wednesday, Carcassone, Pac-Man C.E. I'm almost wishing I bought more points, but I'm really broke right now.

[buttasuperb]

Saving most of it for Rock Band/GH3.

Same here, if I can manage to get a few.

[io]

Spyglass games for sure Weds. I may pick up the golf game, and maybe Mad Tracks and Catan. I might even pick up Dig Dug to relive my freshman year in high school (used to get a slice of pizza and play Dig Dug nearly every day at lunch) ;). Then in terms of stuff coming out later, if any of these have decent reviews I have no problem getting them at half price: Puzzle Quest, Hexic 2, Castle Crashers, Undertow, and I know there's some others I'm missing there... Oh, and possibly the future downloadable content for Beautiful Katamari... And I may get a regular copy of Oblivion if they get cheap when the GotY one comes out and then just pay for the downloads - would probably end up cheaper that way.

[Kevlar281]

Off the top of my head...

Alien Hominid HD – 800 pts
Bomberman Live – 800 pts
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved – 400 pts
Golden Axe - 400 pts
Heavy Weapon – 800 pts

[dubbfoolio]

wow you just totally dated yourself io! I remember playing dig dug on my Dad's old IBM on a 2 color monitor when I was 7.

Hey, I'm still in my 30's ;).

[triforcer]

no dice, out of stock for me. i'll try them tomorrow again or a best buy PM.

[thrustbucket]

Anyone had any luck PMing this at BB or Walmart?

[benjamouth]

I bought the MUA DLC, anyone know if I co-op with a friend can they unlock the achievements when I do?

If my other 4 cards come through from CC I might buy Shivering Isles, if not I'll probably just keep my 5600 points for future stuff.

[Malik112099]

i traded one card for Lego Starwars II and i dont know what ill do with the other..im currently sitting on 4900 points with nothing i want to buy and another 1600 points isnt gonna do anything for me...anyone wanna trade a game for some points?

[omgu8myrice]

ebay

[Corvin]

Off the top of my head...

Alien Hominid HD – 800 pts
Bomberman Live – 800 pts
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved – 400 pts
Golden Axe - 400 pts
Heavy Weapon – 800 pts


Instead of buying that lease on Geometry Wars, you can get a hard copy of it on the Arcade Unplugged disc for about $5 on half.com and get a half dozen other games with it.

I still have 3 cards left over from last years BB Gears promotion. lol All free, of course.

I nabbed 4 more, putting my point total back up around the 13,000 mark. I'm good on Arcade games(I have about 25). I might finally check out the video marketplace. I've been tempted to rent Braveheart and Tarzan.

[sprintsucks5892]

I going to buy Pacman CE and save 1200 points for Super Puzzle Fighter (Even though I'm hoping it's only 800 points.). Then I'm going to buy some of the Rumble Roses DLC.

[crzyboy88]

I got screwed on the deal. But there's always tomorrow! I heard that my CC is getting a new shipment tomorrow, and I have someone scouting one CC, while I scout another. Hopefully it won't be sold out by the time I get out for lunch!

[help1]

Well I got like 8000 points of free cards (Thanks Prize Rebel!) ready to go on ebay once this CC deal is over. I also got 3600 points free on my account. Im only buying Marathon, and Map packs etc.

Hey good call, I'll bet they're cheap on ebay right now since everyone and their mother bought them to sell on there. Just like XBL subs get cheap when there's a clearance or sale.

maybe I should buy even more points :-k

Yea, im not selling right now since the market is flooded. But this helps because usually there are no auctions for 1600 MS points.

You know I’ve never seriously considered buying Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged because I already had Outpost Kaloki X but after looking at those prices it’s a no brainer. Thanks for the heads up.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Anyone had any luck PMing this at BB or Walmart?

Yes, I was able to PM this at BB. Took the CC ad and cards to the manager, he glanced at it and told me to go to the CS desk and they would match the price. The woman there confirmed it with the manager and I checked out, but not before I ran to pick up 2 more cards!

:bouncy:

[Viva Las Vegas]

I thought I read that CC was only doing this promo with the purchase of an Elite or system, is that true or can I still just buy the 1600 point cards?

[Sporadic]

If somebody wants to sell me 1600 points on the cheap, PM me.

I have Paypal :)

[hiccupleftovers]

This will be one of my first purchases with my cards and then some other Live Arcade games I've been missing out on:

Alien Hominid HD – 800 pts

Also, I'm going to PM this sucker at BB, Fry's, you name it.

[dubbfoolio]

Alien Hominid is awesome. I played all the way through it. no brainer at effectively $5.

[porieux]

Another way to get a 'free' copy of Geometry Wars is to get the 512MB memory card. There is a licensed copy of the game on there.

[io]

Just bought Dig Dug tonight :rofl:.

[sasukekun]

Bought 6400 points, and I got TMNT, probably going to buy prince of persia, marble blast ultra, and golden axe.

[akilshohen]

I really don't know hwat to buy. I play a demo of something and the it feels like that's enough for me with all the pop cap games. I would get Double Dragon, but I already have TMNT, I already bought Castlevania which I think is better than Alien Homnid. Lumines and it's many expansions eliminate buying any other block games. Though I may buy Astro pop, Bejeweled and Jewel Quest been eliminated because Puzzle quest is coming out soon

[Corvin]

You know I’ve never seriously considered buying Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged because I already had Outpost Kaloki X but after looking at those prices it’s a no brainer. Thanks for the heads up.

No prob. I had all but three of the games (GW, Outpost & Bejeweled) and I still bought it the other day.

I forgot about Puzzle Fighter. That and Puzzle Quest are next on my list.

[$hady]

Wow thanks I completely missed this deal! I will check at CC today and hopefully I can find some of these or PM some where else! I've been saving my money lately and not buying any arcade games even though there are several I want. :D

[Viva Las Vegas]

Does anyone know if you can do a rain check on this deal if CC is out of them?

[sasukekun]

Does anyone know if you can do a rain check on this deal if CC is out of them?
it's YMMV.

[PenguinMaster]

Currently there's absolutely nothing that I feel is worth buying on XBL (even at 1/2 price), but I bought two packs just in-case something ever comes up.

[fraggedbylaggers]

I got 6,400 points for $40 and am doing halves with my friend for each game so I am actually getting $80 worth of stuff for $20!!!

So far:
Sonic The Hedghog (XBLA)
Jetpac Refueled
Shivering Isles

Going to be getting:
Marathon
The Board Game thing
Some other stuff...

[velvet396]

No freaking luck = 0 extra points from this deal to spend on things :(

Read: the closest circuit city to any of my relatives is 35-40 minutes away.

[lowgear26]

I got lucky and got in the Best Buy deal (3 cards for $15) and I still cant bring myself to buy some things.

[Viva Las Vegas]

I got lucky and got in the Best Buy deal (3 cards for $15) and I still cant bring myself to buy some things.
What is the Best Buy deal???? Never heard of the 3 cards for $15.

[saddamizer]

With a Halo preorder

It was a temporary glitch that only lasted for a few hours on Monday night

A few of us were lucky enough to get in on it before BB caught on and fixed the glitch

[doubledown]

Isn't it true, if you CANCEL your Halo3 pre-order, they will charge you full price for the cards?

I still have to find the CC cards....have yet to check any stores, but I have the ad in my car for price matching purposes.

[PyroGamer]

I got lucky and got in the Best Buy deal (3 cards for $15) and I still cant bring myself to buy some things.
lol, I feel the same way about XBL points. Just everything about them rubs me the wrong way.

It took me weeks to spend some of my first 200 points on Spell Tomes in Oblivion. Since then I have not discovered a single spell tome, so while it was only a few dimes I spent, it was entirely worthless as I expected.

[Sporadic]

If somebody wants to sell me 1600 points on the cheap, PM me.

I have Paypal :)

I still looking

I'd be willing to 13 for 1600

[rywateska]

When does the sale end?

[$hady]

When does the sale end?
Ends sunday but good luck finding any cards or willing PMers.

I caved and just bought a normal 1600 point card today and finally got Bomberman Live. The game is sooooo much fun I wish I hadn't of waited! :D

dumb question but does live unplugged have achievements?

i looked all over and couldn't find out

[porieux]

Yeah it's the full version of the games. Only 'limitation' is that you have to have the disc in there to play.

[Cleaner7]

Spyglass games for sure Weds. I may pick up the golf game, and maybe Mad Tracks and Catan. I might even pick up Dig Dug to relive my freshman year in high school (used to get a slice of pizza and play Dig Dug nearly every day at lunch) ;).

And I may get a regular copy of Oblivion if they get cheap when the GotY one comes out and then just pay for the downloads - would probably end up cheaper that way.

You pretty much just listed every future game I'm considering buying.

Otherwise it looks like I'll be buying Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, Bomberman, and Castlevania: SOTN.

Plus I want to hold out for future DLC for Lumines, Halo 3, GTAIV, etc.

Hopefully I can get some more points at CC tomorrow or possibly BB.

[Vulcan2422]

Well i have about 16k points on the xbox right now and about 40 arcade games. i think im gonna save some on Rock Band or Guitar Hero 3. But besides that there is rarely anything i need on there yet. Even though the chess game does look good!

[Foo228]

Yeah it's the full version of the games. Only 'limitation' is that you have to have the disc in there to play.

does that *mean no achievement points?

[PyroGamer]

does that *mean no achievement points?
Dear GOD, man. How many times do people have to answer this question for you?

YES. It had fucking acheivments! JESUS. :lol:

[Foo228]

alright, phew
for a while i thought it didn't have achievements..

guess it works out for the better haha

[Kendal]

Dear GOD, man. How many times do people have to answer this question for you?

YES. It had fucking acheivments! JESUS. :lol:

Type slow and big. He is from Ohio. ;)

[Droogs]

I'm going to spend them on girls with low self esteem to show me their boobies in UNO.

[Mrbaseball2710]

Did anybody have CC order them for you? If so have you gotten a call saying that they recieved them?

[Kendal]

I bought Pac-Man CE and am going to sit on them until I find something I want.

[seanr1221]

Picked up the board games...but no one is playing chess online!

[NorthX08]

Did anybody have CC order them for you? If so have you gotten a call saying that they recieved them?


yea but still no call yet :(

[halfbent]

CC gave me a raincheck for points cards because they didn't have any in. Manager wouldn't let me use the deal on 3-month cards. Went to BB and price matched 4 1600pts cards and 2 3-month cards no problem and got all 6 to count for my rewards points (manager keyed them all at 9.99.) Better deal overall I think. =)

[paz9x]

bomberman. then whatever else i fancy.

[ZForce]

I got 3200 points and used em to get Castlevania SOTN and Marathon, now I'm saving the rest till something else I want comes out

[Viva Las Vegas]

Did anybody have CC order them for you? If so have you gotten a call saying that they recieved them?

I did the order but no call yet. They woman put a note on my reciept and in the flyer to honor the deal. Hope their is no trouble. On the reciept it has them at full price but the note says to adjust for the deal when they come in. Is that sorta how you did your order?

[I AM WILLIAM H. MACY]

Bought Prince of Persia and an episode of Comedy Central Presents, gonna save the rest over time for more stuff

[Viva Las Vegas]

Anyone who special ordered the cards get a call yet? I wonder how long it takes them to get more in? I ordered mine on Thursday and thought it would be just a few days or so.

[PyroGamer]

Yeah, I still haven't gotten my call for the cards yet.

I'm hoping I get it today, because tomorrow I'm headed out of town :\

[buttasuperb]

My receipt has the adjusted prices. Still no call about the cards though.

[Corvin]

No call here either. I'm also going out of town. Hopefully they show up tomorrow.

[BattleChicken]

I'll probobly pick up Pac Man and bomberman. I'm thinking I might play around with the HD movie downloads and TV shows.. I might download a few tracks from the zune store while I'm at it..

I picked up a black wireless controller + 3 1600 point cards, but the point cards were on backorder.. I also price matched 4 1600 point cards at Best Buy.. so I have a ton of points to play with.

[dubbfoolio]

finally bought Pacman CE and I'm glad I did. Totally worth it at half off.

[lordwow]

Probably Rock Band/Guitar Hero songs... 1/2 off is a little easier to swallow.

Also looking forward to Puzzle Quest and Quake III Arena.

[Layd Dly]

Castlevania: SOTN and i cant believe i didnt buy it sooner. This is probably the best arcade game out there and so much fun to play.

I had 2000 previously and now 6400 to add, so ill save them for Puzzle Quest and the other newer games i migh tpick up golden axe though since i still own it for the Genesis. Since there isnt much worth anything right now.

[Brak]

So far, I've bought Super Contra, Marathon Durandal and Spyglass Games.

And Puzzle Fighter gamerpictures.

[Viva Las Vegas]

Still waiting on my CC call for my order : (

[Viva Las Vegas]

Got my CC call today. So those waiting should get one soon I'd imagine.

[RiCeBo1]

If anyone has one to spare, I would gladly pay you $10 or something for one

[BattleChicken]

My 3 from CC came in.. bringing my haul to 7 -- thats 11,200 points.

The only reason I got that many was to play around with the TV/Movie content.. and maybe music from the MS store.

Anyone else play with that stuff? I would love some opinions before I waste my points on stuff that winds up sucking.

[doctorfaustus]

If you haven't gotten the call yet give them a call. I called mine 'cause i was in the area and they had my order ready.

[Mr. Anderson]

I reserved 2 1600 cards at CC last week, then went to BB and pricematched 2 more. I've bought Marathon: Durandal and Alien Hominid HD so far. I finally got my CC cards yesterday, bringing my current total to 4800. And since I had some points leftover from a while back, I got an Alien Hominid picture pack and one of the Puzzle Fighter themes. Speaking of which, does anybody know when Puzzle Fighter is actually coming out?

[PyroGamer]

Hmmm, how long do they hold your cards for? I'm not going to be back in town 'til next Wednesday. I also paid in full already... so ugh, I don't want there to be any problem with this transaction.

[Mr. Anderson]

If you still have your receipt, I don't think there will be any problem. If it's really worrying you, just call up CC and ask.
