Just read the last 5 or so pages of this topic and keep seeing things about a sale on Monday. I got a ton of MSP to burn, can anyone help me out? Link? List of items on sale?

Edit: NVM, I found it.

Wow, this was a great week for sales. Picked up South Park, Rock Band Blitz, Doom 2, and Spelunky. Thanks for all the updates.

anybody doing the halo 4 xbox rewards promo thingy. I think i am up to 102 hours with only 6 days left. i swear im done with halo after november lol

This is the first Black Friday XBL sale I didn't buy anything during. These deals are for things that don't interest me in the least aside from Spelunky but I can't buy that because I know it will piss me off so much. Same reason I won't buy Super Meat Boy.

I meant to pick up a few more cards from Target after work last night, but it slipped my mind. Rats!

I should be eligible for the first prize, maybe even the second (doubtful), but there was no way in hell I could vie for the full 800 MSP bounty and stay sane. The MP is great but not life-consuming great.

I want opinions on spending these 3000 pts I have... out of everything REVEALED to be on sale (yes im a sad sap and im still hoping for a 100-200 pt sale on a game) I honestly want some things but dont know if i can swing it.

L4D2 + All of its DLCs (with Cold Stream being on sale Monday)... along with the game (1600) which TWO DLCs (560) would you recommend if i had to leave one behind? I have one of the DLCs for L4D1 I believe... The Sacrifice? I dont own L4D1 anymore though.

I used to love Metal Slug to death, i have only played the demo on this game but i noticed all of the added extra stuff (never owned a MS disc game, only played in arcades), for someone who puts Contra on his top 5 list is this a must buy sale price? 600 MSP

The Walking Dead Episode 5 - Yeah I know its not on sale, but honestly I have done this well to not trip over spoilers, i fear my luck may be running out :( 400 MSP

Im gonna go crank out work on my bing rewards accounts, i hope you guys can sway me with some advice. Im interested in Shadow Complex, but not for 600 msp, its been that point a few times. Though I do love Metroidvania style games. Let me know what you guys think I should do. The only thing im on the table iffy over is Metal Slug XX, I havnt tried the Worms 2 demo yet though.

Im happy these sales popped up for one, i was planning on just downloading the halo map pack ffs

Well, if you've already played The Sacrifice enough that seems like the most sensible one to skip. Cold Stream is the best deal, especially if you've sold L4D1, because it contains most of those campaingns, plus Crash Course which itself was a DLC campaign.


Here are the campaigns that come in the DLC packs:

The Passing

• only The Passing

The Sacrifice

• The Sacrifice
• No Mercy

Cold Stream

• Cold Stream
• Death Toll
• Dead Air
• Blood Harvest
• Crash Course

I dont even remember playing the sacrifice its been so long... i might not have even played lol, i might have just bought it on sale. I guess what i am really asking for is a little more detail on the campaigns themselves.

I never understood the L4D system. Isnt there a way to have the entire disc game via DLC for L4d2?

also, if i cut out TWD i guess i have enough to snag L4D2 (1600) 3 dlc (280)x3 and MSXX (600) ... I have exactly 3070 MSP doesnt that put me at 3040?

i really want an honest opinion on MS before i pull the trigger on it, and are any of those campaigns not really played that much? That could help me save some points. No point in buying unused DLC right?

Anybody? Now im kinda foaming for a different game, because my rank in Halo 4 was reset for no reason. I might use swear words during a match, but i dont cheat or threaten anyone, nor am i racist... i just dont understand this system 343i has set up...

Same thought.

At first (and as I said in a previous post) I was going to skip these... but eventually I digged the 2 packs that had games missing from the disc collection.

This way I have a complete sega pack + disc and now I'm gonna just wait for ToeJam & Earl to go on sale. Of course there's always a chance for a disc based Sega collection vol 2 as well as more SVC releases to pop up in the future... so you decide. I just couldn't wait... :(

Should I call you OJ the Juiceman or Juicy J? Either way, I'd say bite on Metal Slug XX just because a) I love Metal Slug, even if it does suffer from a Dynasty Warriors-esque syndrome in which the franchise barely evolves, and b) after this long it doesn't look like it's going to be due another sale very soon, or a price cut ever.

I am DYING to find out these Cyber Monday deals. Expendables 2 and Real Steel have such horrible Metacritic scores that I can't bring myself to bite at 50% off, but if they're dirt cheap then chances are it's the cheapest they'll ever be and I'll be prompted to bite then.

Didn't get the SVC Packs Golden Axe and Streets of Rage too but bought Monster World and Alex Kidd..already have them on my Genesis Collection too and both are not that interesting for me...the other two games collectiosn were more appealing =P Also got a copy of Joetam & Earl so I probably have my SVCs for now =) hum

Didn't buy anything on BF, maybe will dig some stuff tomorrow..also looking at amazon cyber monday deals will last until 30. (at least over here) maybe I will find some stuff on there...

i also accept big juicy jizz bomb!

nah srsly... you trying to co-op if i pull the trigger?

Looks like the Monday deals are in effect.

Shadow Complex is 800 pts instead of 1200. I was hoping for 600, but oh well.

God dammit. How long is it going to take for this game to drop lower? How old is it now?

And yeah, the prices are in effect. Real Steel is 400. Haven't checked the others though.

EDIT: Yep, prices confirmed. All of the prices in the OP are correct aside from Shadow Complex which is 800 instead of 600.

Wow M$ can suck it big time for this crappy sale. Their 13 days of Christmas sale better be ing good. Im talking no more than 600 MSP for Dust good.

you and i both brother

im still on the fence about L4D2, i wanna know what DLCs are played the most, but its looking like im in for Metal SLug XX and thats surprising, considering its a S&S app deal and not one of the holiday deals :P

granted, i woulda cashed in on that 10th anny sale if i didnt have everything i wanted.

im not pissed, i can just nab that map pack and get more points for playing halo!

How do XBLA sales usually operate? Do they regularly revive old games and put them up for sale?

I was looking at the price history for Shadow Complex, and it went on sale several times during 2011 (cheaper than 800 pts....), but it hadn't gone on sale at all for this year until today's lukewarm discount.

I Read that as "HOW DARE THEY NOT GIVE ME A REASON TO SPEND MONEY!? I DEMAND TO SPEND MONEY!"

I'm fine with just getting Cold Stream since Black Friday (or dealmageddon week on this site) wiped out money and gave me more backlog then I can ever try to conquer.

Well I feel victim to the DLC gumbo of Darksiders II. I knew I had codes for Argul's Tomb yet for some reason I bought that 2 days ago instead of the Death Rides DLC. So today I am looking at Death Rides thinking why it does not show up as purchased and Argul's Tomb does when it dawns on me I bought the wrong dam DLC. My fault but when you have so many pieces of DLC it is a pain to keep everything straight.
