Still waiting on 400 price point...

Haha! Me too. I have the CE from forever ago and maybe played an hour or so of the main story. I figure at some point I'll get the DLC and trek back through it.

I am Alive was on sale last week so I wouldn't hold my breath until MAYBE the Christmas/New Years sale.

I share this opinion, Vice City remains my favorite GTA game without question. I still have the soundtrack's 7 CD boxed set that I found sealed in a Gamestop clearance bin for $10-$15 a few years back in one of my best CAG-like moments.

I bought the special edition at launch but actually didn't bother to fire it up until a few weeks ago. I didn't have a strong interest in open-world games like that at the time, but Saints Row the Third and Sleeping Dogs turned me on to them. They made a few leaps ahead that GTA IV lacks, and it hinders the experience for me... it is fun but it can occasionally feel plodding. I'll probably turn back to it after I break my newfound RB Blitz addiction and wrap up a few other unfinished titles.

You're probably right about it having more things on sale. Hell, I don't doubt it was one of the biggest sales in terms of quantity that MS has run, perhaps even the biggest. The assortment left a little to be desired though. Why would the main sale whoop the shit out of the one-day deals? I've complained about it too much already (I'm not really that upset... promise!) but it boggles the mind.

That's the thing; either every time or almost every time it's been marked down, it's only been 33% off. As many times as it's been discounted and as old as it is, I think us XBLA shoppers with an absurd sense of entitlement are due at least a 50% cut. 400 MSP would be excellent, though.

I want Mark of the Ninja and Deadlight and Karateka to go on sale. Though that'll probably take forever and a day.

I'm still disappointed that interest in digital retail games = laziness around here with the 15 second remark. I'm interested in them at prices that really removes the pros that generally come with a physical copy of that game (resale) because games at that price have such a small resale value that I just keep them around to save me the hassle. At this point, we all know the pros and cons of both sides, so it shouldn't even turn into a discussion anymore.

I played GTA IV at launch and the bank robbery mission was the thing that killed the game for me due to the lack of checkpoints for such a long mission, but I've heard enough good stuff about the expansions that I'd like to check them out. From what I can see, there's no GoD verison of Episodes of Liberty City, which would probably be what I'd rather have so I can skip the nonsense that was GTA IV. That seems like a big oversight for Rockstar/MS. It is on PSN, so maybe I'll wait to see what happens there rather than pay $25 for the entire package when I'd rather just have what the DLC offers.

Hey Gamers-
Has anyone downloaded and have experience playing the GOD for the week "Warriors : Legends of Troy" ? It's $29.99 or 2400 MSPs.
It sucks the actual game disc isn't available in the U.S., and I just hate having such a large game like this on my hard drive. (Almost 6GB) And yes, I have a few 32GB USB drives I picked up from Newegg's sale from this weekend, and I already had some 16GB drives on hand.
I'm not concerned about the points, not the issue in the least, because I racked up BIG TIME over this BF weekend with the 1600MSP price matching. And purchasing the game would sorta be like getting it for half price anyway from the asking price.

I've looked at a few video reviews on Youtube, and I just haven't been swayed to pull the trigger to purchase, and then again, I haven't had the feeling to completely walk away from it. AAccck, why couldn't a physical copy be available in the U.S. !!! At least give me a demo Microsoft....geesh !!

Thanks for any insights and opinions you all have....appreciate it.

I didn't know it was coming to Games on Demand. That's great news. Yeah, cheaper would be nicer, but like you said, $30 beats the cost of importing it. Even the US PS3 version still retails for $40.

Most these sales are a joke. It's why I mainly wait until the end of the year specials anyway.

Ive never really bought anything from Live at the end of the year. How good are the sales at that time.

Originally Posted by dark_inchworm Nostalgia, achievements. CE puts a slightly different spin on things but is a sufficient source for a Pac-Man fix, IMO. You could always go with the Namco arcade compilation disc, which if I remember correctly includes all of these.

You're mostly right ... Pac-Man & Ms. Pac-Man are both on the Namco Museum disc, which can be had for $16.99 @ Newegg, and includes not just those 2, but 9 full XBLA titles, including:

• Galaga Legions
• Pac-Man Championship Edition (not DX)
• Mr. Driller Online
• Pac-Man
• Galaga
• Xevious
• New Rally-X
• Dig Dug
• Ms. Pac-Man

... along with 25 other "museum classics" with emulated ROM's (rather than re-architected as native 360 games) ... which is a shame, because I REALLY love Super Pac-Man.

With that said, a disc with 1800 GS for the equivalent of 1360 MSP is a true bargain, and you'd be crazy to hand Microsoft 400 MSP for the older 2 ROM's. As for Pac-Man CE, it's more of a personal choice whether the DX upgrades are worth 400 MSP more, and though I've enjoyed the differences between the 2, they're really not that considerable in core-gameplay.

Done in the OP, including adding the above info for S&S+, so have at it!

I love Super Pac-Man too! I'd have totally bought it as an XBLA game.

Still, Pac-Man CE DX does feel significantly different from CE. It has way more content, for one thing. They're both worth buying IMO.

Save your pennies, & pick up a preowned copy from Best Buy for $9.99 w/ free shipping. I picked it up last year when they offered B2G2 which I had never seen them do before. Disc, original case & manual in great shape. If you don't want to take your chances of them selling out before they have another preowned sale, then make your move now!!
After all........ we are CHEAP ASSES aren't we ?!
$9.99 is better than $16.99 right ?!

I don't have it digitally, and GTA is probably my most owned/bought game ever.

Originally bought the Collector's Edition, traded it, bought the standard, traded it, bought Episodes, traded, bought Complete, traded, bought Complete, traded

I'm almost positive it's been brought up but for those considering buying this digital copy, there's an even better price for the Complete Edition at Wal-Mart. Catch is, it's part of a 2 for $30...but hey, GTA + Red Dead Redemption GOTY for $15 each is legit if ya ask me. Both in stock as of my post.

Everybody keeps thinking that I Am Alive could be on sale for the Ubisoft sale and so do I, even though it was just on sale.
but does everybody remember when the L.A.Noire dlc was on sale then the next week there was a sale for the season pass.
The same thing could happen here.

Did whoever updated the OP just figure that next week's Deadliest Warrior sale was too awful to include? LoL

I have a question about GTA4.
I have the standard disc and the separate disc with the dlc.
Do i have to change discs or does it download? and I am not talking about the complete edition.

I have another question about the complete edition that I bought as a gift for someone. Is the dlc for this on redeem codes or does it get downloaded from the disc like in borderlands?

EDIT: Anybody know where the thread is where you can get cheap msp?
trying to seach for the post but i that comes up is the trading forum posts.
