That is awesome! I already have the first three episodes I believe so I'm finally getting the last two. I loved the game, but the only reason I hadn't bought them was because of sales, now there's no excuse. In my opinion, TWD is one of gaming's finest moments as far as story-telling goes.

I can't believe they really did a 50 off sale for every episode. Thought that episode 5 would be 320 or so, since it came out recently.

It's really the best deal of this countdown, getting a 2000 MSP new game for 800 MSP is something to remember. Telltale sure knows how to sell.

Still on the fence with TWD. Episode 1 is fun so far but I dont know how much I'd play through 2-5. For free, sure! For 800 points.... I dunno. are the rest of them the same point and click atmosphere of episode 1?

I am however going to abandon my previous opinion on the BL2 DLC and pick up the season pass. 550 MSP a pop for the other 3 DLC (I got Torgue for free) is pretty decent and i dont have to deal with waiting for a sale to come around...

If you enjoy Episode 1, then I would think it is a slam dunk to pick up the remaining episodes at such a great price.

Good call on BL2 DLC. It probably will be on sale again in the next year or so, but unless you don't plan on going through all of vanilla BL2 by then, better to get it now.

Taking into account the free ep. 1 it's a 60% discount on the series. That's a great sale but it's not like _plenty_ of good games haven't been 50-75% off lately.

I swear people lose all perspective when it comes to TWD. First the game gets completely overrated in GOTY polling, then the sale is somehow the most earth-shattering thing to ever hit the Xbox.

The real headline is that a fine point and click got the pretty much standard holiday discount alongside a bunch of other good games.

to be honest, I'm not loving it. But I do like the different dialogue/decisions (reminds me of Mass Effect, KOTOR, etc) and the whole game for 800 MSP after discounts is pretty tempting. I could get that much value out of it.

As for BL2, its actually 600 MSP a pop for me on the 3 DLCs since I got Torgue free, but I think it just means BL2 will jump to the front of my backlog. Considering I got in on the Target BF deal and also got 3200 points from Microsoft thanks to them messing up some BF orders, I think I can live with the 1800 MSP for the season pass and having immediate access to the DLC out now and when its released.

Where does Xbox live advertise some of these damn sales, do you just have to go to the game to find them?

I downloaded and started episode two of TWD and it decides to start me at the last scene of the first episode again. Odd. Is this one of the common glitches?

There's a GIANT ad that says COUNTDOWN 2013.

can't miss it.

There is a tile for this sale all over the dash, but really it's best to track them here since there still is not a comprehensive sales hub, plus you need plan out your points spending.

The dashboard really does need a much better sales section, and (don't shoot me) a hub that mirrors all of the current ads for your region. When there are decent offers through ads it can be a real pain drilling through levels of the dash to find the one you need, if it is even up.

I bit on TWD. 800 MSP for the whole season....just cant pass that up. Finally spending some MS Points! (this and the BL2 season pass are the first things I've gotten this sale)

As Australia does not have The Walking Dead available would we get a substitute deal?
Also before anyone asks, i know I can get it on an American account (which I am).

You mean it's not cheaper in Hungary this time?

I picked up two 32GB SanDisk Cruzer USBs from Newegg on Black Friday for $13.99 + Free Shipping, to use as backups for my 360. I've had no issues with whatsoever, and I highly recommend it. Newegg has it now priced for $23.99 w/ Free Shipping :

Amazon appears to be the cheapest though amongst all the other "big box retailers" : $18.99 (and if you are a "Prime member" or have a "Prime trial" you can get free 2 day shipping.)

Hope this helps you, and anyone else looking for a USB to help with the storage space on your console like I was.

800 is an outstanding deal for The Walking Dead.

If you are going to leave them plugged into the the 360, I'd suggest some of the super low profile drives or mSDHC adapters. Like this:

Nice. Unbeleivably cheap after some discounted points.

Ok first of all, you can only get with msp so it is same everywhere.
Second, Australia does not have it available on the Australia marketplace (can't remember the reason why). I was just wondering if the Australian marketplace gets a replacement deal as it does not have The Walking Dead as a sale.

The daily deals seem to be ending around noon-1pm Eastern the following afternoon, while the new sales go live in the evening. I tried to do a last minute buy of Hydro Thunder Hurricane yesterday around noon, and while the sale price was still up on the web site, it wouldn't go through with the transaction. Shortly after that the regular price was displayed. The Trials games the day before and Counter-Strike earlier today also expired around the same time.

I was in the same boat. but couldnt pass this up especially with the Target deal on points.
