Pumped for the NV DLC sale, I will be snagging the last two.

A while back I posted asking gamers to rate the expansions from best to worst. IIRC, the general sentiment was Old World Blues > Lonesome Rd. > Honest Hearts > Dead Money > Gunrunner's Arsenal.

I'd wait, its a single player game and will surely drop eventually.

I'm glad to see the Fallout: New Vegas DLC go on sale. Already snagged the two when they were on sale before and now I can get the other two main ones. I would have liked Gunrunner's to go on sale, too, but I guess it's only $4 so it won't kill me.

Still, $2 would have been better! This is Cheap Ass Gamer, after all!

Fallout New Vegas DLC on sale? Yes! Now I can get the Lonesome Road after months of waiting. Wish the Gun Runers Arsenal and Pre order packs were on sale too.

Exactly, it's 320 point price may as well be 3200. I would have bought it at 160, but I am not budging (probably not true, when I go to buy my remaining DLC, I will likely grab it while I am at it..I am weak).

I don't know if anyboady caught this "hidden sale", but there's a couple of Indie Games that I saw were at a reduced price. Yeah, I know not everybody goes for the Indies, but there's quite a few \gems hidden under most of the mediocrity.

Twin Blades is normally 400 MSP, but I believe it was on sale a couple of months ago at 200 MSP. It's currently 200 MSP, not sure when this happened, but I found it out earlier.

Also, both Soulcaster games are 80 MSP each when they are normally 240 MSP a piece, if I'm not mistaken. There may be others, but I only spotted these ones because I was actually interested in buying them (and now they're on sale, sweetness!).

Looks like the drop of those is an experiment on the part of the developer: http://www.magicaltimebean.com/

One week ago, on December 13, I dropped the prices of my first two games, Soulcaster and Soulcaster II, to coincide with an article I wrote for IndieGamerChick (later picked up by Gamasutra). The short story is that Escape Goat wasn’t selling as well as I hoped, and my hypothesis was that it was because it was priced at 240 MSP instead of 80 MSP. The sales figures are finally in, so I can report what’s happened so far.

Bottom line: the price drop resulted in a staggering increase in revenue.

Twin Blades is a fun little game. It's a hack'n'slash side-scroller. If you have a Windows phone you can get the game for $3 and it has achievements. (Though the controls aren't as great as the Xbox version.) Personally, I'm hoping more Xbox Indies make the jump to the Windows phone.


EDIT: How did you find these, by the way? Just randomly looking?

Just picked up Broken Steel for Fallout 3. I actually finished the last side quest for Fallout 3 yesterday, so this is perfect timing. Are the other two dlcs worth buying at 400 msp?

Point Lookout is a must-buy, Operation Anchorage and Mothership Zeta are underwhelming.

GOTY copy of FO3 available at AWD for $15. Might as well sell your copy and get all the DLC. (I recommend it all, EXCEPT Mothership Zeta. Trudged myselg through it to get my 1550/1550 and Platinum) If you know someone with a copy, download and install the DLC disc to your drive and it should be good to go, regardless of your current games' state.

Saw this list on a German site (http://www.looki.de/xbox_live_marktp...te_n89977.html) that claims to have a roadmap to the deals upcoming, including today's Fallout deals, but it's possible the article was written after Fallout was discovered. Nothing listed for tomorrow, so it sounds slightly shady, but a good read nonetheless.

12/22/2011: Fallout contents
24.12.2011: Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition
25/12/2011: Fruit Ninja Kinect
12/26/2011: Forza Motorsport 4 content (including Season Pass, avatar items)
12/27/2011: Reach Halo content (including Gond, packs, avatar items, etc.)
28/12/2011: Sonic contents
12/29/2011: Red Dead Redemption content
30/12/2011: Gears of War 3 content (including Season Pass Add-ons and avatar items)
31.12.2011: Call of Duty contents

It also seems odd to have a sale on the Gears 3 season pass, and "only" Fruit Ninja on Christmas. Take it with a grain of salt and re-evaluate it on the 24th when that deal is announced. Figured it's something though. Don't shoot the messenger if it's fake.

I hope the 30th and 31st are true. The other days though are a little lackluster (Some of it I have but some of it doesn't appeal to me). Last year was a lot better with XBLA games and DLC on sale at the same time each day.

Agreed. Fallout 3 is one of my all time favorites. Definitely get Broken Steel and Point Lookout. The Pitt is decent, and IMHO zeta and anchorage arent worth the time.

Picked up both of the New Vegas DLC packs I was missing (Old World Blues and Lonesome Road). I may just bite the bullet and buy Gun Runner's Arsenal at full price, but I'll at least wait until I boot the game up again.

Wow if this turns out to be true that would be AWFUL. I wouldn't end up spending a single msp. Way too much dlc. But not gonna get worked up about it yet, just hope its not real.

That's what I'm figuring too, but figured it's definitely something to put out there just in case it's not fake. Not sure why a German site would have the details though and Kotaku or another site wouldn't have it. None of it interests me either, except the Gears 3 season pass for the right price, but I'd guess 33% if they really did discount it.

I just don't want the last two days to be fake. I want a chance at Gears 3 DLC and Black Ops DLC.
