Have you tried the App Marketplace yet?

It's in the Sales & Specials app.

I actually have looked in the App marketplace as well. Saw the usual stuff like Youtube, Zune, etc. But no sales app. Ok will give it another try later.

Skullgirls is off the 800 points or less page without a drop. Dammit.

Or maybe you get through a decent chunk of backlog... even if it's up to #25 out of 25... you're still never going to play it. If you are buying games at a faster pace than you are playing them, you are ultimately wasting money, no matter how good a deal you think you got in the first place. That's my take.

I guess. I don't really agree but to each their own.

Sorry to hear that for those that were looking to purchase it. It's already been on sale on PSN so maybe XBL will see a sale on it soon.


Also, when putting together a spreadsheet to share online, what's a good way to share it? Google Docs the best or are there other good options as well?

i'll say Google Docs. I know the XBLA Game Room Medals are maintained by Edward & Chromium using Google docs to update & keep track of such stuff and it's public to all. Updates are frequent too.

Google Docs is indeed the way to go, Mr. BookKeeper.

Thanks.

Here is the link for the updated list of all the games that have never gone on sale on XBLA from 1/1/2010 to today. (I'm pretty sure I posted it right through Google Docs). I'll throw it in my sig too. Let me know if there are any problems with the link.

It showed up in the 800 Points Or Less part of the game marketplace (deal) for the past couple of days and was finally (suddenly) removed. I guess i'll hold out a bit longer for it as well. Hopefully it'll have an active online community by then

I think it started when you said that the Splosion series was easy and I was replying that the co-op mode would change your opinion as it's definitely hard to coordinate 2 people exploding at the right times in the right directions. And then make it 4 people and chaos ensues.

I understand why people would get defensive, but the logic behind his point is sound. If you are buying <$5 games just because they're cheap but never playing them, you aren't really saving money. Saving money is when you buy something that you wanted at a high price wants it hits a low price. If you buy a game that you never had interest in just because it's <$5 and then you never play that game, it's not saving money. It's really wasting it.

Hey, I've got a backlog like everybody else, but I've decided to at least try to address the problem. The "hoarder on a budget" line that somebody used earlier in the thread was harsh, but right on the money.

Damn... I have the demo downloaded ready for a price drop too. Oh well, thanks for the clarification.

People were talking about both games being way too hard in SP, so naturally, I talked about both of them. I wasn't talking about co-op since it's a completely different experience in its own campaign.

The single player experience in the Splosion Man games is fairly tedious and forgettable. Co-op is where these games really shine. I would say don't even bother with them unless you have a friend to play it with.

Might get Hydro Thunder Hurricane and Toy Soldiers: Cold War. From my understanding of reading the original post, those two are available at the discounted price to silver members?

I'm going to try and jump on all the exclusive 360 arcade games. Sales really help too!

does anybody know when the summer of arcade actually starts up if there will be a game giveaway game like last time (last time it was balloon popping game)

Really hope to have some codes giveaway. I never have luck in these, but would be nice to get some of the games cheaper from some cag user.

Here's my review of Jeremy McGrath's Offroad for XBLA. It's an 800 Point arcade racer - pretty fun and easy overall.

i never won a code either, but yeah it would be good to get a bit cheaper.
