(Then again, im guessing with this list being released, Return To Ostagar for Dragon Age probally wont be out for a few more weeks =/)

there is a 40 dollar expansion thing being sold for dragon age, idk if that includes the return to ostagar everyone is talking about or what

Sometimes I think EA is just trying to get me to regret buying the Mass Effect add-ons when I did, first with the buy-3-things-get-800-points-back deal, now with them on SALE. I guess I may get battleship for my 3rd thing, anyway...did people ever confirm if the item being on sale (like Battlefield 1943 was, and like Battleship will be) is a problem for that deal?

no, it hasn't been confirmed, but they probably won't count, I bet MS points on it.

I am very tempted on the ME dlc. I haven't played the game in forever, and kind wanna get into it again before the sequel comes out. Also, could always use the additional gamerscore.

Even if it doesn't count, getting both of the Mass Effect DLC for cheap is something I'm perfectly happy with.

Fixed all the math fail. Sorry, I'm not sure how I screwed that up... still no email from EA yet

This. I bought the Orange Box for $19.99 so $15 original price for Portal XBLA was redoink! Still the $10 (800 ms points) is kinda overpriced in comparison. Even though Portal ROCKS!

I think I'll bite on that Portal

Originally Posted by Skoad If the core gameplay is wrong, then I don't wanna be right. But seriously, that's all it is, different timed modes where you fight hordes of geth. There's no real plot to it. One main, small area with three people that you talk to more than once. The final mission can actually be a decent challenge, if you're not a soldier and have the difficulty turned up. The reward is kinda lame, but it does let you randomly generate rank X items for a price. Unfortunately you don't get any experience while killing in the "holodeck" or whatever it's called.

I think I'll pass then and wait for Mass Effect 2 to come out.

bumped for polo14player

EDIT: MajorNelson is looking into the EA Holiday Deal

thx for the update ^_^

When pinnacle station came out there was a bug that would cause bring down the sky to not work (if you had it from the platinum hits disc). Did that ever get patched?

not really interested.

just want perfect dark for xbla to be released already!

Bought the two Mass Effect DLC packs, I also got the Madden 10 AFL DLC a few weeks ago, so crossing my fingers about the EA rebate

There was a patch released last September.

Here's my feelings on this. It's unlikely that EA is going to allow two 240 point items to qualify for a promotion that gives you 800 points back. HOWEVER, I also do not see the point in putting items on sale that previously qualified for that promotion. The fact that it was done with BF1943 and now this, is truly stupid.

It's not like Microsoft is just randomly deciding what items to discount. EA has some say in this. They should be aware that they've got another promotion already running with those same items. With all these catches and stipulations about what qualifies and when it qualifies, any smart person would just steer clear of the entire thing (unless you don't care about the points).

If they end up screwing over all the people who've bought reduced price games/addons, I'll never play another of their games...Regardless of how good it is.

I'm really not a big fan of companies using loop-holes.

Reminds me glaringly of the ECA...And I don't like the ECA.

My 360 better get back from repair before this deal of the week ends.

You can also buy the games on the live website and just download them when you get your 360 back.

yeah, I wouldn't recommend that...something about sending your console back for repair and possibly getting a different S/N back. Then you have to do the license transfer thing.. I did all that, now whenever I queue up a DL thru the Web and open the queue later on my console, it always says "Content Not Valid for this Xbox" but I re-download anyways and it works, however, this has only been done w/ free items. I never dare try to purchase something online anymore until I can figure out how to straighten my problem out..
