Man I always thought Magic the card game was really stupid, until I tried the demo for the first game. Once I got the concept I loved it and Ive gotten atleast 15+ hours of gameplay from the first two, the third one not so much,due to the fact that I didnt have as many games back then as I do now (Thanks CAG for that one ). All three are must haves if you like playing card games.

I wonder if I can price match 1600 point card at Walmart for 10.00 dollars. I have the electronic ad with that price in it.

It is highly unlikely; I believe virtually everyone has crossed out pricematching on Black Friday and probably through Cyber Monday too. I would rule it out 100% but you never know... Walmart does love to staff indifferent people.

If that is true about Target nixing half-off MSP cards, that blows, but it works some complication out of my BT/BF shopping.

Space Channel 5 Pt. 2 has one of the coolest free avatar awards for females: Ulala's costume! Even better is that you get it from just playing 10 hours, so no need to unlock its damn near impossible achievements to get it.

It's very rare for a game to give away the best outfits for free.

I picked up all the SVC games I didn't already own and Magic 2013. Too bad I won't have time to play anything this week.

Is there any point in getting any of the SVC games when I got the Ultimate Genesis Collection outside of cheezmints?

Regarding the Rock Band DLC sale that's been going on since September, HMXHenry at 2:20 CST today:

For those that missed the livestream yesterday, this DLC sale will likely remain up for quite some time. We don't have any plans to end the sale any time soon, so for the foreseeable future these 1,100 songs will remain 50% off.

The response to the sale has been so overwhelmingly positive that we wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to take advantage of it. So we're not saying "this sale will NEVER end" because a lot of store stuff is out of our control, but right now we don't have any plans to put an end date on this sale. If those plans ever change for any reason we'll be sure to message to the community well in advance.

I'll leave this thread open for a while to let word spread but will close once it's clear that we don't have an end date planned any time soon. 'll be updating the original sale announcement as well so spread the word!

OP has been updated with the Black Friday deals, as well as new Games on Demand and Dance Central packs picked up by XBLDB.

Since there was already a Tiger Woods DLC listed as the Kinect Central sale for this week, I put the Dance Central stuff under its own heading. Don't know if both are supposed to be Kinect Central sales or not.

Spylon, the XBLDB site doesn't have a history page for Rock Band Blitz. The only page I found listed avatar stuff and music tracks.

Ports are much better in SVC's - there are more options, better sound, challenge mode for every game, all available versions of every game are included (JP, EU, US), there is jukebox as well. These are absolutely worth 400msp in my opinion. Backbone emulation in Ultimate Genesis Collection was awful.

Thanks for updating, Bloomy.

Now I'm slightly intrigued to get Streets of Rage SVC.

I don't believe any of the games in the Alex Kidd or Monster World Collections are on that Genesis Collection.

I actually wasn't expecting much but Spelunky is a highly rated game and for 600msp I can't say no. Plus Darksiders 2 dlc isn't bad, might snag those as well even though I don't own it...yet.

As far as Warp, I tried the trial version and wasn't thrilled. So I would suggest doing that before purchasing. IMO of course.

Sweet

Really? What a great bummer and relief at the same time. I can cross Target off the top of the list then. I'm assuming the Forza Horizon for $15 was also a misprint. Otherwise that's an insane deal.

Old Navy now moves to the top of the list for the free NSMB Wii U game. Will try to score one but doubt I will unless I camp super early and forgo my favorite meal of the year...

So I take it the 1600 points for $10 deal at Target is off? That sucks, I had planned to buy a bunch. At least I don't have to deal with Target crowds now.

Alright CAGs report in: Better deal Sega Monster World Collection for 400 or Spelunky for 600?

Haha! No worries dude. I still implore people to support TJ&E at full price, but as long as you don't pass it up on a sale then we cool, we cool.


I too am curious if SouthPark Tenorman is worth the pickup. Does the game have substance beyond the clothes it wears?

Debating on Spelunky as well. I know it will drop further in the future (however long that will be) and I'm not in any particular rush to jump into it. There is an infinite list of games I'd probably start up before it.

I'm voting Sega Monster World.

Originally Posted by biledriver Alright CAGs report in: Better deal Sega Monster World Collection for 400 or Spelunky for 600?

Monster World takes my vote here.

Is the Ulala costume also in the retail Dreamcast Collection for 360?

It's worth noting that Monster World is actually a predecessor of a classic NES series called Adventure Island. Adventure Island was created by HudsonSoft after they couldn't get the license for MW characters from Sega; if you've played the Adventure Island games before, you'll know they're tough as hell and MW is no different.

I've only played Monster World IV, and played it for the first time just recently, but I found it to be excellent. A little aggravating in difficulty towards the end, but a great blast from the past that I had never experienced before. I enjoyed Monster World IV much more than Spelunky. I'm pretty sure I've made my feelings on Spelunky pretty clear here previously, though I believe I'm in the minority.

I've only played like 4 levels, but I think it's pretty safe to say no. It's a generic and overly long platformer (I believe there are like 23 levels) that is skinned with an enjoyable South Park theme.

However, the game is definitely somewhat better than its original Metacritic score due to a quality update from the developer. Plus, it has Avatar Awards which is always a huge plus. South Park fans should take this opportunity to pick it up. I think non-fans can skip it.

Yes, the Dreamcast disc port is identical to the XBLA version. Male avatars get a Morolian costume, females Ulala.

I'm saddened that so few people recognize Ulala when I wear the avatar costume in online multiplayer games, then again, how many Space Channel 5 fans would be playing Poker online?
