There's some other stuff too, but it's not worth it... and the individual DLC doesn't seem to be on sale yet.

I'm going to steal this from Wario64 on GAF because... well, laziness. Lots of good deals to be had though:

Those are some amazing deals. I can vouch for Afterburner Climax, Bastion, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and Peggle (plus the DLC) being totally worth your time and money.

Still picked up Plants vs Zombies and Portal Still Alive. I loved both on PC (and PvZ on iTouch as well), and wouldn't mind playing through them again (now with Achievements!).
 
50% off for bastion? I am in! I was hoping for that price during their holiday sale but, this year they might not be doing it... or will it be cheaper in a few days? AHHH lol. I will just grab it.. my brain hurts..
 
The steam version of Bastion has been on sale recently for $5 and may go even lower if it becomes a daily deal during the Xmas sale on now.

Portal and portal 2 combo are on sale for 7.50 today.
 
Sweet, totally went in for Bastion and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.

When they first came out I knew I wanted both and after a bit of patience got them for this nice deal.

Makes it even better after the reduced M$ point sales. We'll see what the 11 days of deals have left to offer, I may have to top off my account ;)
 
[quote name='Solid Scarecrow']what reduced microsoft point deal?[/QUOTE]

RCSS had two sales over the last month where they had 50% off on the XBLA points cards.
 
Grabbed Bloodrayne instantly. After trying the Bastion trial, grabbed that too.

From the dash today's deals are

Hole in the Wall - 400 pts
Leedmees - 400 pts
 
Fallout 3 DLC is not worth it. >.< The GOTY edition includes all DLC and is priced at $20, new, at EB. The DLC alone adds up to 2800 MSP, or $40.

New Vegas DLC adds up to 2080 MSP, or $26. New Vegas cost $20. So $46, which is $4 less than the Ultimate Edition (which isn't out until February).

Oh, while I'm at it, $22.50 for Oblivion is a rip off, the GOTY is $20 and includes DLC.
Lego Star Wars TCS is also overpriced at $22.50, it's only $20 in stores.

What's with Microsoft and trying to rip people of using Bethesda games? :S GamesOnDemand is broken, why is digital still more expensive than physical? >.<

Sorry that this post is so long, just one last thing: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Promotion/dealoftheweek
400 MSP for Rock of Ages

Because Microsoft is dependent on Big Box retailers to move hardware and accessories for them. If they start undercutting retail prices they run the risk of alienating the retailers, which limits the ability to get the hardware to people directly.

Eventually video games will catch up with other media in the realm of digital distribution and that will be the primary method of distributing software on consoles, as it is on PC, but it'll likely be a bumpy road. Also, it might mean hardware prices go up so retailers can make the same markup as they do on Tv's and Pc's.

Opinions will differ, but I didn't think much of the F3 DLC was good enough to be worth paying for at any point. If you know a friend who owns the GOTY edition, ask to borrow the second disc.

I disagree, while it had a few glitches, it wasn't terrible. I enjoyed it.

When Big Box retailers have sales, consumers actually save money. This "sale" on F3 DLC isn't much of a sale. Honestly, I don't think any of the Big Box retailers are going to kick down Microsoft's door, enraged by a day/week long sale... Totally agree with that second bit though. The Vita is going to pave the way with the digital games (though I still much prefer owning physical copies).

Anyone play Deadliest Warrior: Legends?
 
[quote name='Rastafari']Well that German list of potential deals has already been proven wrong:

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Promotion/countdown2012-daily-deal

Today we have:

1) Mortal Kombat season pass for 50% off (600 points)
2) Deadliest Warrior: Legends 400 points
3) Joan of Arc DLC 120 points

Lame, Lame, Lame lol[/QUOTE]

Not sure if you noticed, but they never actually had a date for the 23rd's sales. So the list could still be true. It went 22 then 24 on the list.
 
Awww... I just traded in MK on 360 for PS3 during Black Friday week. I wanted to try Kratos and EB had that Trade 2 for $60 and MK was $30...
 
Neat. Picked up SF3: 3SO. Pretty fun. I hope the last 3 days are good sales (the one day sale runs till January 2nd.. the leaked list shows up to 30th.. 3 more days after that.
 
[quote name='musdy']New Vegas is a terrible game.[/QUOTE]
New Vegas is a fantastic game, and while I haven't played Skyrim yet, it easily overshadows Bethesda's previous two entries this generation.
 
Fruit Ninja is fun as hell but you'd be better off finding a deal on Gunstringer, since that's also awesome and comes with a free copy of FN.

Thanks for the heads up.. Haven't seen it on sale yet or during boxing week but hopefully soon.
 
[quote name='penetratingpincer']Can anyone elaborate what's in the "Halo Reach Inhalte"?[/QUOTE]

No one knows for certain. What seems to be happening is that season passes (ie map packs and other items) are going on sale half price. Or this could be a sale of just the map packs.
 
Really skipping all these days of "deals" except for Halo:Reach, tomorrow, if it's so. And since I passed on the so-called BF deals... make it so! :)
 
Just throwing this out there, but to fill me up for the Red Dead content, if anyone wants an Anniversary Map Pack code and has a 400 MSP code, PM me.
 
Speaking of that Red Dead DLC, is it all on the Undead Nightmare disc? :S I have the original and Undead Nightmare, though I haven't touched either of them yet. >.< Is there any DLC I'm missing out on?
