i wish they'd put DA:O - Awakening on sale...either through XBL or in-store somewhere. I want to pick it up but its sad now considering you can get the game cheaper than the actual expansion
 
I think you can get a sample of each and every pack that will be on sale for free right now (although it's just one car, no tracks), if you want to get a taste of it, I guess.
 
Thank you, by chance those which I had bought are not in the deal of the week! I will buy 4-5 packs , I love this game =)

Looks like your wish just came true. Not sure if it is the price point you wanted, but "Dragon Age" is getting the deal treatment starting next week.

:shock:

...

I wish I had 10 million dollars and a super model girlfriend

*crosses fingers*

:cool:
 
The "Dragon Age: Origins" deals are now live. The sale price on "Awakening" is actually 1600 instead of 2400.

The avatar t-shirts don't seem to be on sale yet, but most people are probably more interested in the game content anyway.
 
I have the CE for Dragon Age (still sealed, sigh).. none of this DLC is available from the CE right? I just want to make sure I'm not buying something I already have.

The DLC you get in the CE is The Stone Prisoner and Blood Dragon Armor, as well as a pack of 3 "Collector's Edition" items. Nothing that's on sale. Feel free to spend your MS pts!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age:_Origins#The_Stone_Prisoner
 
It would be nice is the original DA:O went on sale. So far the best price I've seen is $39.99, which is odd because I've seen ME2 on sale for as low as $19.99 and it's a newer game.
 
[quote name='Opopanax']Which DA:O things are actually worth getting?[/QUOTE]

Warden's Keep is essential because it gives you a chest you can store your items and equipment in. Awakenings is the expansion that takes place after the main story. For the number of hours of gameplay it adds, 1600 points is a great deal.
 
Looks like a potential GOTY edition is just around the corner as Gamestop has Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Ed listed on their site for a fall release. No info yet on what may or may not be included but you might want to take that into consideration before purchasing the expansion or any DLC.
 
Thanks for the heads up Eoyote.

I sort of expected them to release some sort of GOTY edition, but this is the first indication I've seen of it actually existing. Hopefully they'll give us some info soon.
 
I just went to the game marketplace under browse all and the Blood Dragon armor is there and it's free. I dl'd it even though i dont have DA:O yet.

NM Im an idiot, it's the trailer

any of the Bioshock DLC good? I hear the metro pack has some serious issue, but for 240 that sinclair pack seems like a safe bet.
 
I just updated the main post with the BioShock deals for this week. I am not seeing the price changes though ... is it just me? Or has anybody else been able to see the price drop? I am guessing they didn't flip the switch yet because the Dragon Age content is still showing the sale price from the last two weeks.

Edit -- prices for Bioshock are now live.
