[quote name='kburns10']Just noticed that in the Destination: Arcade section, it says that items are "non-longer working". Thought you might wanna fix it in case you didn't catch it. Thanks again for keeping this thread going![/QUOTE]

I already posted about this lol. But I guess it's hard to notice with all the posts in between. :roll:
Anyways, the Destination: Arcade "Boogie Bunnies sale" can be removed.
Edit: I think it's permanently 500 points for Gold members.

[quote name='chartchaiganan']Picked up Castle Crashers. Debating about Limbo. Would rather have it be cheaper :/[/QUOTE]

thats what i said, but broke down and bought it. so many people like/loved it, and it looks really good... so i said wtf, its $2.50 (extra) of fun money that has to get spent on games/game dlc anyway... may as well get something thats good. plus i dont want to wait forever to play this lol :)

Haha I could buy it now before I leave for the night but whatever. Hopefully it goes down in price eventually again. I don't mind waiting since I have many more games to play, and right now Castle Crashers is pretty fun.

Still kind of waiting for other sales too haha. Trying to think of what other games to get like Dance Central or AC:Brotherhood.
 
Only snagged Castlevania HD + DLC (ME2, AW) but I'm thinking I should have went for Red Dead DLC (just the Nightmare) + Lara Croft (already own it on PS3).
 
Wow, I spent much more than I was planning to spend during this sale. I ended up with:

Deadliest Warrior - 400 pts
Monday Night Combat - 600 pts
3 x Mass Effect DLC - 600 pts
Hydro Thunder - 400 pts

also picked up:
Force Unleashed DLC - 80 pts
MUA 2 DLC - 800 pts
MUA Juggernaut - 160 pts

Total Spent 3040. I kinda regret not picking up the Alan Wake DLC, but I didn't think I would play it any time soon just with the back log I had before this sale, not to mention everything that I just picked up. I was on the fence with Limbo and Comic Jumper, but I just couldn't pull the trigger with them only being 33% on sale. Sure enough, within the next few months, they will probably go on sale for 560-600 pts, and I wouldn't have even played them by then anyways, so I can wait.
 
fuck, fuck, fuck, credit card expired an hour ago and less than an hour until the sale goes down and I REALLY want Castle Crashers.

Curse you procrastination!

EDIT: Forgot I got a $100 Debit Card from my aunt for Christmas. Here's to hoping it works!

EDIT 2: Of course it doesn't. fuck. Maybe Castle Crashers will go on sale again later. If only Amazon still had the codes for sale I'd be set.
 
Lame!
Limbo for 800 points!

I'd bet my account that there will be a better sale for it in the coming year on XBL down. Or at least another one of those buy x # amount of game & get 800 points back promotions.

Did you activate the debit card?
 
[quote name='WTFer']Did you activate the debit card?[/QUOTE]

Actually, I didn't even know I had to do that. >_>; Never had one of them before.

And it turns out my dad renewed the credit card, so all I had to do was edit the expiration date. Got in on Castle Crashers. Now I can finally go to sleep. X3
 
ended up getting

Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Limbo
Lara Croft GOL
Castlevania HD
Mass Effect 3 DLC Packs
Dance Central $1 song

Not bad overall I think. Totally forgot Banjo Tooie was on sale for 600. Probably would have gotten that instead of Limbo.
 
I bought Limbo because it's cool, and I have not seen it onsale yet. $10 is doable $15 = too much. Been playing the last hour and what a blast! Worth 800 if your gonna hold out for cheaper you could say that on every game and never get anything.

That being said, I'm soliciting suggestions on how to make this thread better for 2011 since we will be nuking this thread and posting a new one in the next couple days/ Take a look at the FAQ and see if we need to cover anything. Also suggestions on price drops (Should I just leave it to a post as they happen?) and the What's In This DLC (Should that be post three after the FAQ?).


BTW, Thanks for all the kind words over the year.
 
I like the format as it is.

For price drops/changes, have a little section in the OP for "Price drops of the week" and then delete them every Monday and move them to their own section of the FAQ.
 
My purchases:

Makoto Nanaya
Valkenhayn R. Hellsing
Castle Crashers
Comic Jumper
Claptrap New Revolution
Undead Nightmare Collection
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Lair of the Shadow Broker
Sonic: Episode 4
Sonic Adventure

Overall, 5640 points spent. Granted, 4000 of them I got as a gift.

Also, already had some of the others that were on sale.

My suggestions would be to take advantage of Unordered Lists (found under the Go Advanced forum editor section) instead of dashes. Lists make things look sleeker and help you easily format things.

You could also add review links to items that are on sale. I always try to post reviews from IGN or other reputable sites in the Steam deal thread and it's gone over well. On the down side, it takes a little time to hunt for reviews.

Thanks always for doing such a great job with the thread!

You're already doing an amazing job with managing the thread, it's hard to think of a way to improve things. The only small suggestion I can think of is maybe placing a Metacritic link next to each discounted arcade game to avoid the clutter of "How is ?" posts.
 
I'd agree with the previous sentiments, although I personally recommend having the permanent price drop section be 30 days or so and dating each entry when it is added.

Thanks for all your work on this thread in 2010!

Thanks for the hard work. I think everything has been perfect.
 
I love this thread. Been my most visited one on CAG ever since you started this.
Thank you for all the great work, and I hope you'll keep it up this year as well :)

Thanks for posting that... I guess for all the hype I really didn't use most of the sales. I can't tell if I saved money or was fleeced for impulse buying stuff I didn't need. I guess a little of both.

How about listing the % or points off in that previous sale listing you have? Also keeping a seperate list like that for Price Drops seems a decent idea if you are already posting about them in the thread. Oh and definitely make the DLC post a mainstay, it's absurdly useful.
 
WOW! A lot of stuff was on sale for 2010. I actually went through and found everything I bought (and that's not including a LOT of Rock Band DLC, DLC for other games, random XBLA downloads, etc. :lol:). I left in that stuff with everything reddjoey posted:

And I decided to grab both of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLCs before yesterday ended (those points were supposed to go to Monday Night Combat for the holiday sale, but I guess I'll wait until another sale comes along to get that one). It doesn't look like I bought that much, but I saw quite a lot of sale-priced things I paid full price for (Alan Wake's The Writer DLC, 90% of all those songs/packs for Rock Band, some arcade games, etc.).

As for suggestions?

A Metacritic link, if possible (someone else already mentioned it). That's the only thing I can think of. If you think that a third post will make things even better, go for it. This is the one thread I always check week-to-week on CAG...even though I rarely post in it (people always tend to say things I'm either thinking or wondering :lol:). But I gotta say, reddjoey, you REALLY have done a great job with this thread. I think 2011 will be even better. :applause:


EDIT:

Apparently, this is my FIRST post in this thread. Weird. :whistle2:? Well, carry on...

This is why I just bought a new 250g HD today.

As for thread recommendations, the only thing I can think of, and it may not be a good idea at all, would be to make a 4 post OP. One for DOTW and Misc. Deals, a 2nd for Promos and Price Drops, a 3rd for New Releases, and a 4th for the FAQ. Just keep them completely separated?

Just an idea, and probably a bad one at that, this thread is one of the best maintained on CAG so just keep up the good work and there will never be any complaints on my end.
 
Thanks for covering the holiday sale and all the XBLA sales in general! Like many others, this is one of my most frequented places on CAG, and it's thanks to you reddjoey.

As a suggestion, eastx embeds videos of some of the games on sale in his steam thread and it's pretty useful at times. That might be worthwhile here as well, for the newly released games and DotWs that some people may happen to know nothing about or need that extra push to make a purchase. Other than that, everything else is great. Have a great year!
 
Thanks for all your hard work maintaining this thread. It’s always a helpful resource.

I like the suggestions to include review links (Metacritic); it's not essential, but it'd certainly be handy.

One suggestion I have would require some off-thread work from others, but I think it would be a great addition to connect the games that go on sale to the communities of CAGs that are playing them. I would have picked up a few more games had I known there was a good group of people regularly playing them.

There are a couple of groups that are setup well for games (COD, CAG Fighter), but it's pretty cumbersome for most games. For a while, I’ve wanted to help redo the Xbox Live gaming threads to make it much easier to find other CAGs. If anybody else is interested in developing a new, easy-to-find structure for group gamertags, game nights and the like, PM me and maybe this is something we can add to the CAG community this year.
 
This thread is amongst my most visited.

Also, I highly recommend Deadliest Warrior. The game is one of the best games based off a t.v./movie property that I've played.
 
As a fan of this thread, I'm liking all of the suggestions on how we could improve this thread for the new year. I think that if we want all of this improvements, this doesn't need to be a one man job..I saw that some one mentioned videos on new games and DOTW games, I could volunteer for that job to provide viewers with a sneak peek at upcoming games
 
I'm a new fan of this thread and can tell it will be one of my most visited. One suggestion I would offer is recording the prices from previous sales.

Lara Croft GOL, 600

ME2 3 DLCs, 600
Alan Wake DLC, 200
Limbo, 800

4000 pts on the nose. Futher I paid $40 for a 4000 pt card, taking advantage of Meijer Bucks in mid-December. Just an fyi, but Meijer runs Meijer Bucks coupons periodically during the year. Great way to stock up on XBL cards for $1 per 100 points
