* =  Want to Buy Games On Demand Using Microsoft Points? [customspoiler="GonD with MSP"]
Often overlooked, GoD are by default displayed in dollars both on Xbox.com as well as on the console, but on the very-first confirmation screen of the download process is the option to use Microsoft Points in place of real-world currency.

Through the console, after first selecting to download a GoD you are greeted by a familiar gray confirmation screen that pops up displaying the size of the download as well as confirming the price. At the bottom of this gray pop-up is the instruction to press the "X button" in order to change the payment type to MSP. Pictured below with an arrow:

On Xbox.com they've made it much more obvious, the confirmation "extra step" pop-up after clicking the download link displays a link that simply says "Use Microsoft Points" directly under the price in dollars at the top of the page.

The more you know....[/customspoiler]

Nothing for me for two weeks. I hope something good comes up on Tuesday. Was checking the xbldb and it seems some of the !ass Effect dlc hasnt been on sale since back in 2009-2010. Also just saw eastx posting on Xbox achievements. Nice to see him there, its like passing an acquaintence on the street.
 
I really hope Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon comes out this month to take advantage of the 800 point offer. Most likely no though.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/P...d-Dragon/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584113bf

"Far Cry® 3 Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter taking place on a bizarre open-world island crawling with evil. Welcome to an 80’s VHS vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who’s fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide. Playing Far Cry® 3 Blood Dragon doesn't require a copy of Far Cry® 3."

Coolness! Which thread did you see me in?
 
![quote name='wEEman33']Double Dragon II isn't old school.

It fails out of school with straight Fs.

Terrible game.[/QUOTE]

I had a pretty good laugh. Thanks.


Based on what little I've seen I don't get why they are adding a "3" after Far Cry in the XBLA game.

After playing the Terraria trial it feels like a 3rd person Minecraft and I'm okay with that.
 
[quote name='gamingdroid']I'm tempted to get Gears of War 3... wonder if it is a permanent price drop or a temporary one?[/QUOTE]

My guess is that it's permanent as the new GOW game is out so $20 for GOW3 seems about right. That and most of the price drops on GOD that haven't been part of a sale seem to be permanent as of lately. Also I can easily find a used copy for $10 here in Australia so it probably is that cheap overseas, hence needed a price drop.

Major Nelson tweeted that the Castle Map Pack for Halo 4 released today. Also, the previous map packs and the Season Pass will go on sale on Friday. Odd start day for a sale:

http://majornelson.com/2013/04/08/halo-4-castle-map-pack/

On Friday, April 12, there will be a “Halo 4” DLC sale for anyone who has not yet purchased the “Halo 4” War Games Map Pass or the first two individual Map Packs. A listing of the sale prices is as follows:

“Halo 4” War Games Map Pass: 1600 Microsoft Points (Originally 2000 Microsoft Points)

Crimson Map Pack: 600 Microsoft Points (Originally 800 Microsoft Points)

Majestic Map Pack: 600 Microsoft Points (Originally 800 Microsoft Points)

This one lasted more than 20 minutes! Amazing!

Thanks a bunch!
 
Hah, I was just wondering if the Halo 4 map pass would ever go on sale. 1600 MSP is a decent value, buuuuuttttttt I will probably hold out for 50% off, unless the next two weeks of sales are just that bad.

Off-topic: Just spent three days in the pokey. Protip: Avoid at all costs, especially if you are a non-medicated superfreak like myself. Oh, and if you're gluten-free like I am, sucks to be you...

Where does it say that the Frito Lay codes expire today? The promotion to get them expired but the codes should be good for a long time, except maybe the Xbox Live trial codes. I can't think of any codes for full XBLA games ever expiring.

Well over in the free section is a thread to drop these codes and it says "Redeem by 4/7!". Not 100% sure if thats true, but I'd rather people use them than them going to waste.

[quote name='MrNinjaSquirrel']well that didn't go as planned:drool:[/QUOTE]

Not sure if you are trying to be snarky. I posted codes I had no use for and people were able to claim them. So everything went pretty much as expected...

no, they don't stack. So thanks for wasting 3 codes on yourself:wall:

EDIT: also seems to be that if you are already a gold member then the codes don't even stack on that. So essentially you got nothing out of this.

I believe that may be the case. Either way, this individual does not merit any more of my (or any of our) attention.

so let me get this straight: you took the codes, to put on a secondary account, even though you already have a gold one, because you don't want the game on your achievement list:drool::oldman::headache:

EDIT: I have to agree with ooga and chuckie88. Good day, and goodbye. Enjoy your stinking codes.
