[quote name='Cornelius']FYI, poking in the OP for the next 30 minutes. I'll update this post when I'm done for the day.

Lol, god damnit you're around sooner than expected. I just finished a massive OP update I had in the works about an hour. I'm just missing Activision and the new Scratch & Match, do you have those done? Also, if you could fix the mess I made, I'd reallyyyy appreciate it. I tried a new approach with the BBcode and it totally backfired on me.
As for what I'm buying, holy crap more than I thought. I'm a huge fighting game fan, so I'm tempted to pick up SF3 & VF5 (never played a VF game before seemed like one of the more boring Japanese ones, but have SF3 on regular Xbox), also was really annoyed by the avalance of DLC for VF5, was at least putting it on sale not an option?
As I said before I've been holding out on DF Live, never thought it'd ACTUALLY get a sale. I'm surprised by all the hate, sure it's a grind sometimes, but aren't most things based on MMOs? Though I always played DF with a loyal companion, that might be why.
REALLY happy to see Braid finally on sale again, been waiting since around the time I bought my Xbox, loved the demo. I already have LIMBO and ilomilo (which I can't recommend enough, especially with the bonuses in Raskulls and a World of Keflings). ilomilo also has some pretty cute avatar stuff, in case that matters to you.
The Activision sale is for the most part a giant repeat but that's not necessarily a bad thing (Assault Heroes 1 & 2, and Geometry Wars 2 were included in that massive Back2School sale, kinda regret picking up the AH games instead of Warp now because of this repeat sale..) but I'm loving seeing WFC for such a low price, had always meant to pick up the game because I got the 2 DLC packs (also on sale during Back2School, and stuff I would have waited on 'till now) but the disk copy is still so expensive. But I see I'm not the only physical-disk lover who is tempted to cave on this. The only GoD I have is Crysis, afterall..
Arkadian Warriors also being on sale despite a price drop not too long ago is nice. Speaking of repeats, it's a shame they're not donating to CoD DLC sale proceeds like last time. Would have been more convinced to pick them up, they must be desperate now for sales if they're gonna have a repeat of a sale that took like 2 years after release to happen.
I'd say Prototype is worth a $10 GoD, there's no DLC to worry about buying either. They missed a big opportunity though to put the Prototype 2 DLC on sale considering all the people who bought it from Best Buy over the last month.
Also, a solid Family DotW, gotta pick up dat Monkey's Island.
And I think I'm finally gonna give in and pick up Fable Heroes if I can afford it. Jesus, this week's expensive, spending another $30 at least. Next week is a little easier since I think I own everything I want by Double Fine (aside from Psychonauts), but that Toy Soldiers sale is so damn tempting.
Damnit Microsoft, if you keep up the sales intensity, all you have to do is start offering free games with a subscription and you'd be wrecking Sony right now.
