[quote name='marineal']i found Deathspank selling for $5 dollars (400 points) on bestbuy.com [/QUOTE]
Nice find. I would get it if I didn't have like 4000 points sitting in my account. Hopefully it goes on sale for 400 soon on XBLA
 
[quote name='Sath666']Nice find man. Is Arkadian Warrior any good?[/QUOTE]

I'd wait and see if it's discounted even further sometime, unless you have a dungeon crawler fix that desperately needs satisfying. It's bland.
 
This is the best sale they've ever had. I had already bought Guwange. It was ridiculously good, $70 import shooter good. Then, Radiant Silvergun and Bangai-O at those prices?! Man, it was like a wishlist I never thought to compile. Top notch.
 
Nice sales and nice DLC for xbla games and gears3.

Spent more points than I have in the last 2 months.

I will try Guwange again. At full price it was an instant no... but maybe on sale.


Arkadian Warriors I bought when it was new. It was good for it's time on xbla, but there are so many better games now.
 
[quote name='RollingSkull']If this is Japan's finest, I'd hate to see their worst.

Couldn't resist.
[/QUOTE]

Please don't feed the troll guys. Just put him on your ignore list.

[quote name='marineal']i found Deathspank selling for $5 dollars (400 points) on bestbuy.com [/QUOTE]

Awesome find. I own it on PS3, but seriously considering double dipping, as it is one of my favorite downloadable games!
 
[quote name='Zonic505']Capcom just announced the Capcom Digital Collection containing 8 of their XBLA/PSN games for only $40. I did the math & that's $60 savings if you bought the disc rather than downloading all 8 games (& Rocketmen's DLC)[/QUOTE]

haha, kinda funny how they choose to put BC Rearmed 2, but not first game, which is supperior in every single way! :lol:
 
I'm sure I have missed it at some point but a sale on Limbo would be great. Loved the demo for that game but just can't convince myself to pay full price.

The Xbox Live Arcade Triple pack is $12 today on Bestbuy.com OOS online so maybe find it in store
 
It's been on sale before, it'll probably be on sale again. One of the biggest ripoffs on XBLA @ MSRP, but worth it when it drops to 1/2 off.

Will wait for a sale on this, but it's definitely a good collection!!
 
[quote name='Sath666']haha, kinda funny how they choose to put BC Rearmed 2, but not first game, which is supperior in every single way! :lol:[/QUOTE]

I think's because Rearmed 1 was rated M and the pack is rated T.
 
[quote name='GodOfUncharted']Did we find out what the countdown to 2012 sales were in advance last year?[/QUOTE]

I don't believe so.
 
[quote name='GodOfUncharted']Did we find out what the countdown to 2012 sales were in advance last year?[/QUOTE]

I think so. We got hints or something.
 
Of course this sale would hit when my Gold expired for the first time since signing up... and I actually want 3 of the 4 games. Really tempted to do the "1 month for $1" offer, despite the horror stories I hear about cancelling auto-renew...

Don't believe 'em. It's super easy to turn it off on their website now.

You can cancel autorenewal through the website now. No hassles at all.
 
[quote name='tylerh1701']I think so. We got hints or something.[/QUOTE]

yea. they posted fairly obvious hints for each day once the sale kicked off.
 
The December price drops are now showing up on xbox.com - I'm considering Boogie Bunnies for 400MSP right now.

EDIT: Looks like they're not all showing up - Zombie Wranglers is still 800MSP
 
[quote name='Gabrius']Sonic CD - is it really worth waiting to save a couple of dollars max?[/QUOTE]

Think about where you're asking that question.
 
Just picked up Deathspank from Bestbuy, and am now waiting for the email with my code.

Also, I bought Sonic CD, and it's awesome
 
[quote name='Surreal_Sunshine']Think about where you're asking that question.[/QUOTE]

Exactly this. Sonic CD is 100% worth it for it 400 MSP. So is Mercury Hg.

That being said, am I going to sit and wait for them to go on sale? Damn right, I am.

don't listen to this guy, limbo is an absolute masterpiece
 
[quote name='Barry Burton']don't listen to this guy, limbo is an absolute masterpiece[/QUOTE]

...and this guy is drinking the Kool Aid.

LIMBO is an average experience at best, and absolutely not worth $15. The very best of the XBLA library is not easily justified @ 1200 MSP.... I laugh when someone tries to do so for this game, usually.

To see it done on CAG just makes me cringe.
 
Wow, multiple people trying to justify LIMBO's way too high price on CAG... I really thought I would never see this day. I'm sad now.
 
[quote name='Jabrim']+1 Limbo is a piece of art.[/QUOTE]
More like a piece of FART!

Seriously though, haven't played it though and I rather get it at around 400 points.

A moment of silence for the death of frugality.

I agree with you 100% way over priced for a mediocre game with little to no replay value

But that's my opinion I didn't see the hype

yes i am drinking the kool aid of limbo, you say that like i should be insulted

i would take limbo over 90% of retail games

average experience? wow just wow

LIMBO over 90% of the retail games released?

....time for a new hobby?

EDIT: Apoligies, CAG. I'm done. This is the XBLA sale topic, not the discussion as to whether a 1 hour long game with no replay value, plot, color, or soul is worth the full price that games ten times better charge for admission. I'll stop my needless campaign of hatred immediately, and people can waste their hard-earned money if they want.

Deal?
 
Limbo is just utterly mediocre. At $5 I'd be insulted. Newgrounds has better quality, more inventive, more interesting, just plain superior games for free

And yes, you can't have this party without me.
 
Play the demo of [insert game title here] and see if you like it yourself. Why do you guys try and justify your opinions to others, oh wait - this is the internet...

I just like the game, if John Doe doesn't like it, it doesn't matter to me, my opinion is all that matters to me, just like every other cheap bastard on here.
