[quote name='SimaYi']Thumbing down the Uno Rush deal for the average Joe for three reasons:

1. They released it at $10
2. It released with TONS of bugs, that didn't get fixed until months after
3. The online community is dead, the Original Uno has a community tenfold this.

I actually like this one more than the original, but regardless thats my two cents[/QUOTE]

Really? Hmmmm...

I sometimes pop into the original Uno and it's pretty dead. That's the problem with these arcade games, you never know if people will just abandon it and there's absolutely no play value by yourself.

How's the community on Catan or Carcasonne?

I bought Lost Cities and those bastards deactivated it. So now there's like 2 people who play it. ever.
 
[quote name='DiRT_X']He means it has offical 360 controler support built-in, and shows the proper 360 button prompts like on console.[/QUOTE]

Yea I hate games that are like "press button 6"... WTF is button 6? or a game that only supports 1/2 of the inputs.
 
xbox live is going wonky. they're attempting to upload the disney avatar items, which are showing up on the marketplace, but not allowing me to view individual items. I will be PISSED if shadow complex shoots back up to 1200 points because I was about to buy it.
 
Shadow Complex IS 800 points. All of XBL's Deals Of The Week/Deals Of The Day require a gold membership for the discount, so you won't see the sale price if you're a) not a gold member or b) not logged into Xbox.com if you're doing it online.

Log in on the website, and if you're a current gold subscriber (48 hour trials DON'T work, 1 month trials do), you'll see the discounts.
 
[quote name='jaa1311']shadow complex is showing 800 points for me. picking it up right now[/QUOTE]

yea same for me. just bought it! :)
 
Confirmations are correct. Shadow Complex is still 800. Entered a one month code from GTA and got the game for the discounted price

People still play Catan, myself included. There's a regularly active community.

I just polished off Uno Rush a few weeks ago (before the deal) and had no problem finding games. The difference with Uno Rush is that everyone plays PLAYER matches and not ranked.
 
Uno Rush shows as 800 points for me on my console and on the web site. I have Gold. Shadow Complex shows as 800. Odd.

My son has been begging me to get Uno rush for months now and I refused since it was $10. I'll get it at $5, if the price would show up right.
 
[quote name='eastx']That's enough trolling. Go back under your bridge.[/QUOTE]

Shut the fuck up. That list is terrible and you're an idiot if you're defending it.
 
Has anyone posted this list yet?

No, you're trolling and have nothing of value to add to this thread, and most likely this entire forum.

Should be 400 now.
 
Checked out the Uno Rush trial. Seems like a better way to play it on the console than the original one did since it's more fast paced and you're more focused on your own hand. Anyways, picked it up to play with the family today :).

I hope its true. Its seems like they're saving the best for last. I wonder which Fallout 3 DLC will be discounted. Hopefully its not Anchorage for the 3rd time.
 
Anyone getting the idea that these are permanent price drops disguised as 'daily deals' to urge sales? Most of the games on the leaked list are pretty old already and a price drop wouldn't be unreasonable. I think I'll hold off on Uno Rush for today...

Being that this is MS I doubt they would do that, but you never know. It would make a lot of sense for the Fallout DLC to be half off forever, seeing as with all the B&M sales its already cheaper to buy a physical copy of the Game of The Year Edition than it is to buy all the DLC online! (if you havent DLed any of them yet)
 
[quote name='Cameron4All']UNO Rush showed 400 for me so I just bought it.
It charged me 800
I am on the phone with Microsoft customer service now.[/QUOTE]

It shows up for 400 points, but once I get to the confirmation screen it shows it for 800 points.

That was exactly the case.
I am still talking with the xbox live representative.

They are transferring me to a Resolution specialist this time.

No, of course it has single-player. Come on.

And yes, it still has an active online community.

Have they fixed it yet?
 
Hmm, that's really weird. If you go to the Uno Rush page on the 360, it says 800 points under "Best-Selling", but if you go to the right to "Title", you can buy it for 400 points.

Edit: But when you do try and buy it for 400 points, it says "Can't retrieve information from Xbox Live"
 
[quote name='confoosious']Have they fixed it yet?[/QUOTE]


The Resolution specialist said that they (personally) were not able to credit the points back but they were escalating it up to their upper management for them to do it, and not to worry, it will be credited back.

They took my phone number and said they will be calling me back within 24-48 hours.

and yes.... I did get a referrence number
They were actually quite nice
 
Uno Rush is garbage, don't waste your money. Now if they would revamp the regular Uno with the Uno Rush UI, that would be something.
 
EPIC Fails all the way around MSFT? how hard can this be? I really want to take you up on the offers, but not if you're going to bait and switch us!
 
uno rush shows 400 on the web site now but when I click on the DL to xbox, it says 800 pts. grrr....

I hope that rumored list is true; castle crashers at 560 is great as is braid (but I already have braid).
 
Now it looks like the deals are starting to roll in. They're getting me to spend a lot more on Xbox Live games that I ever have before. MvC2, Shadow Complex, Battlefield 1943, Castle Crashers, and Braid might all be purchases for me. Awesome. After starting with the lame 2010 glasses for free (yeah, I'm rockin' them), this promotion has really picked up steam.

Exactly what i was reffering to in my issue I was talking about in my previous posts.
They did say they were going to credit me back. They just could not do it right then.
 
[quote name='James in VA']Really torn about MvC2. I love me a bargain but I suck really bad at fighting games. Still, when will I see this game this cheap again?[/QUOTE]

Probably never. Unlike Steam, MS has been really tight with their deals and majority of the deal of the weaks are titles that no one care for or a mere 33% off.
 
The 800 points showed for me on the screen, but when I got to the screen to buy it, it said 400 points.

Honestly, I have no idea how much it charged me.
 
[quote name='Cameron4All']Quoting MajorNelson's tweet:

If you are having problems w/ Uno Rush or the Disney Avatar stuff, fear not....the Operations team is investigating.[/QUOTE]

As Wombat would say, they have top men working on it.
 
Picked up Uno Rush a few hours ago, and it showed 800, but then at the confirmation it was 400, and it only took 400 MSP. Hopefully, Tale of Monkey Island will be 400 tomorrow! Thanks OP!
