So, If i have the original UNO, is Uno Rush worth it? Or shall I save for Monkey Island or the Maw? I havbe 400 points left and want the CAG's opinions on what to get. I got SC, MvC2, and Worms 2 so far. Of them all SC is my fav. So any opinions on what to get in the coming deals?
 
It says 800, but only took 400. I bought it from the Dashboard. So jump now if you are going to.

For $5 I'll at least have a game on the back burner to waste time with

I personally think Uno Rush is worth it, I bought it at full price. But if you've only got 400pts left to consider using I'd hold off for something else. Uno Rush is like regular Uno on crack... you actually have to think, and think fast. If you've got friends to play with that sweetens the deal. Try the demo and decide from that.
 
[quote name='evophile']I own it already, but today is a winner!

Marvel vs Capcom 2 for 560 space bucks http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/us-GB/games/offers/00000001-0000-4000-8000-000058410976?cid=SLink

Also a supposed list leaked the other day that everyone thought was fake b/c yesterdays deal didn't match up. However turns out other regions did in fact get Rez. Stolen from Eurogamer, this list is probably not 100%, and probably either came from EU or ASIA territory. Also the BF1943 original price is wrong.

22th, LIVE Arcade Rez HD, 800 -> 400
23th, LIVE Arcade MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2, 1200 -> 560
24th, LIVE Arcade, UNO Rush 800 -> 400
25th, LIVE Arcade, The Secret of Monkey Island 800 -> 400
26th, LIVE Arcade, Magic:The Gathering 800 -> 400
27th, Fallout® 3 DLC 400
28th, Guitar Hero 5 Rolling Stones Live Track Pack 720 -> 320
29th, LIVE Arcade, Braid, 1200 -> 560
30th, LIVE Arcade, Castle Crashers, 1200 -> 560
31th, LIVE Arcade, Battlefield 1943, 800 -> 400[/QUOTE]

Looks like the 29th 30th and 31st deals are for me .
 
[quote name='confoosious']Still 800 for me.


How fucking hard is it to change a price?[/QUOTE]

Geez, I thought it was just me and was caused by me being in the UK on a US account, but I guess not.

I'm not buying till it says 400, I've been put off it now due to other comments in the thread TBH.
 
[quote name='Brother Daz']When I go through my dash its 400, I just picked it up for the wifey[/QUOTE]

Thanks for pointing that out. Just got it as well! Kind of ridiculous it took so long to fix something like this, though...
 
[quote name='tyrok3k']Uno was always 400 points.[/QUOTE]

Ha. I have Uno from the comp disc and I just assumed it was 800. Since it's only 400 pts, I bought it for the convenience of not having to put the disc in. I picked up Uno Rush since they finally fixed the price.
 
[quote name='BingoBrown']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.[/QUOTE]

At least you were able to get the 2010 glasses for free. I missed out on it. I didn't even know they were having deals! DAM YOU MS!

Yeah, sucks to be you! No matter what you do your avatar will never look as much like a dickbag as mine does!

I hope they have some more free avatar gear so my avatar can reach maximum douchelocity so he can transcend time and taste.
 
Hmmm, if I get Shadow Complex, the Fallout 3 DLC I need, Magic and Monkey Island I'm short like 55 points. Damn you MS and your screwy spacebucks! OK, how do I get a 100 points on the quick?

cheapest bet now as most stores are closing I'd say picking up 500 from MS directly

I'd definitely skip Uno Rush and get Monkey Island, but they are all different styles of games. If you have Uno then Rush is a pass. The Maw is good too, but more action oriented. Just depends on what type of game you want.

I plan on picking up all three since luckily I stocked up on points awhile ago.

Thanks for the advice CAG's. Gonna pick up Maw and Monkey Island for sure and skip on Uno Rush.
 
Buying Uno Rush. Average score 7/10 but the price is right for it even if it is just a glorified update of the first game. Monkey Island is at a good price too but I already got it anyway when it first came out.
 
[quote name='Xfactor19990']man no deals on Trials HD :([/QUOTE]

some of us are still waiting on SPIKE TV's game sweepsteaks...plus Trials hasn't even been out long to hit the deal shelf yet. but yeah, it would have been sweet.
 
fuck how did i miss that :(

well if for some reason some extremely nice CAG gets Trials and is like hmmm i feel the need to give it away, please give it to me haha
 
doesnt UNO Rush end at 12 PST? for some reason it still shows as 400 points but when I goto buy it it shows it as 800 points again
 
[quote name='richyanks']doesnt UNO Rush end at 12 PST? for some reason it still shows as 400 points but when I goto buy it it shows it as 800 points again[/QUOTE]

First I had troubles downloading it due to "can't retrieve xbox live data" and then this and it wasn't just recently, I've been trying to buy Uno Rush all day. It says 400 on the picture and when you try to buy it it said 800. I said maybe it's a typo so tried to buy it and it was like you don't have enough points. WTF I actually wanted this one, it's the only game out of all of these that I did not have, I feel like I was ripped off.
 
Just tried buying it myself and when you go into it, it still says 800. Wouldnt have minded buying the game myself, but I suppose I'll wait until they fix it, hopefully.
 
[quote name='utstick']If you go into it through the dashboard, it will show with the correct price through the countdown to New Years...[/QUOTE]

I went through that and it still shows 800 after you enter the buying mode. Right before you buy it, you confirm the download, which then shows the "old" 800 price
 
Godfuckingdamn it I just bought Uno Rush for 800 points. The dashboard said it was 400 still. I saw the 800 on the confirmation page after it was too late.

Lol, they still havent fixed it? Maybe its a sign telling us not to buy it >_>. I was personally planning to buy it if it was on sale though. (Still have around 6.9k points from the Targets coupons). Hoping the rest of the sales on that leaked list are correct though, i want that Monkey Island tommorow.

Email them asap, they have to honor the deal, other people said this before. Just explain them what happened.
 
If Monkey Island is legit, looks like I'll be buying yet another arcade game.

In recent memory, I've bought Peggle, NHL 3 on 3, Worms 2, Avatar Golf, Shadow Complex, and Marvel v Capcom 2 all on sale. Luckily Santa brought me another 1600 spacebucks - the madness shall continue!
 
Nice - hopefully I'll remember to buy this later today - need to go get 3 hours of sleep before the kids bug me about opening presents...
 
Any benefits to buying Monkey Island on the 360 verses the PC? They're the same right? I picked up the PC one during black friday on steam for cheap.

The PC one is probably better due to point and click interface.
 
Man this is ridiculous. I bought Uno Rush last night and it came up for 800 points but only deducted 400 after I confirmed. Now I wake up to buy Monkey Island and an additional 400 points has been deducted.

Edit: WTF, after emailing Xbox support I looked at my balance and it is back up to what it should be.
