I just found out the GFW site got an update along with xbox.com. Surprisingly, the GFW site looks and functions BETTER than xbox.com. $:-\$

In celebration of the update, GFW has a daily deal each day this week in addition to the usualy Deal of the Week. The site forces me into the US site, so I can't be sure if this also applies to the UK. Someone take a look and let me know.

Today's (Sunday) deal is Age of Empires 3 for ... wait for it.... 10pence or 10cents depending on which side of the pond your on.

Get it even cheaper by paying 10msp for it (works out 85p)

There are "Games For Windows" titles & "Games For Windows LIVE" titles.
The "LIVE" titles have achievements. The regular GFW titles do not.
Wiki has a FULL LIST.

The holidays are just around the corner, and Blizzard Entertainment is doing their part to keep everyone jolly this season. They're selling the original World of Warcraft game for just $5 (reg $19.99). Plus, both expansions are on sale too. You can get The Burning Crusade expansion for an extra $5 (reg. $29.99), and the newest expansion, The Wrath of the Lich King, for only $10 (reg $39.99). With the Cataclysm expansion just two weeks away, this is the perfect time to pick up all of the World of Warcraft games for incredibly low prices.

If you're looking to try the game out for the first time, or renew your account for Cataclysm and have maybe misplaced some discs along the years, you don't have much to lose with this deal. You can also buy digital copies of each game/expansion for the same prices. Check out the Blizzard Store for all the deals.

I might get this, i'm looking into PC gaming as when my daughter is about she conviscates the TV to watch The Wiggles ...

I hate MMO's but i have a few hours every night where all i have is the lappy, so i could just piddle about scrounging in Warcraft or maybe hit some GFWL games for added achieves!
