Xbox LIVE Countdown to New Year’s Eve

[zerosum]

For the first time in a long time I'm starting to develop a waiting list of pending games. I haven't even started Mass Effect 2 (glad to see I'm not the only one on that boat) - regardless, picked up this ME2 deal (couldn't go wrong at that price). Now it's just a matter of getting to it.

Between work, family, and other hobbies, I think most of here have a very sad collection of neglected games on our shelves.  I've had Fallout 3 unopened for nearly 2 years.    




ps.  Today's deal is Monday Night Combat - 600 MSP (50% off) and an Avatar Zombie Mask - 80 MSP (50% off).

So, are these deals only valid on the ay they're offered or do they stay valid until new years day or what? Because I wanna buy a few of the things there but I won't have any money for another couple of days yet >.<

Daily deals are just that 'daily'.  Valid for just 24 hours so snap them up quick.

There are some arcade games (see first post) that are reduced until New Years.


On a side note, I nipped out and bought ME2 to go with the DLC I got this week...only a tenner.

Damn families!

Might see if I can get a cheap copy of ME2 tomorrow, so I can play my DLC.

Sounds about right. Fallout 3 took me over a year's time to get through and I'm sure there's a grip of areas I haven't arrived at yet. Having Mass Effect 2, Fallout: New Vegas, RDR, plus whatever's down the road isn't looking too promising. In the grand scheme of things, it's a problem worth having...as long as there's time at some point.

Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles for me then, maybe Sonic 4, not bothered about Adventure.

Over half of the daily deals so far have been for games and DLC that I've already paid full price for. D: And Sonic 4 wasn't worth 1200MSP, so this deal doubly pisses me off

[GamerMan316]

I've been impressed with the deals over the past week or so, missed a few because I was keeping 800 points back for Dead Rising: Case West but seeing as I haven't got around to starting Dead Rising 2 yet I might just wait for that and use the points for something else, decisions decisions!

I got burned with "early buyer remorse" a couple years ago.  Ever since, I refuse to pay full price for anything on XBL Marketplace, unless I absolutely cannot wait for some reason (like the Marvel Ultimate Alliance DLC).

The irony ... this results in me buying A LOT of stuff on XBL Marketplace.  If something goes on sale, and I have any interest in ever playing it, I buy it.  I probably own 100+ arcade games that I haven't even downloaded yet.

I think i've bought 3 points cards this year and got one for Christmas, still have 2500 points on my 360 to spend yet too.
