Some DLC deals this week

Gigundo DLC Sale on the Marketplace

Beautiful Katamari (80 MSP each)  [Note: All seven of these downloads are required to obtain the 250 DLC gamerscore.]

    * Mechanical Katamari (was 200)
    * Dangerous Katamari (was 200)
    * Perfectly Sized Katamari (was 300)
    * Milky Way Constellations (was 200)
    * The Weaver Girl (was 200)
    * Shopping Spree (was 200)
    * High-Calorie Katamari (was 200)

Lost Odyssey: Seeker of the Deep (80 MSP, was 400) [100 gamerscore]
Mass Effect: Bring Down the Sky (80 MSP, was 400) [50 gamerscore]
Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus (FREE, was 800) [Note: The 250 DLC gamerscore on PSU is from the MMO portion of the game, which costs $9.99/month to play.]
Project Gotham Racing 4: Premium Challenge Pack (80 MSP, was 400) [170 gamerscore]
There are various other pieces of DLC floating around at greatly reduced prices as well, such as Bullet Witch costumes, Blue Dragon's Shuffle Dungeon, a Perfect Dark Zero map pack, Forza 2 tracks and cars, and the Kameo Power Pack. However, none of those include any achievements.

I have seen no confirmation from Microsoft or the publishers of these games that the savings are permanent, so grab these while you can! Of course, I've seen no confirmation that they aren't either, so if you'd like to take your chances and possibly miss out, be my guest. But don't say we didn't warn you.


Well i can't very well pass that up. looks like i will be dusting off PGR4 for another spin  :) Also has any one played after burner climax. I am tempted but i don't wanna get burned

I got the Lost Odyssey and PGR4 DLC and i also got After Burner Climax which had no gameplay and simply involves bouncing a plane around the screen whacking fire buttons. Enjoyable for an hour or 2.

Finished all the achieves in Afterburner Climax, now onto the Awards which are much harder and require you to complete the game atleast 10 times. Although you also need 10,000 kills and my best is 950 in one game, so maybe a few more.
