[Archive 2011] Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week + Other Sales

[DFUSIONITE]

Chimes a good game and an easy 200G... definately worth 240msp. Wasted 5-6hours of my life.

I'm gonna grab PB Winterbottom and Poker Smash maybe ... Puzzle Quest 2 is out Wednesday. I thought i did well last week not buying anything ('cept the Defense Grid DLC) not it looks like an expensive week :/

I have now downloaded p b winterbottom, Chime, and sonic 2.

I downloaded Winterbottom, but not Poker Smash. Will wait for PQ2 to go DotW give me chance to finish my current Arcade selection!

good call. I am never buying a full price title again, i know as soon as i do it will be on sale a week later

I bought Lazy Raiders when it came out, i had a Wednesday off and wanted a new game.... that was ages ago and it was recently a DotW game too.

Although i think of it like buying a new game, if you bought RDR for £40. In 6 months it'll only be £15/£20. Same with Arcade games.



I'm not buying PQ2 because i have 90 boxed games and about 70 Arcade games..... that's too many for anyone in my opinion and i'm gonna have to cut down >_< *sad face*

It took a hell of an effort for me not to buy PQ2 today 

[Astrex]

Red just brought PQ2 would be funny if that went down in a couple of weeks

I haven't payed full price for an XBLA game since September 2009 (the day I created this thread).

I've only bought one and that was Perfect Dark, it was only 800 points though and thats as high as i'll go for an Arcade title.

[Jaynestown]

I stupidly paid 1200 points for NFL Arcade when it was released, what a pile of crap!

[DFUSIONITE]

Add poker smash to my list, got it last night.

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.
