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

[DFUSIONITE]

didnt spot the games at the bottom, i still won't be buying anything for a while though. Dead Space 2 is next and i may even wait til that drops a bit first.

good to see that your new years resolution is off to a good start, keep it up!!

I figured MS might "phone-in" the first DOTW after the Countdown to 2011.  Cool with me. Gives my poor wallet a chance to recover before the next hit.

True that.

Major Nelson has revealed what we can expect in terms of Xbox Live deals, Games on Demand and arcade releases for the next couple of weeks.

I'm waiting to hear more about the EA & Activision deals.  Figured the details for the Activision sale would've been leak/announced by now.

I wonder if they'll kill some old DLC prices like they did about a year ago when they dropped games like Perfect Dark, PGR4, Lost Odyssey and Kameo DLC.

I already owned all of this week's DOTW deals (minus the avatar crap).

I did pick up Arkadian Warriors and Assault Heroes 1 & 2.  I've been waiting years for Arkadian Warrios to go on sale.  Loved the demo.

Anyone tried Golf: Tee it Up? 

I fancy an arcadey golfing game, is this any good?

i tried the demo and i wasn't overly impressed, it's not a bad game though by any means and if it's 400 or less in the deal then i would say get it. (after you have tried the demo)
