Mark of the Ninja for sure
Fez if it's 50% off
Skyrim (probably not, but if it's super cheap...)


How much is Bully normally (US dollars)? It's showing up as $9.99 -- is that the sale price? I'd guess so.

I understand that but Major could have spoke about the deal yesterday. There's nothing at all in xbox.com not even a small teaser, talk about marketing.

By the way I bought

Joe Danger 2
Zuma
Fire Pro Wrestling
and Jet Set Radio

Nice deals :) Except for the Simpsons where 200 points is all I 'm willing to invest (Same for X-Men last year)

Lots of these are going to be price dependent for those things that don't have prices. Those that do...yeah, I'm probably going to spend my backlog of Xbox Live points big time!

Anyone else thinking about buying Borderlands 2 on GoD then dumping their disc if it's >$30?

Also, I know Simpsons Arcade has been cheaper because I have it and my buy price for it was 400MSP.

Grabbing Bully at that price.
How do the other LEGO games hold up against the Complete Saga? That was the only one I really liked.

question about MS Points... Do I need them to buy this stuff online? I just got an Xbox and I'm wondering can't I just add my credit card info and pay for things like that? Also, I am in Canada and at BestBuy it is 19.99 for 1400 MSP (so technically 9.99 for 700 MSP) ... in the OP the prices are stating 800 MSP or $10. Is 800 MSP = $10 US and not applicable for Canada?

Yes, you need MSPoints. You can add a credit card to your account, but you'll need to buy mspoints first and then buy the content.

800 MSP is 10 dollars in the US. Both the market and the currency are restricted by country. You can't buy MSPoints from US and use them on the Canadian store.

Also, some promotions/releases are US-Only, so you won't be able to enjoy them in Canada.

I strongly suggest making a United States Gamercard and using it as your main one (I'm from Brazil and that's how we do it). You won't be able to associate your Credit Card to your account, but you can always buy the points digitally.

The other option is to create a US Gamercard and not use it as your main one: If you want a game that's only available on the US Store, use that one to buy it: It'll be assigned to both that Gamercard and that Console, so you can use it on the other gamercards available on the console (this can be done with every region).

You're in Canada, so this is not such a main point of concern to you: Even though the Canadian store doesn't get ALL The content, I don't think, it gets most of it at a decent price.

The Brazillian store, on the other hand...

Lots of stuff I want. Might pick some stuff up, get Dark Souls, and then be done buying gaming things til GTAV.

Will probably get:

Super Meat Boy (1200 > 600)

Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain

Borderlands 2 Season Pass

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dawnguard
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Hearthfire

Really good timing for the BL2 Season Pass as I'm getting near the end of my 1st playthrough. Hell yea. Nice sale.

If I can get a game for the same price on xbl that I can for selling the retail copy then yeah, I like to go mostly digital now if the price is right on games.

Wreckateer is actually fun (for my kids). If was free a month ago and everyone I know that download it likes it. If you have kids I'd recommend it, especially for 200 points.

I was prepared to buy Kinect Party the moment it came out. Last month I even got some extra MSPoints cards in preparation.

It's a nice surprise that the game is free. Instantly downloaded!

It only costs money to transfer the songs on the disc.

Also it's like 5 bucks.

Surprised at some of those prices especially the Joe Danger 2 one.

Bought - Joe Danger, Keflings + DLC, Jet set Radio.

Like others have said today's prices give me hope for a few other items I wanted to pick up. Going to have to pick up another 2100.

If I recall correctly, when you transfer songs, you're actually re-downloading them as DLC.

And since they're DLC, they're technically available everywhere that uses DLC.

For instance: LEGO RockBand songs show up on Rockband 2, Rockband 3 and Rockband Blitz and I only paid for the export code once.

I paid for Rockband 1 transfer once, and it showed up on every game since then.

The transfer might be something between 5 and 10 bucks though. I don't quite remember - been a while and I think it changes depending on the game and the deals made at the time.

Yeah, the RB1 exported songs are just like any other DLC. They all work with any RB.

I'd have been all over Bully at 320 points but it's 840 here which is about the same as the PC version without any discounts.

Not sure what else there is that might interest me. Guardians of Middle-Earth probably won't be discounted, that I would actually buy at 800 points.
