Got Rayman RR so my girlfriend can play it.
Honestly.
Um ... no? And if so, where?
The point that I also tried to make is that usually games on demand are expensive, but this was even cheaper or same as used copy right now in Sweden. But you are welcome to prove me wrong. (And no, Amazon is not "Sweden")

Thinking of grabbing Dark Messiah and Raving Rabbids at those prices... the MSP have been adjusted for both (320msp is still more than the 240msp the US gets, but it's still better than the price earlier).
Gonna wait till the end of the week though to see the prices of everything else.

Holy shit I have never seen a sale like this on the console sideside. Bought a ton of games already. $2 for bioshock rivals steam sale prices.
Sucks.
Okay, there's no reason for any human with a 360 in North America not to buy El Shaddai now.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Not really digging the El Shaddai demo. Combat is frustrating, how am I supposed to win against enemies that always block and don't react to my attacks?

Just bought Halo 4 so I don't have to get up and put the disc in anymore.
I'm a terrible, terrible man.

i'm going all digital next gen for this very reason.
thanks! here's hoping for $3!
dishonored will be 40, AC may be 10
Doubtful, Dishonored will probably bump down to $35-$40 and most likely the same for Batman AC.
The combat system is pretty deep. There are several string combos, guard breakers, launchers, counters, and combinations of all of those on the ground and air, with four different fighting styles.
Here's a video showing a lot of the combos available in the demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvV4fi31BD0
Its a classic, buy it!
Absolutely.

Didn't Arkham City drop to 1040msp last year? I vaguely remember it being on sale for that price at one point, or perhaps I'm thinking about Arkham Asylum.

Wish they used more than one button.
Edit:
MGS and PW are both bound to be $10 or under, I have never played a Metal Gear game. Is it okay to start with 3? I know it is a prequel.
Using jump and the modifier button, you use three buttons to do a lot of the combos. Pretty awesome that so many of the combos only need one button and some creative timing, too.
Starting with 3 just means that if you then play 2 etc. afterwards they just feel more clunky and less well fleshed out.
Looks like for some games, yeah. Halo games are 20 bucks (Halo 4 is 39). GRIDis 10.

Definitely. It's not without faults, but it's a very solid game.

It's a port of the original Wii game, right ? I liked it a lot then, but I wonder how it plays without the motion controls...
I also added Bioshock to my download queue because of the messages above. I hate you all.
(I hope games releasing during sales period won't suffer from unfair competition... especially Metal Gear Rising, I wanted to buy it day 1 but haven't even finished the solo in Anarchy Reigns, and now I have 3 more full games to play).

Ok my 120 gb drive is now full. Guess I'll make a 320 gb one for the rest of the stuff this week.

Why does Bioshock cost 440 MS points? I thought they might be charging a premium on using pre-existing points for whatever reason, but I checked with Halo 3 and it's $9.99 or 800 points, so...
Not that there won't be anything else in the future to spend my points on, $4.99 it is.

I loved both, but GRID is my favorite racegame ever. Perfect mix between arcade and sim racing in my opinion. DiRT 2 should have had more rally races and less of the "extreme sports" stuff, but is a very solid and fun racer as well.

Another nod for GRID. I regret buying Dirt 2 as I don't see it getting much, if any play after having a quick session on GRID.
There's a problem with a few of the games when converted to MS points that show a higher price.
They are supposed to be working on it.
There's a problem with using MS Points atm. They're supposed to be fixing it later today.
Of course, they won't cry for anyone willing to update their CC info to buy the games at the correct sale price.

Amazing discounts. Just bought Bioshock on Brazilian Xbox Live for US$ 5,00.

Easily worth $5. People will have complaints, most focused on the last bits of the game, but even with those complaints you should be able to have at least $5 worth of fun out of the game. I'm toying with the idea of buying it for $5 to replay it since it's been years. I bought it originally for full price and felt it was worth it for that. For $5 it's well worth it.
