Lara Croft for 600 MS points is a pretty good deal IMO.

Lara at 600 should be insta-buy. Especially so now the co-op and free dlc is out too.

Yes.

XBL needs to have more sales, price reductions, and promos. WHile this sale is nice, these type of events need to happen more often.

 

[gkryhewy]

I need a pony.

I agree. I think more money would be spent especially on older games if this was the case.

All of the clues on the dashboard pretty much confirms this. I bet the Sonic shit is gonna be on the 30th.. it's their "super secret" sale.

 

[szaromir]

I agree. I think more money would be spent especially on older games if this was the case.

Yeah, it's human psychology to buy stuff on sale even if one didn't want the product in the first place. It's especially scary when one has credit card. I avoid Steam at all costs during this period.

 

[brentech]

Appreciate the post as I've been busy on the PS3 with GT5, probably wouldn't have noticed this sale.
Picked up the other 2 RDR addons since I already had the Undead Nightmare pack (with my free 800 points from the November spend 2400 get 800). Good day!

 

[Benjamin1981]

If that list is accurate i'm buying the Halo Reach Noble map pack, Limbo and Alan Wake The Writer DLC.

Sucks that i bought Lara and Sonic 4 for full price though not that long ago.

 

[Shig]

XBL needs to have more sales, price reductions, and promos. WHile this sale is nice, these type of events need to happen more often.

They have a handful of items as Deal of the Week, every week. I agree that they should do more at a time, but they do sales consistently.

*glares at Nintendo*

 

[Schmitty]

Picking up the Borderlands add on for sure.

 

[LQX]

Just the list. I have been looking at that pet monkey for awhile. If it does indeed go on sale it is mine.

Also the FREE glasses and premium theme is already up. Last years theme was pretty good.

 

[Alucrid]

I was hoping for Costume Quest.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Afterburner is a must buy at that price.

If you're still not sure:

Afterburner Quick Look

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I was hoping for Costume Quest.

And DeathSpank....

But I will get Lara Croft and Limbo.

 

[FrankT]

So noble map pack should be what 400? I'd take it.

 

[tea_and_crumpets]

Picked up Undead Nightmare and Banjo Twooie (is the frame rate fixed?). Good deals.

Might get Limbo if its down to 800 points.

 

[def sim]

So noble map pack should be what 400? I'd take it.

That would be amazing, but I bet it's going to be 600. A bunch of previously 800 priced DLC were only reduced by 200, so it's likely.

 

[Doodis]

If one were to choose between Lara Croft, Afterburner, and Hydrophobia, what would the suggestion be?

 

[Speedymanic]

Well that's easy. Lara Croft all the way.

 

[gdt]

I bought FO:NV Dead Money, Undead Nightmare, AW: The Writer (ugh, just saw it'll be on sale later), and Super Meat Boy.

Anything cool left for 360 points?

 

[DSc]

Undead nightmare is mine for 600.

Still crossing fingers for ME2 DLC (Shadow Broker) & BFBC2 Onslaght Mode.

Selected Bad Company 2 content, including Onslaught mode, has had a price reduction. It's not advertised, but if you look for it it's there.

We hope that you're having a fantastic time playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. We have more exciting news regarding the previous Battlefield: Bad Company 2 add-ons for the PS3 and Xbox 360: we've reduced the prices!

Shortcut Kit - $14.99 (1200 MS Points)
VIP Pass - $9.99 (800 MS Points)
Onslaught - $4.99 (400 MS Points)
Shorcut Packs (4) - $4.99 (400 MS Points)

If you haven't experienced these yet, now is the time! They can be purchased via the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in-game store right now.

[ACESandEIGHTS]

That's it then, I'm gonna buy the Undead collection. Don't buy too many of those, I don't want them to run out.

 

[BigMack]

If that list is accurate i'm buying the Halo Reach Noble map pack, Limbo and Alan Wake The Writer DLC.

Sucks that i bought Lara and Sonic 4 for full price though not that long ago.

Well, you'll know next year not to buy anything from the Summer of Arcade promotion at full price since it seems MS will have them all on sale for Christmas.

I'm actually surprised they would make it this blatantly obvious (to anyone who pays attention that is). Think they did the same thing last year with the SoA games too.

Too much stuff on this list that I want. Was hoping for a sale on both Death Spank games and Costume Quest, but if the list is true, that is more than enough to keep me busy for quite a while.

Awesome!! Sly dogs

 

[BigMack]

Looks like MS took down the "Enter and Win" thing from the dashboard, which had that list of eligible content. Must mean that the list posted is legit then.

Lara Croft for 600 MS points

awesome! I was expecting 33% off


I don't see it at all in that link though, did they remove it?

 

[Chittagong]

Seeing Alan Wake: The Writer at 560 points, is that discounted already? It's Wednesday in UK.

 

[AndresON777]

I'm guessing I still need the full red dead game even if I get the 1200 point pack?

 

[okenny]

They are apparently for all Xbox Live members (both silver and gold).

What the hell is Xbox Live Silver? Is there a third teir? I know of XBL Gold and Free.

 

[Nelo Ice]

I'm guessing I still need the full red dead game even if I get the 1200 point pack?

yep only way to avoid buying the full game is getting the disc version

 

[Grisby]

Bought Claptraps RR and Undead Nightmare. Looking forward to buying all of the ME2 DLC.

 

[kuYuri]

Seeing Alan Wake: The Writer at 560 points, is that discounted already? It's Wednesday in UK.

That's the normal price.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Yeah, I think the only thing not on the list is Hydro Thunder. I'm thinking it will be 600pts.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Anyone know how long Undead Nightmare will be 600 points?

 

[Tornado Condor]

What the hell is Xbox Live Silver? Is there a third teir? I know of XBL Gold and Free.

Silver is the free one

 

[Mastah]

Anyone know how long Undead Nightmare will be 600 points?

[Proc]

Does anyone have anything good to say about the online packs for read dead?

Sounds like getting undead nightmare on its own is the way to go.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

And the deals went live at 2 or 3 am, so you only got a few hours left.

Phew, it seems like I just scraped in! Thanks a lot guys! Downloading now!

 

[MikeE21286]

grabbed the Undead Nightmare Collection today for 1200pts/$15

Not a bad deal.

 

[Big Chungus]

How long do the daily deals last?

Just the day they're posted?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

grabbed the Undead Nightmare Collection today for 1200pts/$15

Not a bad deal.

I’m still annoyed that I got all the other Red Dead DLC just last week and missed out on all the specials!

Well at least I got Undead Nightmare at a decent price. That kinda softens the blow a little bit for me.....

 

[jgkspsx]

XBL needs to have more sales, price reductions, and promos. WHile this sale is nice, these type of events need to happen more often.

Are you serious? They have these sales constantly, at least for Gold members. At least since October, when I got my 360.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

XBL needs to have more sales, price reductions, and promos. WHile this sale is nice, these type of events need to happen more often.

I agree. Basically, it needs to be more like Steam.

 

[Mastah]

Today's deals are indeed Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light for 600 MSP and Pet Monkey for Avatar for 120 points.

 

[firehawk12]

Man, so they're basically giving you all the Summer of Arcade titles at half off... Not complaining, but yeesh. :lol

 

[feel]

Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light for 600 MSP

Come here you.

 

[AndresON777]

Does Lara Croft suck if you don't play coop?
