Uh, yeah. Xbox.com. Search for the game, click Buy, click Use Microsoft Points.
Yeah the new sales are daily. So expect an AC day, RE day and Borderlands day.
Check the OP. Those who hasn't been crossed out will be daily sales.
You can use up to 32GB from a USB connected Storage Device.
Yeah...I do have a huge external HD but it has the backup from mine and my girlfriend's laptops. How big of a download are full retail games usually?

Looks like a last ditch effort to garner some profit before the next Xbox.

Is there a reason I can't use points to buy stuff? I've had 300 points sitting on my account for months now. I just want to get rid of them.
You can, press X at the purchase screen.

I just logged into Xbox.com and bought El Shaddai for 200 points (Canada).

I don't know why, but for whatever reason I can't on the website. I'll have to try when I get home.

Is VF5 Showdown a complete package thing or are there in-game purchases involved?

it was double charging (i.e. 480 and now the correct 240)
Because it was overcharging before
So I'm assuming yes, it's charging the correct amount now
This sounds like a Steam sales thread comment.
Hm, on second thought, I might just pick up Halo Wars instead.
Both are phenomenal
insta-buy when it goes on sale then. I had to get rid of my PS2 before I was able to finish either of these games, so I'm excited for 'dem 60 frames per second.

Holy cats those are some good deals.
Maybe this is MS's way of softening people up before their always online/no more used games announcement.

The games listed in the OP are for sure going on sale?
Yes
For everyone waiting to grab VF5: FS next week, I thought I mention that it doesn't have Quest Mode like VF5 does, a mode that you could put hours and hours into. VF5: FS also requires you to buy costumes packs if you're into changing the outfits of your characters. I would say that VF5 is the game to get out of the two, but VF5: FS will probably have a larger online community
Just my two cents

Damn, there's a ton of awesome games there. Looks like I have the year's gaming menu already picked out for me, hah.
There are sales that last the whole week of the sale (already listed), and each day will have a different set of sales. Today is Haloday
Oh yeah, there's some pretty nice games on that list. Hopefully they get super big discounts.

So you're saying people should buy both?
I thought I would let people know. Both versions of the game are amazing, but.....
if you're not going to play online all that much, get VF5
if you're planning on playing online a lot, get VF5: FS
Just trying to help out the GAF community

Bought el shaddai and its frozen at 57%, hope it's just their servers or something.
Bought El Shaddai but damn if the download isn't going to take forever. It's the largest thing I've ever tried to DL on the 360 weighing in at almost 5 gigs.
12% after 30 minutes or so. Probably going to have to resume it tomorrow.
Edit- Wonder if the servers are taking a hit because of the sale.

Newer game is the better game right??? RIGHT??!!

It's the Wii game, ported over, half-assed, and also glitchy and broken.
I think 3's the best from every angle. Reach is still damn good and it makes more sense story wise since it's a prequel to everything.
Reach did use a new engine though so the graphics have a different look from 3 or ODST.
Yeah I seem to remember playing the wii version. This has to be the laziest port for a retail game I have seen on the 360. The resolution of the load screens is maybe 480i. The cinematics are 4:3. It is just so bad. Yet so completely simplistic that I cannot stop playing.

You'll never get a true consensus from Halo fans as to which one is the best. However for me Halo 3 has been the pinnacle of the series for me for a couple of reasons. It has the best weapon and vehicle sandbox in the series, offering a multitude of ways to approach scenarios. I wouldn't believe that Reach and 4 have larger enemy encounters than 3 unless someone counted them out in front of me, and the general flow of combat during the encounters is better than the other games. Halo 3 was the Halo game where every time I replayed a level I didn't know how the combat would play out, as opposed to Reach or 4, which went for a more linear approach to the levels, which was a poor choice IMO.
