How much does it cost to get all the Borderlands DLC individually? I'm just wondering how much of a savings the season pass is right now.
Click to expand...

they haven't released all the downloadable content yet, but the two packs available are 800 points each if bought outside of the season pass and it's reasonable to assume that the other two packs will also be 800 points each.

a saving of 1400 points (if the other two packs are 800 points each) if you buy the season pass today.

there's a new character available as downloadable content that isn't available through the season pass.

Not even 50% sale. Shame.

Wellll...if you want to try and fool your brain you can play with the numbers a bit:

regular DLC separately are 800 each = 3200 for all

Season pass is 25% savings on that

With this sale: 1800/4 = 450 each. An almost 50% savings on buying individually.

Actual Season Pass was for 4 DLCs which cost 800 MS points a piece.

So Total 4 x 800 = 3200, Season Pass normally sells for 2400.

On Sale Season pass is 1800 which is pretty decent.

DLC goes on sale for 50% off.

So when all the DLC goes on sale together is normally when people stop giving a rats ass about the game. The DLC may individually go on sale.

so in the long run you are spending 200 more on the 4 DLC (when they are 50% off).

Yeah that's how I was thinking, but I think I'm gonna just pass because I got the 2nd DLC free through that promo. I bought all the DLC packs for the first one when they were on sale, but I only ever played though the Zombie DLC.
I did rebuy the game on GoD...

I would have bought BL2 Season Pass for 1200, no question.

I think now, I'm just gonna wait for a sale on individual packs and buy maybe 2 of the best reviewed releases. I was pretty happy with BL1 only having Secret Armory and the Zombie one, so I dont think I'll feel I'm missing out on too much.

EDIT: Really hoping for 50% off Skyrim DLC now.

Since The Walking Dead didn't release in Australia, I wonder if they'll just skip a day...? It's gonna look weird on the dashboard down here.

If you're going to wait for it to go on sale, though, you may as well GotY it instead.

200 MSP?! So bought. The first episode sold me on it.

I have 1100 MSP sitting around any way which I was going to use for Trials Evolution before I decided against it. I'm looking forward to making tougher decisions in the subsequent episodes.

Hell yeah. Things worked out exactly how I predicted. Even better actually, due to not expecting Kinect Party and TWD E1 to be free at all.

How does Walking Dead run on the 360? Is there still a save glitch? I got the first two episodes for my PS3 through PS+ a while back, but I might just buy these instead.

listen to the mad man
Walking Dead is going to sell so well at that price. This is the first time in history where the (overall) critical consensus GOTY has been quite so cheap and widely available in the year it was released.

I guess now is the time to add some points to my American account. Does amazon sell MS points that they will email immediately?

Microsoft has listened to my hopes!

I've download all these awesome games for a bargain and I will download The Walking Dead in a couple of minutes.

- Bully
- Trine 2
- Mark of the Ninja
- Dust: An Alysian Tail

Awesome deals! I am really impressed. Xbox 360 has had a great year.

Downloading the episodes for The Walking Dead as we speak.

Though the initial menu still says 400 points at first, the actual download screen does show them for 200 each. So now I'm content.

Isn't the 360 version of Walking Dead suppose to be shit :/

Or was that an exaggeration?
Click to expand...

The stated that the 4GB slim model is having some freezing issues and problems with not being able to start Episode 2 after you complete Episode 1. Remember that is only for the disk retail version not the DLC version. Other than that everything plays fine. I am currently playing through it on the disk version on my old school Elite. All is fine over here and the game is great so far.
