Is Knothole Island worth buying? I bought the most recent one and honestly just wasn't feeling it very much and only got halfway through it...

 

[Littleberu]

Fable II Knothole Island add-on DLC is on sale for 560 points.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0ccf0004-0000-4000-8000-00004d5307f1?cid=SLink

Weird, it's still showing at 800...

 

[Az987]

[kuYuri]

Weird, it's still showing at 800...

Are you signed in? Are you a gold member? I see it at 560.

I've heard from a couple people that Knothole Island isn't very good.

 

[Psychotext]

Sweet. Have been waiting for this to drop in price.

Bought.

 

[Icarus]

I've heard from a couple people that Knothole Island isn't very good.

I loved it. It was more of what I'd already loved in the game.

 

[Haeleos]

I've heard from a couple people that Knothole Island isn't very good.

Not surprising since Fable II wasn't very good.

 

[TheFallen]

I've heard from a couple people that Knothole Island isn't very good.

I thought it was excellent. Lots of new items, several dungeons, a customizable island, etc. Definitely pick it up.

N+ is on sale for 400 points. Will post link later, as xbox.com is acting up for me.

 

[Grecco]

400pts. Actually.

 

[kuYuri]

400pts. Actually.

Oh, thanks. Major Nelson's RSS feed says 560 points for some reason.

 

[Kandrick]

Oh, thanks. Major Nelson says 560 points for some reason.

Microsoft had it priced at 560, but it was an error. 400pts is the correct price for this deal of the week.

 

[RBH]

N+ for 400 points?

Very tempting.....

 

[Proc]

N+ for 400 points?

Very tempting.....

I'm in if you are, it'll be an excuse to turn on my 360 before 1943 comes out

 

[Mrbob]

N+ is amazing.

Buy it people!

I'm playing it right now, so good. I need some others to play online with!

 

[borsdy]

Did they fix achievements not working for N+ mappacks?

[Randy Lanzarote]

Two arcade titles reduced for two weeks in a row now..... are MS starting to get it?

Spoiler

Ok I will bite at that price!

 

[monkeyhat]

Ok I will bite at that price!

 

[Struct09]

I already own it for GCN, but Ikaruga for $5 = double dipped. Nice deal this week

 

[Chorazin]

I was planning on getting Ikaruga in October when I get my HRAP EX-SE, but looks like I'm gonna be biting early! Great deal!

 

[McBacon]

These deals are great.

 

[Rocky_Balboa]

Xbox.com is awesome. I just bought Ikaruga for 400 points and I'm 7000km away from my console.

 

[AndyMoogle]

I bought both N+ and Ikaruga for 400 points each today Great deals.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

This week's offer:

Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Jedi Temple Mission Pack = 50% off - 400pts

 

[Kuroyume]

Piece of shit

 

[Gowans]

This week's offer:

Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Jedi Temple Mission Pack = 50% off - 400pts

Worst deal of the week in ages! If they insist on doing it on poorly selling DLC they should do more than one.

 

[Label]

Piece of shit

:lol

They surely could have come up with something better than that..

 

[AkuMifune]

:lol

Horrible

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Yeah, was hoping that the recent N+ and Ikaruga had signalled an upturn in the quality of the DotW offers.

I ewouldn't be surprised if during th Summer of Arcade promotion we get no arcade titles on offer, just incase it happens to overshadow the proper release of that week. 6 weeks of DLC incoming!

Spoiler

prove me wrong Microsoft, prove me wrong!

 

[DirtRiver]

My god.

They were in such a good pace and now this shit... There must be some people over at Microsoft that are really embarassed

 

[tim1138]

This weeks deal makes sense if you consider that its all but confirmed that LucasArts is announcing another batch of DLC for TFU at Comic Con this week.

 

[bigGIRLSblouse]

I wish they would stick to the discount arcade games... does wonders for their sales and has to be MUCH more popular than add ons such as the star wars pack.

 

[McBacon]

The guy who does Steam's deal of the week and the guy who does Xbox's deal of the week should totally fight.

Meh, good thing I'm saving my points for MVC2, then.

Stop with the shitty DLC!

 

[soultron]

The guy who does Steam's deal of the week would win because his "deals" are actually deals.

and stuff that people might actually want to buy.

 

[NewBrof]

Icaruga for 400 pts. was a good deal... DLC from regular games should be at least 60% off to call an overpriced product a deal ....

cheerio,

Does the Fortunes Pack stuff work in single player?

You gotta be kidding me. :lol

 

[billy.sea]

Microsoft should really at least do one arcade game and one DLC for sale every week. They have a huge library it's ridiculous they have to use DLC to take up spot for Deal of the Week.

 

[Rhindle]

Yeah, really. I'm sure that there are scores of catalog titles that sell about 10 copies a month at this point, that could only gain from being highlighted.

 

[Mrbob]

Another DLC week. :x

Agreed with above. One DLC and one arcade deal per week should be the minimum.
