This Week and Next Week on Xbox Live

Richard Walker

Headlining this week's Xbox Live Arcade offerings is Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Decade Duels Plus, which will be launching this week, while next week will see the arrival of both 2D scide-scrolling shooter, Serious Sam Double D XXL and the Capcom Arcade Cabinet with its library of retro games.

As far as add-ons go meanwhile, you can look forward to getting your hands on the first episode of Assassin's Creed III's Tyranny of King Washington DLC with 'The Infamy'. You can buy it on its own or grab it with the Season Pass from next week.

There's also a bunch of deals on zombie-related content this week, including Zombie Driver HD and Zombie Apocalypse for half price, alongside a few select add-ons and Black Ops Avatar items. The following week, you'll be able to grab all of Oblivion and Skyrim's main DLCs at half the price, and today also see the beginning of an NBA 2K13 sale.

Check it all out, right here.

  • Damnit! That Skyrim discount looks good, wish I had waited!
  • Dragonborn for me.
  • I wonder if I should go ahead and pick up the DLC for Skyrim. I haven't played it yet but it is on future playlist.
  • Bethesda Sale! Yugioh is also pretty nice. We need a new Yugioh game for the Xbox, not a revamped one. But it's better than nothing!
  • Dragonborn is a must at that price. Also didn't even know a new yu-gi-oh game was out!
  • More Rehash Rubbish on the regular deals. These Games & add-ons have been on sale AT LEAST 5 times already. If you have to put it on sale that many times, I think you should just drop the price permanently.
  • Zombie deals of the week! Hell yea!
  • another fortnight of nothing for me.... oh well, in a way i'm glad my gold runs out sometime soon, then i have no need to check this thread, unless i spend my 900 MSP before then, in which case i'll stop early had enough of crap deals, assholes online & adverts everywhere, might eventually return to the xbox, but i've played better games since i started this break...that is until colonial marines came out...my god is it shit
  • What the? Zombie driver doesn't appear as a discount in France it seems?
  • Dragonborn for me!! :D
  • Skyrim DLC for me :)
  • I WISH I COULD BUY SKYRIM ALL OVER AGAIN.
  • I bought Dragonborn at full price and haven't played it yet, kinda wish I'd saved myself those 800 points and got it this week instead.
  • BTW guys, for those SEGA Model 2 Fans who played the M2 Fighters (Sonic Fighters, Virtua Fighter 2, and Fighting Vipers), Virtua Striker and the 1st Virtual-On will only be available to Asia Region specific Marketplaces for XBLA 2/13. Dunno if they will be 400MSP like the last time. Kinda dull we're not getting a worldwide release of both of them, guess its time to get points from there and buy them. >_>
  • i waited for this sale to pick up dragonborn i love skyrim but im not..NOT paying that much for 1 dlc
  • @12 why don't you then?
  • For those who don't know Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duels Plus is a free update if you own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duel.
  • #17 What do the update to Yu-Gi-Oh do?
  • Jane’s Advanced Strike Fighters!!! Been waiting for this on demand!!!
  • Are there achievements for the Assassin Creed3 dlc?
  • not again ... i paid 1600 mp 2 weeks ago for dragonborn and this is not the first time i spend the full prize - i paid 2000 mp for dawnguard and heartfire at christmas and only 2 days later the sell it for the half prize why me =/
  • @#17 The update consists of many new features. The most notable ones are listed below. - Voice and Text chat compatibility - Over 2,000 playable cards, including cards featured in Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic, GX and 5D's Decks - Game play customization with user-created rules
  • Whay dragonborn! Be picking that up and nothing more
  • Comment above was aimed at #18 not myself... Oh dear.
  • @21 Well, it´s kind of your problem, it was told at beginning to mid-december that there are going to be sales, including TES franchise. Also, it´s kinda weird that there is Bethesda sale after so short time, maybe business not going well? Whatever, I missed the deal at end of previous year because I was playing Walking Dead which was on sale, so I might buy all the Skyrim DLC´s now, but not sure about Dawnguard, It´s not that interesting as Dragonborn.
  • I need both DragonBorn and Dawngaurd already have hearthfire.
  • Dragonborn for me. I've been waiting for it to go on sale before picking it up. Just a bit of friendly advice for those of you complaining that you just bought the DLC (or any for that matter) at full price, just have a little patience and you'll catch it on sale. You don't need to pay full price NOW because it will eventually go on sale, usually sooner than later.
  • #25 don't be so harsh, he's just a harmless simpleton who wouldn't hurt a fly.
  • @25 : Or maybe it's selling well when it's discounted. It's better to sell 100000 dlcs at 800 MSP than 20000 dlcs at 1600 MSP for example. Personally, I'll take Skyrim DLCs. I got the game a few weeks ago (and so missed the christmas discount) and didn't go the time to play it yet but I'll take them to not have to wait another sale.
  • I can finally get the last Skyrim DLC at for cheap at last patience perseveres again for those who wait like me :D Total cost of Skyrim DLC for me comes to about 1700 MS Points so i'm a happy camper (No Pun Intended)
  • FINALLY the Call of Duty: Black Ops – Zombies Pic Pack is on sale... I've been waiting forever... cough
  • @8: No offense but there's assholes online everywhere unless you plan to sticking to single player games no matter where you go to play online you will encounter someone. As for advertising, it is everywhere dude..not sure what world you seem to live in lol. And crappy deals, well that is in the eye of the beholder. While the deals haven't been spectacular as of late they here and there.
  • The Skyrim DLC sale is no doubt to coincide with the sale on Playstation (which is half price for the first week as the DLC is finally on PS3), so not exactly a surprise that this was coming... And in other obvious predictions, Omega for Mass Effect 3 will probably be on sale some time before the end of April.
  • More Bethesda sales? Happening a lot recently. Not that's it's a bad thing for those that want them. But a bit of variation wouldn't go amiss.
  • Continued from Post #14. Scratch that, both V-O and V-S will both be 800MSP. >_>
  • Is Hearthfire really even worth it? Been thinking about getting it but idk.
  • Ahhh yeah! I so nearly bought Dragonborn and Hearthfire the other day but thought "this will be on dotw soon, i can sense it" BOOM!
  • @20 Yes, the ACIII DLC will have achievements. The site has them posted...http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/assassins-creed-3/achievements/ (all the way at the bottom of the list.)
  • @20, Yes there are. They posted them a week or so ago. Bottom of this page: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/assassins-creed-3/achievements/ 4 achievements for 90 points.
  • Dragonborn next week! Sweet!
  • With all the zombie related discounts is MS getting everyone in the mood for a State of Decay release in the near future? I'm itching to get my hands on that game
  • Whatever you do, DONT buy that Yu-gi-oh game. It's complete rubbish.
  • Pretty sure I bought some Skyrim DLC over the holidays that I haven't played yet... need to go check before I look at this sale.
  • Oh cool, got Dawnguard and Hearthfire but not Dragonborn. Yay 1/2 off. Wonder how long it will take me to do all 3 on 1 character...
  • YU-GI-OH!
  • Oh, just noticed Retro City Rampage has been changed to 1200 points so it was really an error when it got released for 800 points.
  • @8, Ahem... you have spent money on the Xbox and the Xbox is happy with your contribution to its future products. Now if you want to leave you may, You have given Microsoft money so go ahead... Prick.
  • @46, it was on sale for the first few weeks. Super Meat Boy did the same thing.
  • yeah dragonborn I knew its go on sale eventually (I bought the 1st 2 at full price and have only played it for 5-10 minutes so I essentially wasted money)I should have waited. Really got to get back to playing skyrim again its been awhile. Dragonborn has never been on sale all the other dlc has though. Is the only thing in the list I am picking up
  • @3 - If you don't already own the game I'd hold out for the GOTY edition that will inevitably come out at some point. It's been a long wait, but that's what I'm doing. Skyrim is going to be my summer dry spell game this year.
  • I will definately be grabbin the 2k13 dlc for half off, been waiting on it forever now
  • I'll be picking up Dragonborn for sure. I think they have the DLC on sale because of the PS3 gettng all three pieces of DLC and that they will have them discounted for a week if I remember correctly.
  • KATY PERRY!!!! F**k YEAH!!!
  • Spelunky, Limbo, and N+ are also on sale for the Scratch and Match.
  • @ #21 - You Sir, deserve an arrow to the knee !
  • really wish they would port duelist of the roses. that would be a perfect xbla online game.
  • I'll take Dragonborn! That's all.
  • Shit yes, it's tax season, and I am spoiling myself with all that Skyrim DLC.
  • Dragonborn, hell yeah!
  • Does anyone know how the Capcom cabinet works? I see its 400 MSP, but I thought the cabinet was free, and you paid for the games...!
  • guess it's finally time to revisit skyrim
  • I can finally get Dragonborn and get back into Skyrim. I played a half hour of Dawnguard before I realized I was bored of Skyrim so I've been putting it off until I had more fresh content to come back to.
  • The Scratch & Match deals are pretty good. Limbo and Spelunky are 480 points. Of course, there was another. Forgot what it was though.
  • way to go #8. speak your mind and never mind the sheepish fanboys. most of them dont even buy their games with money they earn anyways. if you are like me then wait to get all the skyrim content with the game when the goty edition comes out. you can get all of it then for like 40 dollars. peace im out.
  • it was n+ #65. im picking up spelunky for 6 dollars. its a great deal. it looks alot like the paper mario games to me.
  • Zombie Driver is great. The rest of those zombie items on discount are borderline garbage.
  • @67, N+ for 320 points, right. Spelunky is cute and a lot of fun. It's also damn hard. Like eye-crossing, controller smashing hard. And fun.
  • Woo! Dragonborn! Better free up some HD space and take a break from Borderlands 2.
  • all that Zombie stuff and no L4D DLC?
  • All wank.
  • I guess it's time to go back to Skyrim...it's been so long i forgot where i stashed all my cool items and armour, once i find them and re teach myself how best to take down a Dragon i'll jump into the discounted DLC, cheers Bethesda. Good things come to those who wait.
  • what's gona be different about the yugioh game?
  • FUCK YEAH!!!! DRAGONBOOOOOOORRRRNNN! My jewery paid off!
  • I just bought dragonborn last week :[
  • Virtua Striker (41.98 Mb) and Virtual-On (119.34 Mb) are now available on the japanese marketplace and each of them cost 800 points.
  • does Yu-Gi-Oh Decade Duels + have new achievements?
  • #78. Nope, its the same game with the same achievements, its just an update of the game (more or less).
  • shame about yu gi oh being the same. well maybe the online will pick up a bit more now
  • Dragonborn and Hearthfire for me, so the missus can complete her Skyrim obsession.... tho i doubt you'll find me personally playing such an overrated bag of shite until i've got no other games to play ;~p
  • @81 "overrated"? You sir have either never actually played Skyrim and/or you are not a fan of action rpg's. Skyrim is one of the best of that genre and quite frankly one of the best games of this console generation.
  • I am still not seeing the Skyrim sale yet. Still showing 1600pts each in US marketplace.
  • I hate to be the one to point this out, but if you follow the link to Major Nelson's blog... The Skyrim DLC has been pulled from the upcoming list.
  • @6 u dont know what ur talking about, dragonborn or to my knowledge dawnguard havnt been this cheap (sale)
  • @83 : Skyrim sales is next week, it's written 19 Feb to 25 Feb (and we are only 14 Feb).
  • That's maybe why it got removed for this week post, it was a bit confusing to put them in this week post (First, I also thought it was this week).
  • I'd pay 400 for capcom arcade cabinet if you get the full list of games, but if their 400 each then they can kiss my lily white ass!
  • WTF!?! Only Skyrim's GOD version and Oblivion's DLCs are on sale.
  • Who was your guys' source for the Skyrim sale??? As none of the DLC is on sale...
  • was looking forword to half price skyrim dlc
  • there isn't no sale on Skyrim DLC as far as i can see :( i was holding off buying dragonbourne until it came down in price
  • Kind of gutted the Dragonborn DLC isn't on offer like it was supposed to be. Tempted to buy Skyrim for £15 though just so its on my hard drive, my sister can have my proper copy then anyway cause I had it as a present so I haven't paid anything for it.
  • This sucks!! Was holding off getting Dragonborn DLC until it came on offer and after tempting me for a week it is still not on offer!!!!! Who are your sources???
  • crap was looking forward to half off dragonborn
