This Week's "Deal of the Week"

This Week's "Deal of the Week"
Written Monday, March 09, 2009 by James Parkin

According to Major Nelson, this week's Deal of the Week will be Project Gotham 4's Premium Challenge Pack.

The PGR4 Premium Challenge Pack, normally priced at 400 points, is now available for Xbox LIVE Gold Members for 240 points, a savings of 40%. 

The Premium Challenge Pack gives you seven new cars; the 2008 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept, 2007 Volkswagen Golf GTI W12-650, 2007 Peugeot Flux, 1987 BMW M3 E30 DTM, 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, 2008 Honda S2000 CR, and 2008 Callaway C16 Speedster. You get three new bikes; the 2007 Yamaha YZF-R1, 1995 Aprilia RS 250, and 1998 Aprilia RSV 1000 Tuono R. Plus, new World Challenge Arcade Mode gives you 20 arcade events in 3 themed chapters, including 5 events that can only be done on platinum. In Tourist Mode, get a free ride with friends around any game city. In Free Roam Cat and Mouse, a slow mouse vehicle runs from enemy cats. Ten new achievements fill out the pack.

[Thanks Major Nelson]

wow not a bad price at all. Just for the sake of the 10 extra achievements I might borrow this from my friend
(I had it before but did everything on it)

Sigh... Maybe it's my fault for not having a ton of games, but so far, the Deal of the Week has yet to benefit me at all. I already had Braid, and the others have been for games that I don't have. Here's crossing my fingers for Crackdown, Overlord, or Mass Effect DLC...

Think it'll happen?

I just picked up the messenger pack from Best Buy - Head set, text pad, PGR4, 2 Watchmen tickets and 1 year of Xboxlive for $50. I am glad the premium pack is on sale. I don't think this is a coincidence.

PGR4 was so good, i already squeezed 1250 out of it but this is still a very generous deal. I wish we could get some solid info on wether PGR5 will ever be made.

PGR4 is a very very good racer, I already have the pack though

Nice, too bad I don't have the game, though... :/

Great deal on an old game shouldn't be considered a good deal. Would have been nice to have on a game people are playing.

@7 ya i picked that up last week except my pack had 1600 ms points instead of watchmen tickets

I saw this game in the bargain racks of Walmart for 10 bucks if anyone's interested.

Dammit I bought this pack like a month ago.. Oh well either way 400 points isn't bad too.

#7, that's what I plan on getting as well. Mt current year of LIVE is almost up, and I wanted to regrab PGR4 to finish my achieves (had to sell it right after it released because I sold off my 360 for a while to concentrate on school) and I'm ready to get back into this game.

Nice job Microsoft.. Good deal!

@5 I bought the mass effect DLC last year when it was 300pts for a while.
I get the feeling they won't reduce it again and even if they did it would only be by 100pts so you should probably just buy it for 400pts if you really want it.

I've got this game but my 360 just red ringed and I lost all my 175 game saves! Damn!

Comment #25 by ISA VM
Monday, March 09, 2009 @ 02:44:04 PM

What? A 50% discount would of been too much? They couldn't knock it down to 200 pts.?

Comment #26 by FatalFlaw810
Monday, March 09, 2009 @ 02:59:12 PM

I already got this, but to anyone who doesn't have it its totally worth it. I agree with #25, why couldn't they just make it 200 points. Oh well lol.

Aggghhh!!! i just bought that pack last week! i know its only a couple dollars cheaper but with all this dlc for games i cant afford to spend anymore!!

Hmm, more reason for me to pick this up.

Comment #29 by itsbulmer

I picked up the messenger bundle a few weeks ago. No watchmen tickets or 1600 msp

i thought 400 was cheap, a win for anyone who hasnt got it

was just thinking of playing pgr4, now i defo am!

Looks like a good deal, too bad I don't have the game nor am looking forward to playing it.

Would've bought last weeks Ninja Gaiden 2 pack, but it was 40 more points than I had. They should just cut them in half instead of this 40% bullshit.

Comment #34 by kidtricky3
Monday, March 09, 2009 @ 03:52:18 PM

best deal so far has been Braid

Comment #35 by Hells Zargon
Monday, March 09, 2009 @ 04:24:19 PM

Not bad, got the game a while back. Guess I'll get this while it's cheap.

Comment #36 by Opayk
Monday, March 09, 2009 @ 04:51:02 PM

I feel your pain#5, fingers crossed for something I have!

They really should cut them straight, the odd numbers are just a stupid way of jipping you out of more points.

Comment #37 by [Waggly Bean]
Monday, March 09, 2009 @ 05:23:46 PM

Again, they should put things that you don't need anything else to use into deal of the week. ie not a piece of DLC.

They'd please a lot more people by just putting an XBLA game on deal each week. Braid has been the only 'deal' that hasn't required you to already have a game to benefit from it. Rubbish....

I'm not a fan of this discounted DLC stuff, alot of people have sold this game by now. gimme discounts on XBLA games!

yet again a deal of the week thats really really old...give us something newer please!!!

Comment #48 by NOLDaemon
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 @ 02:01:39 AM

I'd rather have discounts on games. And they need to have every deal of the week 50% off. Would you still consider it a deal if you only got 25% off?

Comment #49 by y.casper
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 @ 03:27:48 AM

I Had this and i just completed a few achievments then i sold it :D

I didnt have live at the time =(

"And they need to have every deal of the week 50% off. Would you still consider it a deal if you only got 25% off?"

Um.... yes? If a game I really wanted got 25% off for a week (let's say Castle Crashers), I would snap that up because it WOULD be a deal...

They only do the "DEAL" on games that r old n not many play on anymore,,the whole deal things a RIP


Comment #53 by KIDDRAGON67
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 @ 05:57:41 AM

deal of the week should be applied to over 80% of live users, e.g i'd say over 90% have halo 3 and have a deal of half price legendary dlc, i don't think majority of XBL users have PGR4.

why not have deal of the week were you buy an arcade e.g band of bugs and get the dlc for free

Comment #54 by Nekro Neko
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 @ 06:13:22 AM

You really believe Halo 3 has a 90% catchment on 360 owners o_O.

Also, what's with all the hate, at least they are doing a promotion consistently. You just need to keep your hopes up that the next item is what you want or considered before.

As for me, I'm glad about the DLC this time. The game is pretty good, not "ancient" or "really really old" as some have said. Why is a game old after a couple of weeks? Anyway, means I can pick up another copy of this game now as my other one was stolen.

Happy gaming and stay super super happy joy joy ^_^

This a great deal for me and a good enough reason to bring the game back off the shelf for me...

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
