Xbox Live Deal of the Weeks Announced for June Written Tuesday, June 09, 2009 by Dan Webb It looks like that Microsoft have heard your pleas and complaints regarding their pretty awful Deal of the Week selections and this month, it's a pretty damn good selection.
June 22-28: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, XBLA, 800 Microsoft Points June 29- July 5: Fable 2, Knothole Island, 560 Microsoft Points Pretty solid discounted downloadable content there if you ask us. Is everyone happy now? [Details via latest issue of OXM] | |

Xbox Live Deal of the Weeks Announced for June
User Comments
 | Comment #1 by KIDDRAGON67 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:17:58 AM finally a decent list, might get knothole island. |
 | Comment #2 by KingSigy Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:19:05 AM First 3 weeks are pretty good. It's too bad Gears has that announced $20 pack of every DLC, otherwise the Map Pack for $7.50 would be pretty good. |
 | Comment #3 by Doric Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:20:02 AM damn, i bought operation anchorage on friday ;( |
 | Comment #4 by jay1569 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:20:19 AM too bad i have everything on the list |
 | Comment #5 by VAPF Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:23:27 AM This sort of thing half makes me not want to buy DLC for my games anymore just so I dont pay full price for something that may appear on the Deal of the Week |
 | Comment #6 by Killer66250 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:24:16 AM Damn have them all. :( |
 | Comment #7 by SebbeG Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:25:47 AM have two of them. don't want the other two. sucks that those of us who buys the stuff directly doesn't get any bonuses... |
 | Comment #8 by BootlegVenom Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:26:31 AM just downloaded knothole yesterday... this sucks |
 | Comment #9 by ApochWeiss Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:30:03 AM I hate Gears of War, I don't own Fable 2 (well, I did, but I traded it as I had it for months and didn't even start it), and I don't want Fallout 3 either. Figures haha |
| Comment #10 by ApochWeiss Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:31:04 AM Oh, forgot to mention I have SSFIIHD, paid full price (sorry, double post) |
 | Comment #11 by Amblix Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:31:30 AM Got Combustible and Anchorage at regular price. Gonna pick up Knothole I guess. |
 | Comment #12 by skel3t0n Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:33:37 AM Not bad, all DLC though. |
 | Comment #13 by MG6490 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:50:17 AM The prices arent good enough tho, you still have to buy 1000 points if you want the fable/ gow2 content if u have no points already,so MS are still getting ur money lol might get the SF tho, thats not bad. |
 | Comment #14 by Mr Foxhound Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:52:56 AM I already own three of those, and don't care much for Street Fighter ;( |
 | Comment #15 by noddegamra Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:08:26 AM I suggested this idea to Major Nelson a little while ago as well as other people must have. He said he would forward the feedback/ideas on and it seems to have worked. Nice to see :-) |
 | Comment #16 by Shipley0110 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:14:17 AM Bought time we had some decent discount DLC that is still relevant and not for shit that came out 3-4 years ago like Battlestations. Might get SSF2THDR (what sort of abbreviation is that? Looks like scrabble!!) |
 | Comment #17 by Tarvu Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:16:55 AM The best price cut ever was almost all Oblivion DLC half price, and that wasn't a deal of the week. Old DLC should drop in price, the fact that CoD2&3 map packs are still the same price as they were when released makes no sense, you could buy the games themselves for those prices. |
 | Comment #18 by Green Day Rock Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:33:33 AM 560 points that means i have to pay for 1000 still even if im paying 560 rather than 800 microsoft are still making us pay for more points than we need |
 | Comment #19 by Dox Almighty Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:34:22 AM ditto #4 for me except for Anchorage and I have zero desire to go back to Fallout At least they're listening tho |
 | Comment #20 by brodieman36 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:34:54 AM Although I can imagine that it sucks to buy something then a week later see it go on sale, you can't really complain about bad luck. That's how everything in life is. You can wait for the dvd release to go down to ten bucks at your video place, or you can spend twenty bucks on it when it comes out. I'm a naturally cheap person, so I'm use to waiting on things, like GTA: L&D. Still waiting. Which is fine, I can wait another year. You just have to accept the fact when you buy something opening day, that it will eventually have a price drop, or you can wait it out like me. The list for June is pretty nice. I own one, don't enjoy fighting games, and don't own Fallout 3 or Gears 2. But if I did, I would purchase one or both of these. |
 | Comment #21 by Slave of Audio Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:41:13 AM wait, is the combustible map pack in dark corners when it come out |
 | Comment #22 by darkenednight Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:47:49 AM "June 15-21: Fallout 3, Operation Anchorage, 560 Microsoft Points" I knew this was coming eventually. I will be buying this. |
 | Comment #23 by itZ SpaCeD Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:51:33 AM i think i get gears of war map pack is it the first one? |
 | Comment #24 by iNf3Rn0 Lan Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:56:22 AM Looks nice. If they were offering Broken Steel at a discount then Knothole Island would be the only thing I'm not really planning on purchasing. Then again, I don't really play Gears 2, but... |
 | Comment #25 by Lukeweizer Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:05:32 AM No, I'm not happy. I already own all 3 of those. |
 | Comment #26 by Craigimuss Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:22:03 AM Pitty that the Fallout DLC wasn't The Pit instead becuase fewer people would have it considering how long operation anchorage has been out. |
 | Comment #27 by Tim 13 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:30:29 AM I really do feel for all the people who paid full price for DLC, only to see it become a deal of the week soon after. It's happened to me (I don't remember on what), and it sucked. I think Microsoft should do something for the people who bought it before the deal of the week; people who buy it after it ends, they don't matter. lol |
 | Comment #28 by maliguen Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:32:31 AM Great discounts, hope they did the same other Fallout 3 DLC |
 | Comment #29 by GrindingFarmer Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:32:39 AM Fable 2, Knothole Island, 560 Microsoft Points SWEET, happy they heard my suggestion! haha, yeah right. Still awesome, though. |
 | Comment #30 by Infomouse Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:33:14 AM Street Fighter and Knothole Island hurray |
 | Comment #31 by IWi11KickU Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 07:18:32 AM I guess MS just can't win. On the one hand, this is all premium content. DLC expansions for three of the best selling games this year, and a really good, full XBLA game. On the other hand, because this is premium content, most people who have Gears, Fallout, or Fable, already have these expansions. For people who don't have them, there's already better deals announced for Gears and Fallout (the All Fronts disk, and Fallout GotY ed.). So while I'm happy to see a definate improvement in their DotW selections, it still is not going to help a ton of people. |
 | Comment #32 by nicksan Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 07:22:10 AM i own all of them :( |
 | Comment #33 by Veteran Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 07:22:16 AM Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, GIVE! |
 | Comment #34 by MachineHero Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:01:57 PM only thing I'm missing is Gears 2 stuff and I hate that game plus it's kind of redundant if people are getting All Fronts....imagine the pissed off people going "but I bought combustible already, wtf?!" |
 | Comment #35 by SuperWoody64 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:03:11 PM For the prople that paid full price for the DotWs, welcome to the industry. I paid 400 for my xbox 360 but it was worth the extra hundred to have been playing for the past 3 years. I agree that old dlc should drop in price permanently. Or if an online mode in a game never has any players it's online map packs should drop too. Stranglehold is still at 15 bucks. |
 | Comment #36 by sskingginyu Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:05:01 PM Definately gonna buy street fighter 2 HD. I've been wanting it for a long time now, and now that it is cheaper, I'm gonna have to buy it. |
 | Comment #37 by BootlegWarrior6 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:06:54 PM i have a reason to get anchorage now.. |
 | Comment #38 by neb86 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:08:09 PM this is the best yet, already have this weeks deal but none of rest, i m so excited! |
 | Comment #39 by EnkiduV3 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:11:09 PM Why are most of you whining about buying these already? No, Microsoft shouldn't do anything for you people (like me) that bought almost all of these already. The point of these deals is to get the people who didn't feel like buying these at launch price might consider getting them now. If you don't like it then don't buy anything until it becomes deal of the week. I'll continue buying add-ons and map packs and whatnot when they release so I can have fun playing them sooner than you complaining children. |
 | Comment #40 by iruhlman Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:23:33 PM cool, now i will buy Fable 2 DLC |
 | Comment #41 by Dibs No Joust Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:24:30 PM I'm waiting to buy all the map packs for Gears of War 2 when they come out shortly. No sense in paying for it twice! Already own the other two DLC packs, though I wish I would've held out on the Fallout 3, I still haven't played it! Too many good games, too little time. The SFII were fun when they had to be in two dimensions, but fighting games have come too far for me to retain my interest. That being said, still a huge improvement from previous lists, I hope they keep this up! |
 | Comment #42 by MEMANIAsama Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:29:28 PM Anybody know if this Gold Deal would apply to the PC as well? Maybe I'll finally grab Op. Anch. |
 | Comment #43 by Atomic Peenut Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:32:49 PM lol i already have all of these how very annoying |
 | Comment #44 by Noonie123 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:53:36 PM I'm well annoyed by the Gears 2 one, I bought that map pack about 2 days ago and now it's even cheaper! Bummer! |
 | Comment #45 by ii br00tal ii Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 12:57:45 PM Yeah, good thing I still haven't bought any Fallout 3 DLC. I'll definitely be picking up the Operation Anchorage one, even though I don't have Fallout 3 anymore. I rented it, but I'm going to buy it this month. |
 | Comment #46 by himalaybarad Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:04:18 PM I'm defenetely buying the gears pack..WOOO!! |
 | Comment #47 by pavementpoop Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:05:34 PM defo prob getting street fighter woop!!1 |
 | Comment #48 by Olliezilla Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:08:00 PM Yes, still need operation anchorage and knothole island! |
 | Comment #49 by Raiden808 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:11:51 PM I'll be buying the Operation Anchorage. |
 | Comment #50 by musdy Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:12:32 PM No on everything. |
 | Comment #51 by Wehttam Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:14:31 PM This is a HUGE improvement on the discounts they were offering before, i shall be picking up fable 2's knothole island. Thanks Webb for posting ;) |
 | Comment #52 by Sergeant Saix Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:15:01 PM Would of gotten the 'Knothole Island DLC' if it was 400 points, but at 560 the same price of the 'See the Future DLC' when the ladder is clearly the better of them Ill pass. |
 | Comment #53 by OblivionsRow Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:42:09 PM I know they would put ancorage down, just knew it! would of saved a fair few points :/ |
 | Comment #54 by Z. slay3r Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 01:54:11 PM Nice, but I'd rather have Halo Wars DLC for reduced price. Severely reduced. |
 | Comment #55 by PimpinIsntEasy Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 02:01:31 PM i already have most of these but still nice! they should do the new fallout dlc on sale point look out thats the one |
 | Comment #56 by dreamweaver1984 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 02:18:47 PM Pretty solid discounted downloadable content there if you ask us. Is everyone happy now? :insert rolling smiley face here: another pathetic attempted to make it seem like MS is giving us some sorta discount. |
 | Comment #57 by FatalFlaw810 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 02:26:02 PM Very nice discounted items if you don't have them already. I might pick up SF II Turbo if i can get the points for it. |
 | Comment #58 by Thrall320 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 02:35:30 PM Don't get the Gears 2 download, wait until the new retail disc comes out, but it with friends. I'll be getting EVERY map for Gears of War 2 for like, $2. |
 | Comment #59 by Fakan Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 02:50:55 PM Hell yes, I was just recently considering buying Op: Anchorage, too. Stealth suit, here I come. =D |
 | Comment #60 by zyxomma100 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 03:19:31 PM Nothing to really complain about with the DotW I guess. Personally, I still think that's too much for a Street Fighter remake, and I don't care for the rest of the games (here it comes). And the GoW maps are going to be cheaper than that soon anyway. But overall it's better than MS has done on some other weeks. |
 | Comment #61 by march 2 hell Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 03:21:38 PM isnt the fable 2 one already that price anyway |
 | Comment #62 by UnerringBiscuit Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 03:22:47 PM will def pick up opp anchorage |
 | Comment #63 by Zmoke Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 03:23:35 PM A pretty good list, I'll probably buy SSFIITHDR. |
 | Comment #64 by RenegadeSniper7 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 03:29:15 PM Have it Don't have the game Don't want it Don't have the game :/ |
 | Comment #65 by Deathsoul92 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 03:31:24 PM Fallout 3: traded for CoD 5 Fable 2: sold it a month ago Street Fighter: dont play arcades Gears 2: Waiting for All Fronts Collection |
 | Comment #66 by Zork Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:23:41 PM not bad shame i have the ones i want |
 | Comment #67 by KingPastry Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 04:24:39 PM that's quite the list.. i just wish that i hadn't bought everything already |
 | Comment #68 by MTW NL Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:13:48 PM can't they make it free? D,= lol, =P i won't be buying them cause i don't play those games anymore =) |
 | Comment #69 by CLET8 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:29:29 PM still not happy, considering I already have all of these things. |
 | Comment #70 by Lord Aldemar Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:36:53 PM Ah crap. Bought Knothole the other week. :| |
 | Comment #71 by towns Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:53:43 PM might get knothole : |
 | Comment #72 by ReD S1X Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 05:59:49 PM finally, Operation Anchorage is reduced, only The Pitt, Broken Steel and Point Lookout left to go after spending 30USD on Fallout 3 DLC Disc for nothing (region protection problem, no format for NTSC/J). |
 | Comment #73 by ShinAkuma Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:01:31 PM Could be better... |
 | Comment #74 by Sephiroth X21 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:08:52 PM Knothole Island is a handy 200 points but it is very short and not worth the money imo when there is so many other games and dlc to buy. |
 | Comment #75 by Dr Popodopolus Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:18:05 PM Haha awesome. I have been holding out on buying Operation Anchorage, I almost bought it last Friday i think it was with Broken Steel but just opted for Broken Steel to boost my level cap. Will definately get this now. As for the Gears 2 maps, i'd rather just wait for All Fronts and get all the DLC for 1600 :) I am so glad i haven't been buying most of the DLC for the games i play on Day 1. Traded in Fable 2 for Gears 2 after getting the 1000 in 4 days. The whole game was a huge disappointment for me considering it's an RPG (only took a few days to complete), i was sucked into the massive hype on that one :( |
 | Comment #76 by WheezySparkz Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 06:18:09 PM I most likely will get Operation Anchorage even though i wish it went down to 400 and I would get the Combustible map pack if there wasn't the Dark Corners DLC coming out. |
 | Comment #77 by Grijpwijk Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 09:03:17 PM SSF2T HD Remix will be mine now :) Loving these deals on Arcade games, also got Braid and BC:Rearmed this way. |
 | Comment #78 by ssssssssssssss1 Tuesday, June 09, 2009 @ 09:26:11 PM shit ass too bad i own all haha |
 | Comment #79 by HIFOSTAR Thursday, June 11, 2009 @ 01:04:54 PM Sweet. Just bought Fable II and now this? Sha-wing! |
 | Comment #80 by fisher81 Monday, June 15, 2009 @ 07:58:18 PM not available yet for me . . . anyone? |
| Comment #81 by fisher81 Monday, June 15, 2009 @ 08:04:20 PM I meant that Anchorage is still 800 pts btw |
| Comment #82 by fisher81 Monday, June 15, 2009 @ 11:12:37 PM June 16th . . . still no Anchorage discount |
 | Comment #83 by DiegoTan Tuesday, June 30, 2009 @ 06:34:22 AM Sh!t, my friend borrowed Fable 2 from me and never gave it back ;P (now he lives in other city)... Bad for me i guess. |
