Reminder: This Week's Deal of the Week

Reminder: This Week's Deal of the Week
Written Tuesday, June 30, 2009 by Dan Webb

To see out the month of June, and welcome in the month of July, Fable 2's Knothole Island will be this week's Deal of the Week.

The short but relatively cheerful Knothole Island will now cost you only 560 Microsoft Points instead of the usual 800. That's a price reduction of ... yeah, that much percent.

After what has been a pretty solid month of DLC and arcade reductions, we can't wait to see what next month brings.

Remember folks, Deal of the Week is a gold subscription benefit.

M$ sucks the big one, why don't they give a real deal of the week instead of a $2 rebate

I'm waiting for some Lost & Damned deals, otherwise, I'll wait until Rockstar releases both DLC on disc, then buy it used somewhere. Because I'm cheap like that.

I'm happy 'bout this, I've been putting of the Fable DLC as maxing it out the first time round left a bitter aftertaste but this will motivate me to get the DLC's.

@6 - both DLC?? has more GTA4 DLC been announced/confirmed? if so then awesome.

@14 - when GTA4 came out microsoft secured 2 DLC's only for xbox, we've had lost n damned, so theres one more to come... they havnt announced what it is yet as far as i know...

Might get this, already have See The Future.

The thing is though i could spent less on an arcade game which has more obtainable G's (200) and the arcade games are usually longer.

They have announced it was about that gay guy if I recall correctly. I'll find the title now.

@ 14 and 15

The next one is called The Ballad of Gay Tony. They announced it awhile ago.

Saw this yesterday and picked it up. I already bought See The Future for the same price, but was going to skip Knotthole Island because of how short I'd been hearing it is.

Worth the gamble for 560 points though, and will be handy to grab some of those 4 slot weapons for the coliseum.

Update: The title is the ballad of gay tony.

Shit. Ninja'd by FTD Blackout.

I'm glad I didn't wait almost 6 months to save 3 dollars =)

@4: If you're going to cry about the discounts then don't even post. Honestly, $3 is better then saving NOTHING. And this month's DoTW has been a lot better then previous months. So either stop complaining or just don't even both with them.

Maybe if people would stop buying this crap they wouldn't just drop it 2$!

cant they stop putting dlc on the deals they should be doing some real deals like old arcade game for 100 ms each

I just picked up Fable 2 a couple of weeks back. So getting See the Future for 560msp and then Knothole Island on the 29th for 560msp really worked out for me

Glad I waited for this to be cheaper, and to all the people complaining, if your gonna be like that why don't you read a review before buying something next time, instead of bitching about it because you wasted money.

Comment #28 by APassingShadow
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 @ 11:49:22 AM

@ 22 Well I don't bother with it because most of it is DLC for games I beat monthes prior to the deal and don't have anymore. I'm not crying about it either I just don't really consider 30% of a $10 item a deal. Especially when it's a corny add on which was realized to be overpriced (hence the price adjustment for see the future). Also the worst feature of this add-on is the fact you see the whole thing for free by joining a friend who already has it you just can't get the achievements till you fork your $ over for them.

still not worth the $7 they are charging ****hole island was that awful.

Knothole Island was soooooooooooooo over rated!

Comment #31 by MachineHero
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 @ 12:50:09 PM

yeah they need to add stuff that I haven't bought already, next thing you know they'll add the Fallout 3 DLC's for 400 when I bought all 4

Knothole wasn't good IMO, in fact it is the reason I didn't buy the latest Fable II DLC.

Comment #33 by SoloEXE

Last week's SSF2THR deal was much more appealing than this.

Comment #34 by MediumMelanin

meh, how about Mass Effect's DLC? come on!

or Gears of War 2 maps?!

dont know about anyone else and i'll be damned if i'm reading everyone else's posts that are mostly commenting on some b.s...

but, i got the deal of the week, and said screw, might as well get the other dlc for fable2, both were 560. is the deal of the week something thats supposed to be permanent? i didnt think it was, so why were both pieces cheaper than normal?

Comment #38 by NOLDaemon
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 @ 09:28:04 PM

Does anyone know if they're going to release a version of Fable 2 with all DLC included? If so, there's no point in getting this Deal.

just dl'd, but serioulsy why not do deal of the week on something in the top 3 downloaded, H3 mythic, WaW map pack 2 and fallout point lookout. they would download like crazy

Poll

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!
