This Week on Xbox Live [XBLA & DotW]

This Week on Xbox Live [XBLA & DotW]
Written Monday, November 23, 2009 by Dan Webb

Usually I sit here on a Monday afternoon and report the release of 2 or 3 Wednesday arcade games and one Deal of the Week. This week however, the tables have turned ever so slightly and I can happily report on the release of 1 Xbox Live Arcade game and 3, yes I said 3, Deals of the Week.

Hitting the Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday is the lonely Madden NFL Arcade which will hit the service for 1,200 Microsoft points.

As far as Deals of the Week go, you can pick up Fable 2's See The Future for 400 Microsoft points (normally 560), Peggle for 400 points (normally 800) and Death Tank for 800 (normally 1,200).

Not a bad week then... Peggle? 400 points? It's a steal!

Might have to pick up Peggle as I hear it's good (understatement) although it will kill my completion but more and more I'm losing interest in completion %.

Fable from 560 to 400 wow lol:P Completed Fable 2 anyway long ago. I hope they continue though with more deals a week.

Peggle seems good value for 400MSP, time to finally see what all the fuss is about!

Death Tank looks like it might be fun as well, although 1200MSP seemed like too much in the first place.

How was deathtank ever 1200.

Heh, so... I'm guessing just selling back my copy of Fable 2 and getting the GotY edition would be a better deal than this 120 MSP drop? Especially with Black Friday only days away... GameStop Shoppin, here I come!

Hmm quite tempted for Peggle, and might pick up Fable 2 if I have leftover points :)

Don't forget Sonic The Hedgehog 2 for 240 msp in a couple of days. Thank you Americans and your Thanksgiving, or whatever it is, you celebrate :-)

Sweet, was just going to buy secondhand Fable 2 for €17, this seals the deal.

peggle sounds lame

Comment #16 by Soriya
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 12:49:32 PM

Might have to pick Peggle up at that price, it can be pretty addictive fun. Nice to see three deals at a time.

Comment #17 by BadBoyKillah89
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 01:02:46 PM

I'll definitely pick up the Fable II DLC. Picked up the other one when it was on deal of the week.

They forgot the Borderlands DLC that drops tomorrow.

Not sure about the Fable DLC... might just get the GOTY version.

@18

I was thinking the same thing, although I haven't heard any news about it recently (such as achievement updates). Maybe it's pushed back? I hope not.

Very nice, 3 DoTW, let's hope this becomes the norm. I'm still waiting for Mirror's Edge DLC :P! Might pick up Peggle.

Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 02:34:51 PM

A fucking sports game? give me a break. Keep that trash out gaming I say. Sports are for suckers, games are for winners.

Comment #25 by The Bum-Mobile
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 02:35:01 PM

DAMMIT. I JUST bought Peggle Sunday. I got it so I could eventually get the Nights DLC but the remaining 800 on my account are for Borderlands DLC. Wish they announced this stuff before hand.

Comment #26 by Skid Row Trash
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 02:35:15 PM

I want Doom 2

@24 Yeah, you sound like such a winner in life.

Comment #28 by dd316
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 02:46:15 PM

Sounds like a lot of folks like Peggle, I'll have to try it out.

Comment #29 by N3m36
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 02:50:33 PM

Peggle for 400 is a steal, just don't start playing it if you don't have much time :P

Comment #30 by heatedGAZZMAN
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 02:53:45 PM

Death tank could be an option for me but I'm waiting for Serious sam HD in december, Doom 2 and quake arena live.....

Comment #31 by silentbob0
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:01:12 PM

@24 Thats probably the most stupid thing I've ever read.

And i'd definitely recommend Peggle, I bought it when it first came out and didn't regret it for a second. 400 MSP is a bargain.

i want that nfl , but i only have 800 , so peggle it is then

Comment #34 by Cringer85
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:19:54 PM

@25: fail. Microsoft announces the dotw's for the whole month every start of a month. So this deal was known since the first of November. They just don't post every news here, because it's mainly a achievement-dedicated site. Hope you learn from it and check out the deals at the start of every month from now on ;)

Comment #35 by Infection Ftw
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:21:01 PM

@7 nice math..560-400 is indeed 120? You should game less and do your homework;)

Comment #36 by JayHook
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:26:38 PM

Anyone that doesnt have Peggle yet, get it at 400 points, trust me

Comment #37 by The Bum-Mobile
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:31:16 PM

#34, I will. Where would I find this monthly listing though?

Comment #38 by The Bum-Mobile
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:32:01 PM

And I usually go to x360a because they're usually on top of news that's relevant to me gaming-wise.

Comment #39 by DarkSeraphim198

A rather poor showing this week. See The Future is worthwhile, however I've already purchased it ages ago.

Comment #40 by xKTAx Ultimo
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:32:55 PM

lol @ #35. I want DOOM 2 and Perfect Dark :(

Comment #42 by TheUglyCasanova
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 03:58:13 PM

Aww I bought peggle awhile ago for full price. Pisses me off to see the price drops. Won't be getting the nights DLC though as peggle got pretty boring for me after a bit. Guess with all these people buying it though might be the time to try and get some of the other achievements I never got.

Comment #43 by ReD S1X
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 04:25:29 PM

now thats what i'm talking, 3 deals. too bad it's in conjunction with thanksgiving. hopefully there will be 3 deals or more next week.

peggle has too many flowers and rainbows for my taste lol too fruiy of a game

Comment #48 by The Destroyernatorer
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 05:56:33 PM

I have like 2000 points. 800 are going on Borderlands dlc and 800 spare, so i was looking for something for 400. I may have Peggle on every single other platform, but who cares. It's Peggle.

Comment #49 by Akumario
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 06:12:55 PM

nothing by shit like always, we want arcades , not this bullshit , we want games like marvel vs capcom series, or mame arcade games , street fighter alpha 3 will be nice , another doom game , bring more n64 stuff like banjo.
metal slugs, good shit, i want to know who is under all this shit, they have to start hiring gamers and not fucking geeks, they may be bill gates homie uh?
complete Mortal kombat titles, swell with street fighter.
and make all the games 800 msp, all you know 1200 is way to much,and if gonna put a game for that price , then give us 400G on those games, same goes for all the DLC

Comment #50 by Corpse87
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 06:28:46 PM

@49 agreed!!!!!! better stuff & lower points!!!!!

Comment #51 by Aliasalpha
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 06:33:53 PM

Well if there's a positive side to my 360 E74ing on me, its that I can take consolation in the fact that there's nothing interesting released on the marketplace this week

Comment #52 by Paulpaps
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 06:35:26 PM

Fuck yeah been wanting Peggle, 400 points is a deal!

Comment #53 by Fata1Stryke
Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 07:17:43 PM

If it weren't for Borderlands DLC, I'd grab Peggle for sure. Ah well.

Comment #58 by FOX-Inc.
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 04:37:49 AM

I just bought Fable 2 for only 14 pounds yesterday... now it saves me an absolutely stunning 160 MSP for the DLC as well! :P

Comment #59 by bigsilentrob
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 06:57:09 AM

400 MSP for Peggle is definitely worth it. It is so addictive.

Comment #60 by m4milo
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 08:23:52 AM

Got Peggle.

Comment #61 by Emfulz
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 08:56:23 AM

Fable getting DoTW seems as if the last DLC is on it's way finally... Nothing worth my while this week though...

Comment #62 by Zmoke
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 09:16:23 AM

I will check out Death Tank and Peggle, skipping the others.

Comment #63 by Brengun
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 10:25:03 AM

@57 that's what I've been thinking for the past few weeks, maybe unlikely now for 2009? Also there is a voice screaming in my head that really wants to play Vandal hearts, but no sign of that either.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 @ 11:56:13 AM

Dang, I just bought Peggle the other week...oh well. haha

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!
