I just got it but now I am 10 points short of getting Castle Crashers on December 30th =(. Oh well time to get a points card. |

Still have some points left, and somehow i never finished this game years ago. For 400 points, this is the time to finally finish this game ":D. |

Hopefully this one will actually work. Uno Rush was the normal 800 points all day yesterday. I've heard good things about Monkey Island, so I'll pick it up and use Sarone's walkthrough if I get stuck. |

This game is a STEAL at 400. I loved this game when I was younger, still have the old school CD for it lol. I bought this when it first came out on the xbla and loved every minute of the game, I just hope number 2 and 3 comes out as well...maybe even 4 though that one was not the greatest. |

Just an FYI for everyone on here, you guys know how Uno Rush's Deal was broken yesterday? Well, it's working today, it's only 400 points. |

Well I dunno how much I was charged for Uno Rush, surely Microsoft should refund everyone 400 points if they bought it right? Oh yeah, course not. Cus that would cost them. Merry christmas all! |

All the arcade games that have been a holiday deal are still the reduced price for me even though you say it's for the one day only. |

@22
Well, I went to buy it for 400 points, the dashboard advertised 400, then when i clicked download, the menu where it brings up the number of points you have, it switched to 800. And I was in a hurry this morning so I accidentally hit download before I could back out and wait. FML. I'm going to contact XBL tomorrow and see if they can refund my 400 points. I'm pissed. I saw where people had problems yesterday, I didn't have any when I got UNO Rush early yesterday morning...damnit. |

| Comment #31 by Kyanite
Friday, December 25, 2009 @ 06:27:21 PM
@ #22
It still says 800 for me. Perhaps you're in a different region or accessed the marketplace before they changed it back.
@ #29
Then why did you bother reading the story?
@ #23
I go the other way, but thanks for the offer anyway. |

@all wanting a free game
Remember the company that MADE the game needs to make a profit too! It's not JUST Microsoft benefiting from selling games. You people need to realize Microsoft is still a business! Can't give away a game for free and lose a few million dollars :P |

Grabbed it just now. Wasn't too fond of paying 800 points for it, wasn't a huge fan, but hell, I'll grab it for 400 :D Thanks for the heads up, woulda missed it otherwise. |

With that said, this is BULLSHIT!!!! All Im learning is lately is the consumers that spend the most money are the ones that get shit on the worst. Anyone agree? A lot of the deals have been really good for many people, but none of us diehard gamers that buy about everything when comes out every see a deal. Isn't time for a free game? How bout MS kicks me 800 points for christmas. Cant they make deals where if you just buy an 800 point game you get it for 560 but this week only, So that everyone gets a break?
iNf3Rn0 Lan, You are right that MS is a buisness. Guess who makes it a sucess, ME. Yeah, really. ME, and YOU and the rest of us consumers. Don't you think the loyal fans deserve a nod once in a while?

And to everyone fussing about people asking for a free game quit being retarded like that's asking for too much. I can think of 6 games that came out for free, one recently (on PC granted) and one we are due in the future, Joy-Ride.
Texas Poker, Aegis Wing, Dash of Destruction, Yaris and Tinker.
I know you say well most of those were paid by company's for advertisement. Well so what? You think MS can't spend as much as Toyota or Dotito's? |

Just downloaded it.
Stop bitching about not getting free swag. Maybe go get a job, work half an hour, and you can afford $8 AUD to download a game that used to retail on PC for like, $30.
I've already brought Marvel v Capcom 2 for the 560MSP or whatever it was, and that was well worth it, considering I've probably sunk a few hundred dollars into the Arcade machine version.

I bought this previously (back in the day on the PC and some time ago on LIVE). It's a quirky old fashioned game that you will enjoy. It's worth the money. |

Cued it up as soon as I saw this story.
Also, if that list of deals-to-come is accurate, this and Marvel vs Capcom 2 are the only deals that appeal to me. |

Dam i hope that list isn't right cause I'm hoping for Splosion Man to be a deal of the day, but that list says Battlefield 1943 is going from 800 to 400, but the game is actually 1200.... |
