  • Nothing for me.
  • a WHOLE lot of stuff there, may pick up some bioshock 2 stuff to get me ready for when i actually get around to that lol
  • Bioshock 2 things cought my attention...but everything else is whatever.
  • F u bioshock 2 map pack!
  • awesome!!!
  • (except Japan)
  • i need to get borderlands back lol
  • When's Doom II and the Family Game Night DLC (Connect 4x4, Pictureka and Jenga) going to go down in price? Or Limbo (as Megamind)?
  • Nothing for me here, I think its stupid that you can't double up on the points back.
  • RDR Undead Nightmares and possibly Snoopy Flying Aces for me. Not a bad set of releases/deals.
  • Pass... *yawn*
  • Dammit! I just bought the Protector Trials to use towards that deal to spend the 2400 points and get 800 back. If I'd know it was going to be on sale next week, I would've used my points on the newest Borderlands or Left 4 Dead 2 DLC instead.
  • Blade Kitten DOTW already? Did it not sell well? Poor Atari.
  • Wait, what arcade game releases November 21st for 1200 msp? It's currently not listed, fix? OT: I'll be getting Undead Nightmare for sure...
  • Red Dead DLC, Splinter Cell on Demand and Borderlands dlc me thinks 2 points though.. Date on Scott Pilgrim DLC?? and AceyBongos just said on twitter that Deals of the Week DO count towards the 800 points rebate thingy....Just an FYI
  • Sorry for double post, but I think I figured it out. The price of Super Meat Boy is to go up on November 21st. Hadn't read the other article yet...
  • Might be picking up Risk but other than that, where the hell is the Fable 3 Avatar Gear?
  • Maybe I'll get Risk Factions finally. Also, any word on Scott Pilgrim DLC?
  • I am getting a little tired of crappy DOTW that seems to be offered over and over.
  • LOSTâ„¢: Via Domus on GoD? wonder how much that will be.. $29.99 when you can get it for $10. can't wait for RDR undead!!! that's gonna be crazyfun.
  • @15 I wouldn't trust anything AceyBongos says as he's been wrong on more than one occasion (like during the Red Dead Promotion).
  • Which fuckin muppets voted for Battlefield Bad Company 2 DLC to be DOTW. Come on own up you sad bastards. Anyway might get Blade Kitten when its reduced the demo was quite fun.
  • will get Snoopy, Risk and Protector trials. Probably costume quest if Double fine is keeping up with their humor and overall quality.
  • Nice! Can't wait to dress up my avatar in some kickass Force Unleashed II items!
  • Not too bothered about most of the DotWs.
  • Getting RDR DLC. Looks Pretty Kool.
  • Is the Hydro Thunder Hurricaneâ„¢ Tempest Pack going to have achievements?
  • @21 read the page on the dashboard. It says simply buy so much and get the 800 back so it wont matter if you buy things that are on the dotw
  • So, wait, Super Meat Boy is starting at 800 and then going up to 1200? Huh. I'll just go play the flash game for free. Also, why is Lost (The Game) going to be a Game on Demand? Did anyone play it for a reason besides achievements?
  • Hopefully these 800 points I got free come soon, I'm for getting Blade Kitten at 600points if they come before or sometime that week.
  • Bioshock 2 broken map packs again?! Fix them first 2K!
  • when/how are we getting notified about our rebate as ive already spent the 2400 needed....
  • What about Haunted House remake and The Adventures of Shuggy on XBLA? They are both Halloween themed arcade games that where supposed to come out in 2010 so whats the point of releasing theme after Halloween?? Also, when is Dungeon Defenders comming out? it looked awesome!
  • @#6 - Pleaseee where did you get that awesome gamer picture?
  • do microsoft hate japan??
  • Ermmmm! Does this Yu-Gi-Oh game want to come out!? It's been completed for months now, seriously i have been waiting ages.
  • now i have the perfect excuse to play borderlands again! after ive got the 2 dlc's that is
  • I wasn't going to buy blade kitten for 1200 points, but I'll definitely pick it up for 600.
  • Risk Factions sounds good and I don't have Mad Moxxi yet so I may pick it up even if I hear it's horrible, because I like achievements and I could use the experience for when I go after level 69.
  • Whats with all the repeat deal??? Also all you guys thinking that the discounted stuff counts towards your 2400 October spend it doesn't there excluded from the count its in the small print.
  • October 25th!!! undead pack for red dead wooo!
  • where the hell is yuigoh decade duels
  • I guess I'll finally be getting Risk for myself, and not just play it at a buddy's. Hopefull with my free 800MSP, but probably not.
  • except Japan!
  • erm, a question regarding the 2400 point spend and 800 point refund issue, if super meat boy is on "sale" until November will it still count towards the 2400 points spent or not?
  • Damn... nothing really worth my extra 400 towards the bonus 800, or anything to spend that on, that I don't already have. Tch, sucks, I guess. Wish Costume Quest wouldda been cheaper. :/
  • Great, i picked up bioshock cheap this week for the dlc chapter getting it half price will be a bouns
  • battlefield 2 stuff looks tempting.
  • Whoops didnt notice that the chapter wasnt in dotw, never mind
  • Getting the Undead Nightmare DLC for Red Dead Redemption for sure. Maybe i'll pick up Snoopy since it'll be 400 points....maybe.
  • @39 do not buy mad moxi its terrible, why cant the new borderlands dlc be halfed
  • probly gunna pick up the free pinball game and i already got points waiting for Red Undead lol
  • Possibility of picking up the Borderlands DLC. And the Red Dead DLC but that's it.
  • @39 also you dont gain xp or anything by doing the arena. its 3 hours and all you get for it is an achievement.
  • @54: This is an achievement website and 400 pts is better than 800. Anyways, looks like I'll be getting Blade Kitten for DoTW. I was going to get it with Sonic 4 for the 2400/800 point rebate but now I'll just hold off!
  • RDR!!!!
  • so wait, you cant get the 800 MS points from the deal of the week?
  • @33 No kidding. WHERE THE HELL IS THAT HAUNTED HOUSE REMAKE??
  • Can't wait for RDR's new DLC. OvO
  • blade kitten may be DOTW because of krome folding (or at least part of it) shame really, i may pick it up, looked interesting, not sure if that is good or bad interesting though also, krome going under is bad as they did game room, and there wasn't any game out for that which i wanted, now i shall have to settle for something mediocre to get the rest of the G's.. so much potential squandered on porting multiple versions of the same game, and far too many minor titles
  • Good time to grab mad Moxxi's Underdome, glad its 400 for a while and not 800. Other than all these games, game add on etc., I can't wait until Undead Nightmare for RDR. Gonna be sweet
  • Isn't Bioshock - Sinclair already 240?
  • let's not forget the costume packs for DR2...
  • Dang I was hoping Hydro Thunder was only 400 msp. Not an add on. :(
  • Mafia II DLC????
  • *yawn* as usual nothing interests me yet again i havent found a DOTW which is any good in my opionion lol
  • FFS again no yu-gi-oh. I'm getting really annoyed.
  • #35 I think its because only about 3 people in Japan actually have an Xbox 360!
  • snoopy is the only thing to catch my eye
  • only thing i want is the undead nightmare
  • @57 Here, I know you suffer with eyesight problems so let me give you a helping hand.. "And in case you need yet another reminder, if you spend 2400 Microsoft Points on ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEAL OF THE WEEK CONTENT, you can reclaim 800 Points in return."
  • They should keep this 800pt credit deal going. Id spend another 2400 to get yet another 800 back. Its a great old scam. Over price your games by 400pts then give 800 back with the purchase of 2. It encourages sales at zero loss. Make the consumer think their getting a deal. I'll fall for that. Most ppl will pay almost any price to get something for free lol.
  • RDR DLC along with Hydro Thunder Hurricane DLC. Not bad month for DLC.
  • I'll grab Snoopy for sure and possibly Risk. I forgot about that game, actually, and need to check out a demo and a road map.
  • @71 OK now, calm down. yes i saw that there but on the actuall slide on the xbox it does not say that you have to get non DotW arcade and add-ons it just says buy 2400 MS points worth stuff and get 800 back. this is the first time saw something like that. so calm down, ok.
  • @75 no in the small print at the bottom on the xbox slide it says it cant be combined with any other offer
  • At 800 points instead of 1200 Super Meat Boy is instantly a first day buy. I'll probably get the BS2 Protector Trials as well. Really need to get into that game, and finish Mass Effect 2, but Reach and Castlevania have had my attention lately.
  • Snoopy,BFBC2 onslaught and Super Meat Boy for me.Also does any1 know if DOTW items count toward the deal in which you get 800ms pts back if you spend 2400ms pts?
  • wish we could edit our comments
  • @ L16HTZ. Unfortunately deal of the week items don't count towards the redeemable 800 MSP. sucks but its still a good deal if there is stuff you want :). I think everything except deal of the week stuff counts towards it. Even super meat boy counts as it's not in the deal of the week, even though its been reduced by 400 MSP to 800. good times!
  • soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pisst i Bought Borderlands a month ago b4 the mention of the GOTY and now just to and injury to insult they cut the DLC in half when i just bought all of those 3 weeks ago
  • @80 are you sure, it does say it can't be combined with ANY other offer, and the release price for SMB is an offer, so i would personally say it wouldn't count i'm no genius though (actually, a lot closer to being a retard), but i would always avoid any possibilty of being denied, then spend my 800 rebate on SMB (though we won't have it in time, so i'm ordering more points on the 29th when Raiden fighters aces is released over here)
  • @ 82. Yeah thats a fair point, but in the list SMB is in the arcade section, and not the deal of the week section. I may be wrong too, but I just assumed it would be included in the 2400 MSP spending as its not in the deal of the week section. It does say at the bottom of the list that "if you spend 2400 MSP on anything other than deal of the week, you can reclaim 800 MSP in return." Again, I'm totally just assuming but as you say, reducing a game that originally cost 1200 MSP down to 800 MSp is an offer, so maybe I'm the retard here lol :P
  • A giant list, but nothing for me. Why are they putting every Borderlands DLC on sale except for New Revolution?
  • Looks good, i'll probably pick up some TFU II items along with some halloween stuff for my avatar :D
  • Really?!? I just bought the Secret Armory DLC the two days ago and NOW they announce it is going to be on sale?!?! Seriously Microsoft, why can't you announce this crap a few weeks in advance?
  • where is borderlands in game on the demand?!?! i only see FEAR 2...not borderlands??? what is going on?
  • Some good stuff here. Notibly the Bioshock 2 & Borderlands stuff. I think I'm going to need more points.
  • Borderlands!
  • Hmm.. at the page linked by Major Nelson, zero mention of any exclusions. It's just like if I have a coupon for $1 off a package of bacon, and I use the coupon when the bacon is on sale for $3 instead of $4, I still get a dollar off $3 with the coupon.. so my bacon is only $2!

  • Splinter Cell CONVICTION ? Already on games on Demand? No way. They gotta mean Double Agent. Its only been out like 6 months. That seems way to early. Must be a typo?!?!?!?
  • @7... me too
  • I am still mad at myself for buying Gears of War 2 - All Fronts Map Pack @ 800 MS points 2 months ago!! I should have waited...the same happen to me with COD WAW and MW2 DLCs...ugh
  • @91 i dont know because everything is coming out in another format soon after it comes out, i mean movies come out a few months after they are done in the theater. plus microsoft is trying to get people more willing to buy games, i mean we are all going crazy on this thing were we spend 30 dollars and get 10 back.
  • Dammit, I bought Snoopy Flying Ace like a month ago. Dam it it could have waited.
  • New Forza 3 car pack? Thought they said in Oct....hmm..
  • 50% Snoppy Flying Ace and Blade Kitten?! HELL YES!!
  • How comes the Japs lose out on the brilliant Borderlands!!!??
  • Yeah Lost! Oh wait, it sucked and I wasted 50 bucks for 5 hours of nothing.
  • Wow. 2 repeat DOTW's. C'mon, what the hell.
  • #90- DOTW is considered "an offer". The free points "cannot be combined with another offer"
  • Hell yeah, will spend all my points this month ;P
  • does anyone know if the discounted GoW2 map pack counts towards the rebate? i bought them for 400 MSP
  • The borderlands content is very tempting since I dont have any of it yet.
  • Sweet! Just recently played Bioshock 2 and was going to get the DLC, good thing I checked here or I'd be paying full price
  • ok has anyone else seen that borderlands is listed as being 2400 msp for the full game on games on demand?
  • nothing here really intrests me.
  • Red dead + costume quest only puts me at 2000. Whomp Whomp to me
  • I will defo be getting risk faction on DoTW. And that's about it... Also, didn't Blade Kittem come out like a month ago and already discounted???
  • @19 yea why are they putting the same DLC up for DOTW on bioshock 2? all they added was the protector trials? Why not add the Minervas Den for like 400???!
  • Guess I will have to wait for Minervas Den to go on DOTW, but for now the protector trials will suffice.
