  • Jesus H. Christ that alot of deals.
  • A Jersey Shore avatar collection? What is that, wifebeaters and hair gel for my avatar?
  • So many deals, so little time. Very good deals, but nothing for me. The only interest i found in this is record of agarest war.
  • Don't Forget the Mass Effect 2 DLC cut in half :D
  • Got the 2nd Halo reach map pack and Fable 3 DLC, Thank you microsoft =]
  • @3: Yeah exactly! nobody's waiting for that. :S Anyway i have 400 MSP so maybe ill buy some maps for GoW2 :D
  • Trust me to spend all my points a few days before this... And i cant get any more for another week :/ Big fail for me Amazing deals though. If it wasn't for the above i would have snapped up ALOT of them.
  • wow jersey show collection ugh. not only did they destroy the jersey shore name (which i live by) but now they're taking over my xbox. i just can't seem to escape them
  • What exactly can they put in Jersey Shore avatar collection? Can't wait to see that one^^ I already pick up what I wanted, was more curious what next week's DoTW would be - I'm greedy like that:-)
  • Does anyone know if the DLC still comes with new copies of Alan Wake?
  • jersey shore? i dont want to play games anymore. *an hero*
  • Wish I had money and the HDD space to get Reach maps and GoW DLC (already got Flashback for free when I picked up a used copy. Mint disc too! Only £7.99)
  • BTW PLEASE let there be a beat up 'Situation' outfit in that JS pack, just like what randy did to him on South Park :D
  • CHANGE GAMETAGS 560 xH3ADxSH0TxM45T3Rx69 here I come
  • Does anyone know if record of agarest war is coming to the UK GoD service?
  • Don't really get how #2 merited any 'thumbs down' what a stupid system! Nothing really interests me though xx
  • Umm..Jersey Shore? My how we have fallen. I just hope they don't ever waste this as a Deal of the Week.
  • got fable III stuff
  • geordie shore is where its at
  • 10 bucks for 2 Halo map packs. Sold. The Gears 2 All Fronts is a really good deal too. $5 for 19 maps and a deleted scene.
  • I literally just paid full price for the halo maps last week...curses
  • Dang it I'm out of town this weekend!!
  • @ 17. It was prob coz he brought Jesus into it :p lol
  • I just got the all fronts last night...FML
  • I want the fist bump for my avatar!!! JK there is alot of dlc on deal
  • I want that Record of Agarest War. One of my pals said its really good but also pretty damned weird.
  • just got 2 halo reach packs as soon as i saw this cos i didn't know american times as im in the uk
  • Now if I just had some points!! (Or money to get them...)
  • just bought 2100 points.time to go virtual shopping
  • Meh. nothing here really pulls me in, just lots of DLC for games I don't really play anymore..
  • Snooki want mush mush!
  • There are too many people here thinking inside the box about the Jersey Shore avatar collection. I mean c'mon! A steroids pill bottle avatar prop is definitely a set up for at least a half decent joke. Am I right?
  • I had to take advantage of that Gears of War 2 deal, so cheap!
  • Wish I had money.....had to replace my 360 this month after my old one cracked my copy of New Vegas.
  • Just grasped the fable3 and kinectsports dlcs. I have every dlc on this list that gives achievements now. Not bad for 5.50
  • are you shittin me!?!?!? i literally just bought all of these (cept fable, gears and forza) within the last 2 months! every fu cking time i buy dlc....they always go on sale. even when i wait such a long time it seems days after my purchase they cut the prices...BULL SHYT!! smae thing happened when i bought the undead night mare. i bought everything seperately and not even three days later they came out with the bundle. FU CK!!!
  • can't halo 3 maps be free by now?
  • Just got my Fable 3 and Defiant Map pack. Pity The ACB Da Vinci DLC wasn't included... give it time though (evil laugh)
  • *whisper* I don't own any of them games ** LOL. Great deals though.
  • Why pay for Halo 3 maps when ODST is like $15? LOL..... I got Defiant Map Pack ... THANKS!
  • My friend bought the reach maps last week when I told him to wait...I recently got back into halo wars so I might buy the one historical map pack cause id rather play skirmish than online....
  • Wish the Halo Wars DLC's were listed at 200 and not 400 for the deal. I know that's just me being a cheapskate, but I just don't feel like paying an additional 10$ for addon content. Some of these deals are a little strange. Why buy any of the Gears 2 map packs for 200/ea when you can get the All Fronts pack for 400?
  • I have most of it already but did hold off on Fable III Understone Quest Pack no achievements and all but would be fun to play was waiting for it to be under affordable price yay!
  • how much time are these deals going to be around? NEED TO GET SOME MONEY FOR GoW 2 MAPS
  • @37 I sarcastically liked your comment by the way. Think it's hilarious that you're bitching on this site to a whopping zero people who care. Yeah a lot of these I already have, but the Defiant map pack will be mine now ;)
  • WHERE IS MORTAL KOMBAT KOLLECTION?!?!?!?!? Seriously, that is the only thing I want to buy off XBLA and they havent put a genuine release date on it yet!
  • i aint started sum of these yet
  • @3 its when your avatar wakes up in the morning with a undeserving sense of self-respect and just overall being a douche bag.
  • so this ends on the 27th?
  • hopefully this will get alot of people buying the dlc for reach, get bored of owning it and never seeing it in the normal playlists as theres always someone without it there i already have pretty much everything listed there aswell :D
  • Course after I buy some of those at full price... Sigh
  • I got the second map pack for Reach and the last ME2 DLC that I needed. I'm also considering the second Crackdown 2 DLC, even though I barely played the first one..
  • Looks like I'm buying a points card. Been putting off the Fable III DLC for some time now.
  • Great deals..but I already own most of these Great for those that don't..
  • Shadow Planet is for me and wtf is with the Jersey Shore avatar collection? Someone desperate money, huh? @ 17 Remember its not the system, its the people that use/abuse it.
  • thx
  • hopefully my points come 2mrrw in time. only had enough for the noble pack and kinect sports dlc. ill pick up the the other map pack for halo and the dlc for alan wake if my points come in time :(
  • now they do these deals when everyone has moved on that is just bulls@!$*
  • I want to check out those Jersey Shore avatar item just for a laugh.:)
  • hmmm...Alan Wake and Crackdown 2 I believe for me :) maybe fable 3 traitors keep for the gf
  • crap.
  • I can't believe people don't just buy this stuff when it comes out, especially the Mass Effect 2 stuff, holding off for deals just seems counter productive, especially map packs - if no one plays them any more.
  • Recycled deals... woo. Besides, I can't even take advantage of them, Microdick didn't add my 200MSP from renewing 12 months Gold, which means I'm stuck at 80MSP without the ability to add any since I'M IN THE WRONG FUCKING COUNTRY AND I CAN'T ADD POINTS TO MY ACCOUNT GREAT FUCKING IDEA LET'S REGION LOCK MICROSOFT POINTS JUST TO PISS PEOPLE OFF. HOLY FUCK. Yeah I fucking hate Microsoft but I love Xbox. Go figure.
  • Jersey Shore...yeah, I want my avatar dripping with grease and having the intelligence of a rock...gimme a break.
  • @11 The first one does.... the second you have to buy it ;) This are awesome deals... but either i have them or i dont want them :S
  • Alan Wake DLC that cheap? I'll take both, thank you.
  • I may have to get the Fable 3 stuff
  • Even the person who posted this is upset about the Jersey Shore avatar stuff. If you read closely it says: "(vomit)". LOL! FUCK JERSEY SHORE. I hope they ALL burn in hell. Anyways. .. . *PHew* (Glad I got that out my chest)- Look foward to buying that Halo: Reach Defiant Map Pack.
  • @65 that's an insult to rocks
  • Finally have all GoW2 dlc
  • @2 To bad they all SUCK
  • I'd actually still check out the Jersey Shore collection. I've been wanting a "Drink too much and vomit" avatar animation for a while now. Also, if they have a prop of the portrayal of Snooki from South Park, complete with an animation of attacking your avatar/humping it, I'm sold.
  • I picked up the halo reach defiant map pack and the halo wars historical map pack
  • Oh god. I would buy the Halo Reach stuff, but my 360 doesn't even work right now. I dunno. Ugh. Guess I gotta go fix it right away.
  • Fuck my life got 390msp and i need the reach map pack
  • Where is comment 1 ? i just see 2.
  • Nice, got the Alan Wake DLC and ME2 Arrival... not bad, three add-ons I was going to purchase anyway at 50% off!
  • A Jersey Shore collection?! Are you kidding me? Damn, probably going to get Defiant to get my last Reach achievements.
  • i don't even know if record of agerest war is available here. GoD sucks, but if it means i can play an awesome game i'm in.
  • Nothing so interesting....
  • The only time I wastched jersey shore was to see that orange midget get puched in the face.
  • Anyone know if Record of Agarest War will be available on GOD in UK? Probably not but you never know.
  • Picked up the Premium dlc for Crackdown 2 :)
  • @ 37 Stop complaining, everybody knows when buying DLC that it will eventually be on sale so basically your paying to premium price to be able to play it as soon as it comes out. If your that annoyed with it, why dont you wait until it inevitably comes into the sale to be dlc.
  • I Also just bought the Fable 3 DLC and saved myself £4.25 cheers Microsoft
  • Getting the alan wake and halo wars forsure
  • Oh man there's a lot of discounts! pleeease lower the price of "Shivering Isles"so i can finally 100% it!
  • @11 It should still come with it. It was basically just a DLC code that you couldn't use till it was out. But, since it's out now, you should get the first one free.
  • I might just pick up those Crackdown 2 add ons finally
  • Jersey Shore Avatar Items Orange skin for your avatar! Hair Gel! Beer, loads of beer. This is a joke btw, Hair Gel probably be the most likely to be put up. Also jumped to the chance in getting the Kinect Sports DLC, was leaving it alone, then it goes on sale :) Also @88, Im sure you can find that in stores cheaper on disc.. been out for ages now, preowned should be £5 by now.
  • gutted,i paid 560msp for crackdown 2 toy box dlc 2 days ago
  • dammit, I just got onslaught for BFBC2 and I wished I would of saved it for the 2nd Reach map pack instead... o well.
  • just gona grab the halo reach dlc and thats probaly it...
  • Lots of good deals. Thinking about actually picking up deluge pack for crackdown 2 and a pack or two for Halo Wars :)
  • I am not sure when this popped up in the avatar marketplace but there is Voltron avatar gear and you can have your very own Voltron prop! I def. missed it if it was announced on here but its my favorite prop by far!
  • What's sad is some of you people bashing Jersey Shore with things like, "loads of hair gel, and loads of beer" just goes to show this....How do you know these things? Seems to me you know alot about the show or habits of the cast. Wow.
  • Both Halo: Reach DLC (check) All Fronts DLC (check) thanks microsoft :D
  • @#88 probably better off looking for a cheap copy of the GOTY edition ... i picked up Oblivion GOTY for $4.99 at Future Shop used
  • Shit! Is this still going on? I need to grab the Halo Reach DLC and ME2 Arrival DLC!
  • Oh god.. just when my computer is being fixed (i can't get my xbox online without my computer) and i wish i had gold membership, should i could grab atleast fable 3 and halo reach DLCs :/
  • halo reach + halo wars + alan wake + fable 3 + mass effect 2 + Kinect Sports...all buy for me!!!!...Great Deals Microsoft! Thanks!
  • Finnaly my avatar can GTL
  • and now i just got money to get Reach, AFTER i could have gotten the map packs for half price.
