I got both of these from an OXM disc.

So, an expansion pack for a two year old game is only 20% off? I’m very curious how much this actually sells, because I’m not sure that many people even play GRAW 2 any more and if they do, I have a feeling they already have this expansion.

This should be 200 points at most.

A whole 20% savings on DLC for an old game? WOW!

Seriously, if you’re gonna do this, at least do it with things that are relevant. Or make the discounts permanent.

Awesome , No wait..the other thing. Lame.

i was supposed to be on an om disc but got delayed a month and they promised to send the next disc frre but I never got it… LOL

meh….not nearly as good as last week’s deal. that is for sure.

Heck, I’d go one step further than the others here and say: Nobody ever even played GRAW 2 anyway.

GRAW found a niche when it came out, but Ubisofts horrible support of the game turned many of them off. By the time GRAW 2 came out their userbase was so small and consisted of only the hardcore fans – I can’t imagine any of them have put this off.

Also – a dollar off? Pfft.

For a game this old it should have been more like 70% off, not 20. I can honestly say this is the worst “deal” ever. Ive really liked this program and I’m glad to see it back but this is definitely the biggest disappointment in the history of the weekly deal.

Next week: 5% off Kameo costumes!

Well brace yourselves for the next few deals:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09′s “Spyglass Hill Golf Course” for 400 points.

NBA LIVE 365 addon for NBA 09 will be 560 points.

So don’t be surprised!!!

This Deal of the Week program seems like a Beta test. I can just see the marketing team sitting around the round table brainstorming. “Lets put an expansion map pack out for a two year old game at $1.00 off and see how many fools think they’ve found gold.” I constantly feel like the marketing team is pushing the envelope to see just how much more they can squeeze out of me. God I hate capitalism. Please vote with your money. Shiaoran is probably right on with his comment.

bring us castle crashers for 800 points…not willing to pay 1200

oxm disk for free too :s

weak!! still waiting for a deal on Castlevania: SOTN

For the most part, these deals of the summer should have been just left alone. Almost everything they offered I already had and didn’t want in the first place. I am pretty good MS knows these deals are shitty and it just makes them feel better knowing they offered their members a break during this rough economy.

I wonder if they even check the stats on some of these map packs. I know when I go into Battle Stations I am the only one in the multi-player lobby. I do have GRAW 2 but never play it online so I am not sure how many people actually do play it and I already have these collections anyways.

I don’t even look forward to these deals anymore. I even find it hard looking forward to Weds at the pricing they have on there now.

Still nothing I want. How about some discounts on arcade titles?

Come on! Where’s the discount on horse armor? I need more discounted garbage!

Meh – why bother …

this should be free — weak sauce oh ya how old is this game?? 5$ at gstop lol

Does anyone even still play this? lol

this is pathetic microsoft, take a page out of sony’s book and mark down things people are actually interested in buying

this game is so old this DLC should be free by now. This is no deal.

this should be FREE by now, OMG I can’t believe MS is still ripping people off with this crap.

What an exercise in pointlessness.

This post (majors post about the discounted map pack) deserves to be on FAILBLOG.ORG!!!!!!!!!! Cuz this reaks of EPIC FAIL!!!!

OMG, 20%?!? I’ve been waiting 2 years for this day when I can save 80 points off of GRAW dlc! Come on Microsoft, are you kidding? If the deal of the week was this content for free, it would still suck because nobody wants it!

I agree with the other posters — this is not really much of a deal. This content should already have been permanently reduced to half-price.

Can we get deals on current games or at least games that are actually good that people are still playing? This is just a waste.

Hopefully MS will get a clue about what we want. I mean 100% of responses on the official site laughed at this lame deal. Sony has 50% off multiple games at a time!

Joystiq: “…We’re no mathemagicians, but that sounds like quite a savings for DLC that no one cares about at all.”

So, yeah – it’s not just us.

so how many “deal of the week” are there going to be??

Two more, so far. Look at my other comment posted.

Deal of the week should stop. All it does is give another reason for the whining little b!tches to come out and cry.

Yeah bring Castle Crashers to 800 I will buy it then I have been holding out so far……. How do you open this “deal” up with Braid (which I bought with the deal of the week) and then next thing you know you guys are making POINTLESS discounts…

How about a deal on Geometry Wars 2…….. Schizoid….Castle Crashers…Galaga Legions (SOMETHING HIGH QUALITY THAT WILL ACTUALLY BRING IN MORE PURCHASES) or something of that nature Many people have bought them and they are good games that people would ACTUALLY care about!

i have seen a good amount of people playing but i dont think they will buy this, WTF what a really bad way to continue withthe “deal” of the week

Wow 20% off. Way to make Gold valuable.

LMAO, Graw2 that game is DEAD. should give it away for free.

Nelson, don’t you get a bit embarrassed by having to report on things like this?

Some people will bitch about anything.

It’s money off, isn’t it? Jeez.

BYB, yeah but why bother making a promotion if they are going to give us insultingly rubbish reductions? M$ is one company that doesn’t care about its customer base at all.

hey everyone go to Amazon they have Doom for $2.97

http://www.amazon.com/DOOM-Online-Game-Code-Xbox-360/dp/B001LRQ8NO/ref=sr_1_13?tag=&ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1239666817&sr=1-13

And Pac-Man CE for $4.97

http://www.amazon.com/Pac-Man-C-E-Online-Game-Xbox-360/dp/B001LRQ956/ref=sr_1_14?tag=&ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1239666817&sr=1-14

Amazons deals are way better than M$ weekly specials. Take some notes MS

so who’s the genius who thought it would be good idea to make this the deal of the week? and who still plays this game anyway?

A bit naff compared to last weeks deal. Speaking of which:

I’ve now finished Penny Arcade Episode 1. Can we have 50% off of Episode 2 next week?

Im still waiting for a large discount perhaps free content on Command and Conquer Tib Wars for those maps

So why not give out free content for really old games?

What happened with map packs beeing free after a year or so like in GoW 1 and Halo 3?
Now everything is 400 points more expensive than people are used to and nothing ever becomes free.

So, say you like GRAW2 and find this “deal” reason enough to go and give it a play, well good luck finding someone else to play this CO-OP pack with!

Oh, out of interest, which OXM disc is the co-op collection on? And was it ever on the UK/Europe OXM?

Thanks MSoft! Lol what a horrible ‘deal’ You guys are just too kind. =| Jesus christ you guys suck. It pains me to give you money.

I actually bought both packs the day before the deal came.

There is still alot of people playing GRAW 2 online and it wont die soon because its so damn good.

These coop packs is awesome and they suck 2.GB of HD space..They also have a few achievement points.
More work went into these maps than maybe any other FPS game on 360.
