pretty good Deal of the Week – shame its not my kind of game.

Wow FINALLY a decent deal again! Too bad I already have this one… oh well. One of the best XBLA remakes for sure – if you don’t already have it, make sure you don’t pass this deal up!
Clever marketing strategy too, considering the 3D game is being released tomorrow, and this one has codes you can use in the 3D version.

Bionic Commando still shows up as 800 MS points at the time of this post. Maybe the deal hasn’t kicked in yet? Xbox.com still lists last week’s Brain Challenge as the current Deal of the Week too.

It’s still showing as 800 points on Xbox.com, don’t know about 360.

It would be nice if we have a new deal every week. I already have Bionic Commando

It wont change to 400 points for at least a couple hours (8AM here) Def think Ill get it….

According to Capcom this deal stars next week

This week is Marvel Ultimate Alliance Hero/Villains Pack Combo – 30% off! (MrPointyHead’s Twitter)

Us Europeans should already have the BC deal but its not on here too so …….

I think we should get another deal of the week since this deal is for PSN users as well…wishful thinking? Maybe : )

Capcom is changing this price next week to 400 points anyways. So this is just another bogus deal.

this is only a deal of the week because xbox is copying the PSN, epic fail miscrosoft.

Hmm….the lower price has not kicked in. Let me go ask the Marketplace folks what’s up.

dirty pool Major, this is a Capcom deal not an Xbox deal. PSN has this discount as well. Oh well doesn’t mean I’m not going to rebuy it on 360. Worth it! Thanks for the heads up Major

Calling this a deal of the week is ridiciolous. Of course it is a deal. But Capcom wanted to lower the price anyway.

i already have this, but i must say much better deal imo.

Just one thing.. isn’t the price drop for Bionic Commando on PSN permanent? If this is a deal of the week, then will it just go back up to 800pts?

All in all though, it’s a pretty good deal. One of the few XBLA/PSN games worth its price, whether it be a tenner or a five.

Left hand, meet right hand http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/marketplace/dealoftheweek/
(i.e. it’s the Marvel Heroes/Villains pack not BC:Rearmed)

Bionic Commando Rearmed shouldn’t be the deal of the week as Capcom are dropping the price in celebration for the Bionic Commando retail remake anyway. However as Mr Field has pointed out clearly the Marvel Ultimate Alliance DLC is the deal of the week, something I’m sure barely anyone will care about :p

I bought it last week on PSN because the new price, and someone else says.. Its the new price.. not a deal. PSN seem to have som kind of weekly deals too, or permanent price drops lately, but noone is announcing it.
Xmas, easter sale etc. on PSN usually have 20 games with lower price. I wish MS did the same for Live sometime.

Still waiting…

At first I thought this game was going to be to brutal and thats why I didnt get it when it was 10$ but as soon as it drops to 5$, Im getting it and playing until I want to trow my controller at the TV.

Looks like I was given incorrect information. I am locking comments on this post, and I’ll make a new Deal of the week post w/ the proper deal.
