    I really wish Microsoft would offer two deals, an arcade game and DLC. They also need to be for games that have been released in the last 6 months or so. If you are gonna give us a deal then give us a deal. Most of the “Deals of the week” are for stuff I wouldnt want if it were free.

  • Exocet Nick

    Has anyone else noticed that Kotaku.com are awfully confused over this weeks deal. For some reason they’re quoting GTA IV Lost & Damned for 1200mspts instead of 1600….

  • Steve CTID

    You’d all speak very differently of this ‘deal’ if your nation wasnt seriously terrible at football (or soccer as you call it) :p

  • WinterSnowblind

    xSteve Jx: Like was already mentioned, for those that might actually be interested in a deal like this.. Fifa 2010 is just around the corner, so why bother?

  • Ollyh

    Whoa! Kotaku is reporting that The Lost And Damned DLC for GTA4 is the Deal Of The Week?!
    Can anyone confirm this?

    This is the article: http://kotaku.com/5334176/the-lost-and-damned-loses-5-from-price

  • Blufunk

    It will be for the next weeks, I heard for the August 24th.

    FIFA Ultimate Team is a very good add-on, i bought it six months ago and i spent a lot of time on it. But this deal is lame, Ultimate Team add-on was already 50% off two weeks ago, during one week (EA deal). Moreover, FIFA 10 will be there in two months, so this add-on will be useless.

  • MACPH1ST0

    I noticed that the gamerscoreblog.com article also mentions that Penny Arcade: Episode 2 is going to be one of the other deals this month (maybe next week’s?). I’ll have my points ready for that (since I also got the first Episode when it was on sale too) rather than bother with this crap deal.

  • Rick Dias PK

    Major: Please stop with the EA lovefest. Enabling them to offer cynical, exploitive deals one after another makes me very angry, and it makes me think you’re little more than a ‘corporate man’ with a slick smile and no soul, ready to milk us dry if we prove to be dumb enough to go for what you’re offering… such as this DLC pack for a game that will be “obsolete” very soon. I know those are harsh words, but they are sincere; you put forth a very bad image of Microsoft/Xbox Live to me, constantly buddying up to EA while barely giving any mention at all to more ‘indie’ titles. It makes the Playstation Network look much more attractive. Quit insulting us with EA’s ‘deals’ like this, I am willing to pack up and leave in favor of a PS3 if it keeps up.

  • Papa Neorev

    Microsoft needs to hire more relevant people for the Marketing side of Xbox Live not just Deal of the week, discounted pricing on really old content and especially DLC for older games. And the pricing on the new “avatar clothing” yeah i buy alot of content but i don’t think i’ll spend anything over $1.00 for a piece of clothing and I won’t buy very much of that, if any.

  • NoiZeKilla

    Why can I buy Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Ed. new for $30, but Shivering Isles is STILL $30…Downloadable Content pricing should fall at the same rate as the original physical content, i.e. Shivering Isles should be at MOST $15…just seems logical to me.

  • moocow21

    @Rick Dias
    Major Nelson doesn’t pick the deals. You’re shooting at the messenger here.

  • PriusGuy2004

    @Major Nelson: I completely agree with many people about the “Deal of the Weak” (pun intended). It seems to me that Microsoft (and ultimately the XBLA game developers) could do a better job with these weekly deals. Best Buy and Target (among others) do it. What’s the problem with having a similar model here? I look at the Best Buy and Target ads each week that I get in my mailbox. If there’s something I see on sale that I’d like to get…great! If not, I have other options available that might **also** be on sale. With these “Deals of the Weak”, we’re not getting a choice. I’m not asking for there to be lots and lots of content out there on sale each week…just a few items here and there. (Maybe a few add-ons and a XBLA game or two per week. You could certainly mix it up each week.) To my knowledge, there are 200+ XBLA games for sale on the Marketplace. And, there 200+ additional games (non-XBLA) that have some kind of add-on that can also be purchased from the Marketplace. Surely, with that much content out, developers could even consider an additional sale or two each week…or maybe even (as some people have already suggested) dropping the prices of some older XBLA titles to $5 (400 MS points). Again, it’s all about the opportunity to choose. We’re really not given a choice. If you don’t see something in the batch of content for one week…wait it out until the next week. It’s all cenetered around the idea of “a little something for everyone”…not “a little something for only some people”.

  • rastansaga

    Somebody should call the “deal police” and have those responsible arrested

  • Exu

    Load of old rubbish. I won a free code for this once and still didn’t touch it. (No I don’t still have it.)

  • Louie

    Another failed attempt.

    When will you ever learn.

  • Rick Dias PK

    moocow21: I stand partially corrected, then. It was my understanding he had majority say in this as Director of Programming for Xbox Live. I still say he comes across as far too ‘slick’ and corporate when he talks to us, but if the content of the Deal of the Week is not primarily his call, then obviously I need to take back my criticism toward him specifically regarding the Deal. Thanks for setting me straight! …That said, I do maintain that SOMEONE at Microsoft is letting EA be blatantly exploitive toward us on what’s supposed to be a premium service member benefit, and I don’t appreciate that.

  • CARNAGE RULES

    Major, can you please stop the deal of the week? If you can’t do that, can you at least stop posting about it? All it does is get these sniveling little whiners who think they are owed something all riled up. The audacity of these people (I know it’s a select few and not the majority)to complain about a item on sale is disgusting. Do these people go into Best Buy, Target, etc and complain about Sunday ad sales not being good enough. These people truly bring down the XBOX LIVE community.

  • UnarmedGorilla

    wtf… this sucks.

  • RuairiAU

    If you guys think this is bad – wait til you see how much they are charging for 360 games on demand. Its a joke; poor form M$.

  • Krammeh

    I think more people would actually use this deal of the week, if there wasn’t so many glitches out there on Fifa 09

  • Rick Dias PK

    Carnage Rules: I would like to point out that Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and other mass retailers do not charge a membership fee to be able to access their advertised specials. They run those in the hopes that you will come in feeling good about your purchase, and pick up some extra, non-discounted stuff on the side. When we pay a premium fee and one of the perks of that fee is access to very underwhelming ‘special deals’, we certainly should complain. I want the Deal of the Week to CONTINUE, but ideally with either a single item that applies to more people (and isn’t an offer for DLC that will be obsolete very soon) like an arcade game, or to offer more items per week.

  • Anonymous

    it is a good deal lol, its actually free on the market place, it doesn’t cost any thing !!

  • MACPH1ST0

    It’s not actually free – it’s just a trial. “Ultimate Team comes with a free 5 game trial available to everyone with a copy of FIFA 09, during or upon completion of the trial there is the option to purchase the full game.”

  • LEGENDARY T0AD

    OK CARNAGE RULES now You can wipe the brown smudge off your nose

  • stars fan 26

    How about Deal of the Week in different categories on a weekly basis? For instance, have one arcade, GoD, and add on on sale per week. It seems very viable as older content and games rarely see a price drop and I’m sure the sales are very low.

  • BOOM SHANK GOW

    LOL you have to love the comments nearly every American saying this deal sucks with the few odd people from Europe saying this deal is good, if this deal was anything to do with American football everyone American would be loving it, it’s a deal for Europe =p. wolfzero01 it sells more copies then madden and is always higher in the xbox live chart then any American sport so yes a lot of people buy FIFA games

  • CARNAGE RULES

    @Rick Dias PK

    Well Rick I don’t know how long you’re been a paying member of this comminuty but, if I went by your gamerscore I would say not very long. This “deal of the week” thing hasn’t been going on for very long. It doesn’t come with your membership dues. I have two accounts that I pay for. One thats going on 5 years and is paid up to 2012 and one that is going on 3 years and is payed up to 2012. Thats 12 years of membership dues and I’ve never NEVER complained about a deal or a special that Microsoft offered. You guys just think that your dollar is worth more than the rest of us. Guess what…its not. Nobody and I mean nobody has spent more money on xbox than me. If someone deserves a deal it’s me and you don’t see me complaining about it.

  • rogXue

    Boom Skank, pretty sure you are wrong… If this deal was for Madden 09 people would say the same thing. Wonder why? Because Madden 10 is out. Sports games are tossed aside like used rags because they are released every year and most of the time are the same game with different skins. Fifa 10 will be out anytime now so this deal will be useless soon. To even have DLC for sports titles let alone charging for DLC is goofy at best. It’s a deal nowhere. Now quit acting like there’s a difference between our areas and come together as one people :P

  • rogXue

    Boom Shank GOW… I’m an idiot and apologize for typing your name wrong. It was purely accidental.
