    I got excited for a moment when I saw the L4D2 DLC in there but sadly, it’s The Passing that’s on sale again. I’m hoping for the second pack to go on sale at some point as that’s the one I don’t have.

      Same here.

      I seem to remember a promise that, if DLC was free on another platform, it’d be free on the XBLM.  While that was quickly proved to not include the PC, it’ll be interesting to see if it still holds now that Valve has Steam on the PS3…

        It’s been announced that the first Portal 2 DLC is free on all three platforms so it seems like that is the case.

    No Zombie Apocalypse?

    Why are the XBOX Original games mostly listed under “Full Game” and then their title in the Marketplace? Marketplace is pretty incoherent as to the naming of titles and this makes it hard to find wouldn’t you agree?
    Speaking of Originals: Is Halo 2 ever going to make it to the Marketplace or is it that just going to be an anniversary type of game in 2014?

    • http://twitter.com/mcmax3000 David

      At this point, with the original Xbox Live servers being offline, I don’t think it would be worth it for them to bring Halo 2 as is to the Marketplace since a large chunk of the game (and for MANY people, the largest chunk) doesn’t work.

      A remake either on XBL or on disc would be a much more likely idea.

    I’m not sure what’s a worse repeat, this or BBC One showing Only Fools and Horses reruns!

    To be fair, Stubbs and Twin Blades are new to DotW but at 800 you can stick it, and Twin Blades is an XBLIG so doesn’t matter.

    Okay that’s a little harsh but it’s the sad truth with how Microsoft handled the XBLIG channel. Or rather, how Microsoft didn’t.

    But yeah with these deals it’s like you’re not even trying.

    • http://twitter.com/Navarin Bennijin Turbo

      (Oh hang on Stubbs has been on sale. It was 800 then too,)

  • Doug (Honeycut1)

    I was hoping the new Left 4 Dead DLC was on sale.  If you could, make that happen for the next sale.

  • http://twitter.com/darkjester74 darkjester74

    Is this the first time an XBLIG title is part of DOTW?  Don’t think I have seen that before…

    • http://twitter.com/Navarin Bennijin Turbo

      Nope, the second version of Clover was on DotW a while back. Didn’t go down too well.

      I think another one may have been on sale once on a winter promo but honestly can’t remember, so I might be wrong.

    I was going to get some of this stuff, but Live banned me.

    Deathspank,PuzzleQuest 2, Super Meat Boy and Enslaved DLC.
    That would be perfect.

    • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

      Would love to see all the PuzzleQuests go on sale!

  • Jeremy Suman

    You should include the WP7 DotW since you include them in the weekly top 10 now.

    Sweet! Now I can direct all my funds to the PSN Summer Sale.

    • http://www.TwistedJoystick.com Jarbo

      So you’ll have nothing to buy then. :)

      • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

        Picked up Swarm and a couple PSN exclusives.  Nothing amazing but better than this. :)

      • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

        Luckily I’ve had 0 problems with my CC, and I got 4 free games and a bunch of discounts out of it.

    L4D2 The Passing but not The Sacrifice?

    • http://twitter.com/Navarin Bennijin Turbo

      I think the bigger issue is that L4D DLC was ever given a price.

    Done and done…I can’t believe Stubbs the Zombie is on here. I love that game!

    These deals are really not any good. They should be having COD expansions for $5

    • http://www.facebook.com/B4NTH4.F0DD3R Jordan Lynch

      I don’t think Activision would EVER allow that.  They are way too greedy.

    Been waiting since last year for L4D DLC! Thought there’d be a Halloween deal for it but I’m finally but I finally have it now!

  • Tim Isonio

    When is the mass effect 2 dlc (or who ever won the users choice vote) going to be on sale? no way i’m paying full price when ps3 got it for free

    • http://www.facebook.com/superradjoe Joe Warner

      It was on sale last Christmas

    • http://twitter.com/mcmax3000 David

      The PS3 also had to wait an extra year &  had to pay full price for a game that was down to like $20 on the 360 by that point.

      July 26

      • bayat-ali

        Really!? why so late? if they wanted to release the members choice at end of july, they should have said at end of F-ING july! not “sometime in july”. most of your DOTW has been complete garbage, and the one major game that has decent DLC, we have to wait this long for? wat a load of crap!

        • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

          Wow.  Just wow. 

          • bayat-ali

            sorry i just got tired of waiting. But I do still believe the majority of the DOTW stuff has always been complete shit, once in a while(like twice a year maybe) are they any decent, and i’ve been a part of live for at least 5 years

        • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

          Wow.  Just wow.

    can you play undead nightmare without owning reddead the full game, i do not want to rebuy it after completing it just to play the expansion

    • http://twitter.com/mcmax3000 David

      No, you need Red Dead Redemption to play the Red Dead Redemption DLC… That’s generally the way DLC works.

      • http://twitter.com/wolfen2k7 Tom

        yes.. but, you can buy the expansion itself in stores.. since it’s standalone.. so this DLC is a little different. so it’s not too obvious to people.. which is why we are asking. If it’s not playable without it… that sucks.. but whatever. :P

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Erik-Bing/100000534717435 Erik Bing

          no all dlc is the same  if it was stand alone download it would say that…   and it would specify being in the games on demand(sense you can buy it on a disc)  

        • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

          You absolutely cannot play this downloadable content without the RDR disc.  If you buy the undead Nightmare disc seperately, you can play that without the RDR disc.

  • http://twitter.com/Rob_Jedi Robert Sakaluk

    Rather annoying I can’t even buy Twin Blades in Australia, when are indy games going to be available here?

    • http://twitter.com/DrGreenThumb_NZ Oliver Doel

      Its more annoying New Zealand get the same lame storefront as NON R-18 Australia, blame your 3rd world game rating system, i cant even look at MK avatar stuff (not that id waste my $) its a joke

  • http://twitter.com/wolfen2k7 Tom

    We need to know if the undead nightmare is playable without red dead itself… please specify.

    • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

      This downloadable content is not.  If you buy the Undead Nightmare disc, that is.

  • http://twitter.com/Ginister Bryn Roberts

    60 points away from buying l4d2 and undead nightmare. damn!
