    What a way to kick start the deals off with Bastion 50% off. I was
    eagerly awaiting Day Two sales but unfortunately they’ve been a miss for me.
    Fear not, yous can still go out with a bang for 2011!

    *Cough*
    Braid, Super Meat Boy, Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers, Defense Grid,
    Death Spank, Dungeon Defenders, Fusion, Costume Quest, Crimson Alliance,
    and Outland.

      That’s some cough you caught there.

      i’m hoping for NBA Jam, Space Channel 2, Guardian Heroes, Burnout Crash, SFIII myself.

        Lol! Quite a cough indeed. @Kieron – Super meatboy was on offer a couple weeks ago down to 400 or something.

      Damn that’s a lot of games that have already been on sale, some multiple times.  You must be new to Xbox.  Those of us who have been following sales for a while would really not want anything to do with those sales.

      • Hugoku

        True. Though history has shown that MS is not shy about doing repeats.
        Has Dungeon Defenders been on sale though? I would be over that one.

        • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

          No, Dungeon Defenders has not.  I might be interested in it at 600, but more hoping for Orcs Must Die, because I’ve heard Dungeon Defenders is very difficult without playing co-op, and I don’t really have anybody to do co-op with.

        Not only have a lot of those already been on sale, Super Meat Boy and Outland were both on sale within the past month.

        • gerolamo vigorelli

          When? in my region outland has never been on sale.. and I am waiting for it. I hope it will be one of the games discounted for Christmas

          • Anonymous

            I could be wrong but I’m almost positive Outland was on sale very recently. I think during the week of Black Friday, at the same time Super Meat Boy was (that one I know for sure happened).

            I remember now. It was during the Ubisoft publisher sale at the beginning of the month.

      Good God lol….

    Well, I might check out the former of the two, although I wouldve also liked to have seen Burnout Crash, since its technically a kinect game (if not a good one)

    i want saves! with the skins of gears of war 3, or full house poker!

      Full House Poker was just half price a few weeks ago (I know this because I bought it).

    Those games have been on sale before, often more than once. What we should be getting is Guardian Heroes, Orcs Must Die, Puzzle Fighter HD,and Trenched (Iron Brigade).

    Banjo-Tooie, Rez HD, Ikaruga, Torchlight, and ‘Splosion Man have been on sale before too (according to Google), but I never got to get those. So I wouldn’t mind if those went on sale. :P But seriously, a lot of the ones you’ve named I’ve seen on sale more than once, and some within the past three months.

    • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

      Ikaruga’s been on sale?  That’s news to me, probably before I got my 360.  I would have been all over that one.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Joe-Adanac/100001237455741 Joe Adanac

        Yeah, it was on sale a while back.

    • http://thetjhzone.blogspot.com Tylerh1701

      Ikaruga’s been on sale?  That’s news to me, probably before I got my 360.  I would have been all over that one.

    You might as well have each day offer a kinect and xbox 360 deal.

      Gryffindor receives 10 points.

    • Anonymous

      I don’t think there are 12 Kinect games on XBLA. I guess you could add in DLC for retail games but I think having one day that is Kinect specific is better.

  • Anonymous

    How about some cheap add-ons that haven’t been on sale before? MK characters for example? Maybe SF4AE? Racing game tracks?

    While I won’t be picking up these two polished turds, I did get bastion which I’m pumped for.

  • Anonymous

    Can’t get what’s with the criticism. I don’t own kinect (yet) but If I did I’d be surely glad to get games cheaper as soft for kkinect, a year after its release, it’s still not enough to prove the device worth the money (awesome hardware, few software released to date).

    Yesterday alone I spent like 1000 points and I will get more of the permanent sales (the ones ending jan the 2nd) so I don’t mind not having a blast of a deal everyday if it’s just becase the games oeffered aren’t my cup of tea.

    Eager to see what will be on sale tomorrow!

      “Can’t get what’s with the criticism”

      People complain vigorously about every sale and always will. They think that every single sale on XBL should cater to exactly what they want to buy, whereas reasonable people know that isn’t going to happen. It’s best to ignore it.

      • Anonymous

        For some of the xbox live sales, the complaints are perfectly valid. At this point, xbox live has a lot of content, so their sales should be both comprehensive and varied to reflect that, and they havent always been on the ball with that. That said, it is true that people will make baseless complain for the sake of complaining, on the other hand, you shouldnt just blindly accept what youre given either.

    My problem is why is this information not properly displayed on the Xbox dashboard? I had to find out about this through a fluke. The new dash has tons of space for advertising but none of this information. I’ve literally run through every page and found NOTHING in relation to this sale. Last year I spent EASILY 40+ dollars on DLC and Arcade content because I could check daily on the main dash and anticipate what was for sale on that day. This fix in the works or is it just my friends and I who don’t see this content? -Adam

      It is on the dashboard, just on the games portion. It’s the main square you see immediately when you switch to the games section/tab/blade/area.

    • Anonymous

      I see the Sale first thing when I turn on the console. That’s how I first found out about the Bastion sale and grabbed it.

    • Anonymous

      The uh, big box in the middle of the games section cycles through multiple links, you have to wait for it to appear, so it is easy to miss.

    Any comment on this leaked list? Hope this is fake <.<

    • Raphael Hooper Braga

      I hope this is fake too… I didn’t buy more points for this kind of deal…

      Everything listed is on sale all the time… so, why, in the hell, don’t they put the sale price as the normal price?

      • Anonymous

        Not fake so far. The Fallout deals are up already for today.

        • http://twitter.com/AntaraelDulacre Antarael Dulacre

          I know…but maybe there are some MORE deals .__. the list was found early yesterday on german news sites…and none of them did include the deal on 23rd…so this is the only unknown deal…if this list stand correct…

    • Anonymous

      A link?

    • Anonymous

      looks real so far… fallout and streetfighter 3rd strike

  • Fiachra Delea

    Are these offers available in all regions?None of them have shown up on my dash yet and I’ve searched it from top to bottom.

  • http://twitter.com/MezD92 Mike

    So from the leak, there’s not going to be no MK DLC,  I wanted Freddy too. Mircosoft loves putting out bad deals. All the daily deals are terrible.  Red Dead? Thats been on sale a lot. Sonic? Been on sale a lot too. Good Job Microsoft

  • Adam Murphy
