Bought undead nightmare pack yesterday….GREAT!

For over a week we’ve had a list that has got every day correct for what dlc’s will be available on that day. Unlucky.
- Stuart Lynch
  
  That is only useful if you are aware of the list, why are these lists not on the xbox itself? So we can have the chance to wait before we purchase.

Really? Im reading this on my ipod touch, and it looks fine.

People should stop complaining because they already own the DLC. So do I, but there are some people outside who surely will be grateful for this years offers. I got Bastion and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and wouldn’t even now, for what other content to wait, since most of the big guns this year have already been on sale (like Outland, Stacking, ilomilo – gorgeous game btw, Radiant Silvergun). Keep on with the good work

People don’t care if they already own the DLC…. it’s if they have the same DLC on special multiple times in a space of a year…

  Why should that surprise anyone? Ever since games jumped from 400/800 to 800/1,200, none of this content is “on sale.” Instead, a few brief times each year, they price it at the REAL price.
  
  Why have permanent discounts, when you can have permanently overpriced games and DLC with occasional “real price” sales?
  
  And to the people that keep complaining and saying “Why isn’t Microsoft paying attention to us?” – they are. They’re paying attention to the fact that every single time they have one of these pseudo-sales, their profits increase on those items.
  
  They aren’t trying to make the customers happy with 200 MSP super-sales on good games that were once 800. They’re making out like bandits with sales like this, from people who buy into them without realizing they could have bought the complete edition for $19.99 a week ago in most stores …
  
  They do it, because it works. And it won’t ever change, because doing so wouldn’t help their profits.

      He’s not wrong though. I used to buy loads of arcade games when they were 400/800 points. Now I just ignore them all until they drop to that price in one of the sales.
      
      Right now you can pick up the boxed copies of both RDR and RDR Undead for less than these so called “sale” prices!
      
      It’s no different with Windows Phone 7, pretty much everything on there is overpriced compared to the android and iOS equivalents.

      Xbox Live doesnt and wont compete directly with retail, finding something in a bargin bin doesnt make xbox lives sale worse, it makes you a cheap bastar d, which I imagine most of us are anyway.

    Yeah, Arcade games have increased in price but guess what? They’ve generally increased in quality as well.
    
    People like to remember the pricing from the first year of XBLA without remembering what we were getting for that price. A ton of Arcade ports and simple flash/card/board games.
    
    Now we’re mostly getting completely original games that have extensive development cycles and are packed with content that can last in some cases as long or longer than some retail games with things like Bastion, Trials HD, Shadow Complex, Twisted Pixel’s games, Joe Danger, Trine 2 etc.
    
    Maybe you’d like to go back to the days where we were getting $5 ports of 30-year-old games but I’m quite happy with things the way they are.
    - http://twitter.com/TehChrisReed Chris Reed
      
      You’re exactly right. You can’t charge the same price for games like Costume Quest or Rock of Ages (Which are retail release quality on their own) that you did for Street Fighter 2 and Ms. Pac-man. The definition of what the Xbox LIVE Arcade is has changed for the same reason we aren’t still using “blades”

      Well Resident evil 4 and CVX are $19.99 on US store, yet in the Australia store there $29.99…. Fair pricing my ass…

Worst XBLA Xmas ever. Nearly all these deals are repeats. I would have expected a few exciting new arcade games on sale

Anonymous

Get your facts straight, less than half of the items on sale are repeats. And there are some pretty good arcade games on sale, your comment is somewhat of an exaggeration.
- http://twitter.com/Navarin Bennijin Turbo
  
  Exactly. Sonic sale got it mostly right though, bigger discounts than has happened before.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Lanham/73201094 Chris Lanham
  
  The key phrase there is “pretty good.” This sale isn’t supposed to be “pretty good.” Is that what Steam is offering? Or is that what Microsoft offered last year? This is the end of year sale, the time when you show your dedicated customers some love and offer some killer deals. And yet, people like you are satisfied with “pretty good.”
  - Anonymous
    
    People like me? I definitely think there should more to this sale for the reasons you just described, especially given how much content came out on xbox live this year. So yes I definitely think these sale should be more comprehensive, but these comments dismissing whats there entirely and/or comparing it to steam are ridculous.
http://twitter.com/WhiteWindRising Matt Holden

They did have Bastion, and Hole in the Wall, as arcade games on discount. Would still like to see Daggerdale or Torchlight or Crimson Alliance, but this isn’t awful.

On Day 13, I’m trading my 360 in for a PS3 and I’m getting a GREAT deal!

http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Lanham/73201094 Chris Lanham

I’m seriously tempted to, and I never thought I’d say that. But my patience with Microsoft is wearing thin. This garbage where they’re trying to nickel and dime at every turn and offer weak deals to their core customers is embarrassing, and they’re real close to losing a 10 year, dedicated customer.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Rabbitc-Finklestein/100002063064487 Rabbitc Finklestein
  
  I completely agree, Chris. It’s not about 360 hate, it’s about disappointment. Every day I stare at that stupid Kinect module )which I recently had to disable because it was interfering with video on demand), I wonder why I bother investing money in it at all. We pay for everything, get bombarded with adds, have a new interface which is sluggish and pointless and any games worth mentioning are now multi-platform anyway. Any exclusives worth mentioning only exist on PS3. Gamers have only one real choice any more.
  - http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Lanham/73201094 Chris Lanham
    
    Exactly. I love Microsoft, and I have since the first XBOX arrived. I have stood by this company for years now, investing A LOT of money in their games and hardware. Yet, I will not stand by and watch as a company gets big-headed and greedy and starts to nickel and dime their customers all over the place. Throwing ads into the new dashboard and NOT reducing the price at all is pathetic. There is no way we should be dealing with ads and not receiving any kind of benefit. And then, to me, their worst offense is the Games on Demand. The fact that they even have the NERVE to offer digital games at a HIGHER price than packaged games in a store is absolutely unbelievable. They are saving money by not having to deal with a packaged game and not having to go through an outside dealer, and yet they RAISE the price? Seriously? Sony would never do something like that. I guarantee you. They’ve shown over the years how much they care about their consumers, and frankly, they’re about to add one more to the list.

      You’ll be happy with your ps3 purchase, at least they had some decent deals on the store(and no ads!), these xbox deals are the worst deals i’ve ever seen it’s like they’re not even trying to please their consumer.
    - http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Lanham/73201094 Chris Lanham
      
      I’m sure you’re right. Sony has almost always done an excellent job of showing their care for their consumers. I mean, heck, it’s as simple as offering free multiplayer. Sure, some people may proclaim that XBOX offers the “bonuses” that justify a price charge, but honestly, the service isn’t THAT good to warrant $10 a month. And it’s just examples like that of how Microsoft really tries to nickel and dime you. And frankly, it pisses me off. I GUARANTEE you if LittleBigPlanet was on XBOX, they would charge for user-created content. I guarantee it. And that’s just how Microsoft is.

    I agree. I was giving feedback on the MS feedback forums about all this awhile back. I doubt they even read their own forums though. I’m in the same boat, I’ve been playing XBL since 2002 and recently I feel like MS is just shitting all over us.
    
    I’m seriously considering a move over to the ps3. The only thing keeping me back is their controller, my achievements and loss of a robust online service (then again you can play online for free).
    
    I’ll wait until Feb when my XBL is due for a renewal to decide but it’s unlikely they’ll change directions by then.

I want more Arcade deals. Like seriously Microsoft, are you kidding me? I´m your loyal user since beggining…. RDR is great game, but c´mon. This deal is nothing. Tmrw is GOW deal, right? Again, next DLC sales? Worst Xbox Xmas ever. WE WANT XBLA DEALS!!!

XBLA Deals? You mean like Bastion, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Renegade Ops, Plants vs. Zombies, Peggle, BloodRayne: Betrayal, After Burner Climax, Portal: Still Alive, Leedmees, Hole in the Wall, Deadliest Warrior: Legends, Street Fighter 3: Online Edition, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic Adventure and Sonic 4: Episode 1?

Or Rock of Ages, Full House Poker and all of the Family Game Night games which have been Deal of the Week either last week or this week?

Yeah, we’ve been severely lacking in XBLA deals lately.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Lanham/73201094 Chris Lanham
  
  Plants vs Zombies – recycled sale; Peggle – recycled sale; BloodRayne Betrayal – Poorly reviewed game; After Burner Climax – Poorly reviewed game; Portal: Still Alive – Decent offer, but basic version already comes bundled in discounted package, Leedmees – Kinect only, Hole in the Wall – Kinect only, Deadliest Warrior: Legends – HORRIFIC reviews, Street Fighter 3: Online Edition – Good deal, Fruit Ninja Kinect – Kinect only; Sonic Games – I believe ALL of these have been on sale before; Rock of Ages – HORRIFIC reviews, Full House Poker – Good deal; Family Game Night games – Garbage reviews.
  
  Yeah, we have been seriously lacking in XBLA deals. There are TWO games on this list, that on their own stand as a solid sale. Frankly, that’s pathetic. And even more pathetic that you use this garbage to justify a transparent point.
  - Anonymous
    
    Bloodrayne, Rock of Ages, and Family game nights were very well recieved games by certain sites, regardless anyone who dismisses games solely by review and metacritic scores have no ground to stand on when judging these games. I can personally say those games are fun, regardless of reviews.
    - http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Lanham/73201094 Chris Lanham
      
      And I can name a ton of people who absolutely love poorly reviewed movies. But that does not mean that I just take a common person’s assessment about a movie over someone who has been trained in reviewing and has a ton more experience in doing it. The vast majority of the time, the reviewer gets it right in those situations. Which makes sense, as they are far more qualified. Furthermore, most of the time the “qualities” which people like in poorly reviewed games are simple, basic qualities that require little thought or effort.
    - Anonymous
      
      You know whats better than taking someone’s word for something, professional or otherwise? Actually seeing something for yourself. Reviews give nothing more than offhand impression, you cant act like you know if somethings good or bad without at least seeing it for yourself. And reviews are opinions, varied and unique, and they dont always agree with one another, as I said (and you clearly ignored) the games you dismissed were also reviewed well by certain sites, so I dont know what youre talking about.

I have to admit that I was saving my points for months hoping these deals we’re going to be good… it started strong, got a little weaker, then died a horrible death, only to have a few small signs of life. This ’12 days of deals’ idea is making such a small amount of people happy that it’s not even worth doing. Seriously, who does Microsoft pay to come up with these? because they need to be ‘future endeavored’ to make way for people who actually understand this day and age. Yes Microsoft, you don’t need to be like Steam because you have so much more money.. but at least show a little affection for your core demographic. This is the time of year of giving… not insulting us with deals like these when I can get every and all things your offering cheaper elsewhere. I love my 360, I love being an xbox gamer, but I don’t love watching my 360 turn into a netflix device because games are cheaper and come with more content on my PC.

http://twitter.com/MikyK Michael Košut

exactly! THIS!

  It’s really sad for me when it’s my day off and I look at my 360 and I can’t think of a reason to play a game on it. Just look at what GOG did. They gave me a free game that fed my nostalgia (Empire Earth) and then offered me deals so good that I bought so many of them I don’t even think I can play them all. This is how discounts work. You wet a buyers apatite and then make them an offer they can’t refuse. Godfather reference intended. Before you know it money is flowing in and people are extremely happy (a single happy customer will gain you ten new ones but one unhappy customer will lose you a hundred new ones.. basic marketing) and since there library has gotten so big there more likely to continue to buy games for that system. That’s just basic marketing.. people hate have multiply systems for there games (the whole reason the newer ones are backwards compatible) This is marketing 101. How dose a company as big and powerful as Microsoft have a complete failure in understanding the basics of marketing?

Sir, you have just won an Internet. If only they gave the illusion of caring even a little. But no.They treat the community like it was a Windows corporate client. Scratch that. I’m sure corporate windows clients get much better deals.

Alienate your core community over a long time and see where that gets you.

http://www.facebook.com/ChristopherDDixon Chris Dixon

Seriously man, if you don’t like the game, then move on! The deals have been good for people who want them. I’ve gotten Twisted Shadow Planet, Sonic Generations, Stacking, and Halo Reach maps. What do we have here? One more person whining and only thinking of themselves.

http://twitter.com/Navarin Bennijin Turbo

Be that as it may, this isn’t just about whether people like RDR or not, it’s that this exact same sale has happened FIVE TIMES now, and now there’s a complete collection availble to boot. This isn’t a sale you hold as a main attraction, not anymore.
- http://twitter.com/mightyfiregoat mighty goat
  
  agreed. I picked up RDR GOTY edition 2 weeks ago for £18 at cex.
http://www.facebook.com/michaelbailey4 Michael Bailey

The disappointment isn’t a reflection on the quality of the content. It’s all good stuff, it’s just been out for a while and done to death. At this point, what’s being listed as a “special offer” sale price really ought to be the standard price given how old the content is. This is my problem with digital distribution on a service like the xbox; Microsoft are the gate keepers, they have a monopoly on what content gets onto their service which means they can dictate the price. This isn’t good for the consumer since there’s no real need to push the prices down, as these cruddy sales have shown. Look at what Microsoft have been pushing as a special offer, then look at what Steam have been doing. It leaves the XBl marketplace looking like a very bad deal all around.

RDR is king! Get all the DLC’s, they’re all worth it.

How about repeating the Fallout DLC deal, since 95% of the western world are travelling on the 21st to 23rd of December? (Good argument?)

I don’t have the link to the leaked list but you can find it at the Gamespot forums. It’s been accurite so far but is missing the final 2 days of the countdown.

It’s not missing anything….it’s 12 Days not 14! The other separate Sale List with Portal ITSP will last till 2 Jan…but 31 December is last one day deal…

http://www.facebook.com/michaelbailey4 Michael Bailey

This would be a good deal… 12 months ago, which is actually when I got it. So it’s come to recycling last year’s discounts? The sad thing is, this is probably the best deal so far and it’s still lousy. There has been a WHOLE YEAR’S worth of content that has come out since then, and yet here this is again. I was all set to pick up some points and grab some content but there’s been literally nothing worth getting. The xbox is going to lie dormant this winter while I splurge my gaming budget on steam, those guys at least have their finger on the pulse of today’s gaming scene.

35$ for both is not bad – but then again there is 0 resale value…
So how much of a ‘Good’ Deal is it.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: “Once an item gets put on sale more than once, that price should be a permanent price drop.”

Simple, effective sales tactic that will keep people from complaining all the time.

Nothing will keep people here from complaining all the time. They could offer 25% off everything on the Marketplace and people would just whine that it’s not 50%.

This is actually a decent deal. I already have all these, but this is great for those who got an Xbox for Christmas and might otherwise overlook this game more newer ones.

I strongly recommend the Undead Nightmare Pack. The sale price is good. But if you want them all then get the Undead Nightmare Collection which includes: UN, L&K, and L&C.

In regards to the 12 Day Sale. Microsoft, come on, Steam has Dungeon Defenders for about $4. That’s the game, not the DLC! And there are other games that are also on XboxLive.

I dont have a PS3 so I dont even know if they have a sale going on. For me (I have two PC´s) Valve’s Steam is the direct (and most aggressive) competitor to Microsoft’s Xbox Live marketplace. Now more so than ever that the Xbox is going beyond just a game console (though a gaming console is all I want the Xbox to be).

Steam does not compete with Xbox Live. The majority of people who own Xbox 360′s and play online dont have Steam and dont care. People need to stop bringing up Steam already, if you like their sales, go buy something there and stop comparing the two.

I’d say there’s a good chance it will be included if that ends up being true (which I have no reason to believe it won’t).

BTW. One thing I don’t understand is: here in No( r )way, 800 points cost about 130NOK (21-22USD) but if I want to buy a game that costs 149NOK i.e, the conversion to points goes up to between 1800-2600points. Why is this? Then it would cost me 4-500NOK in scratchcards. Or is the world only embracing VISA-people these days? I tried to link Paypal to my account, since I don’t own, (or want to own) a VISA, but presto: Enter your Credit Card Details,please. What’s the point using Paypal, if not for all the ppl who don’t want to use VISA as a payment option? Wierd.

All of this is available on the Game of the Year retail disc, which is still cheaper on Amazon, so if you’re looking for the full package like me, go elsewhere. I was excited until I actually saw the pricing.

Gears 3 deals are seeping through. having a look now and here’s what I can see.

Add-Ons
Season Pass – 1800, 25% off
Complete Weapon Skin Collection – 1800, 50% off FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T BUY THIS

Avatar Items
Gold Lancer: 160, 50% off
Boomshield: 160, 50% off

Not sure if this is it or if the rest will go through later like they did with the Halo deals, had hoped to see the regular Lancer and the Hammerbursts, as well as the Santa Gears Armour now Xmas has passed. A bit like how you can now buy cards for next year really cheap.

Oh! Don’t forget that all gun-type Avatar Props will be delisted on January 1st because apparently the Xbox is a toy for children, so if you want to pay money to play manly virtual dressup then this could be your best… SHOT.

Lol, who would pay 3600 points for a bunch of weapon skins (or even 1800, for that matter)? I definitely plan on getting that season pass, though.

NOT these repeated deals! Especially when there are better choices on the market now (RDR GOTY edition)!

And I really dont mean to come of as a jerk, but this fantasy that people have about “evil corporations destroying video games” are just that, fantasies. I dont know how else to put it.
