    Nice week for XBLA. Will buy both,Sine Mora and Rayman 3.
    Also next DotW seems pretty good. ^^

    • http://twitter.com/ENich1 E.Nich

      I’ll get Sine Mora as well… eventually.

  • http://twitter.com/vassie Ben

    Still no Minecraft :(

    Oh well, Rayman 3 HD looks good

  • http://twitter.com/ENich1 E.Nich

    Great, let’s see that THQ and Games on Demand sales.

  • http://twitter.com/boeboelord Boe2

    Will have a look at Sine Mora. Never understood the Rayman craze though.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/THWZMQMLB7JYKVPGNDXMZVLCVM A B

    Bioshock 2? Again? Really? Pathetic.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XOTBJKUR4IW74YLQH2LHQTE2BU Kairu

    Well no surprise there then. Pathetic DotW. And what’s this? 320 MSP for a game mode that’s lock on disc? Capcom, go F#@* yourself! 

  • http://twitter.com/mathuthe Mathias Olivera

    1200 for Sine Mora? Pass at the moment… I’ll get Trine 2 better. 

    Bioshock 2 sales? Please… And the Forza ones are lame too, BUT, Joe Danger is a must next week, though I really think you should’ve added Trials HD once again, but I guess that it’s all about the money with Evolution coming soon…  Sigh.

    Where can I find the THQ sale list? Google is not my friend today.

  • http://profiles.google.com/thief000 J.A.J.G. Thiéfaine

    I’ll definitely check Sine Mora and buy it later, Rayman on the other hand I don’t know…never been my thing.
    I’ll buy Joe Danger and Daytona and the Gears 3 mappack is free for us season pass owners.
    I wonder what the THQ and GoD sales are…maybe something in there I like.

    The exclusive PAID DLC for RE:ORC is BS though. Whoever came up with that needs to get their head examined…but it’s CAPCOM (I’m sure I’m missing an R in there somewhere), so I know where to look with all their DLC shenanigans these past years.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Guigouuu Guillaume Vacheron

    Forza 4 Packs cost 560 MS Points, so 50% off should cost 280 MS Points, and no 320 or 400, no?

    BioShock 2 again? Seriously? …

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_LF772O5DKJL577A2YLAKZVBRXY Ya Dead Homie

    deetz on the THQ sale??

  • http://twitter.com/ansys1977 Ricardo Baptista

    Still no Halo 3 ODST on Games on Demand… Please Major…

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XOTBJKUR4IW74YLQH2LHQTE2BU Kairu

      Playasia. It’s in stock, just checked it. Get it from there! I still don’t understand why you don’t buy this online and get it in a few days? Or, you know, not get it at all. 

      • http://twitter.com/TrashMKX Chris

        Agreed with above. You can buy this game used & new for cheaper than the GoD price, if and when that ever happens.

        • http://twitter.com/ansys1977 Ricardo Baptista

          Well 45$ is not cheaper… and not digital, and thats what I like. Digital games on my Xbox, no discs, no swaping.

  • http://twitter.com/SlimjayDK Slimjay

    what happend to the DOA5 (US, Canada) Demo that was suppose to be out yesteday ? 

    • Anonymous

      I think that’s for NG3 pre-orders only.  Not sure if it’s going to be making it to us lowly paying subscribers anytime soon.

  • Hugoku

    Joe Danger, Daytona and Sega Rally are great deals! I bought those already though, but they are not to be missed if you don’t have them yet.

    I have the retail Sega Rally Revo so never took the plunge for the XBLA version.
    Might as well go for it. It does feel different, more arcade-y.

    Bioshock 2 deals however, have been done to death.
    Not really expecting much of the THQ sale, and GoD prices are ridiculous in my country so that’s a definite pass.

    Isn’t Saints Row: The Third The Trouble with Clones out today…?

    Isn’t Saints Row: The Third The Trouble with Clones out today…?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Louis-Sutter/100002218025921 Louis Sutter

    Who decides these?  The same game sets have been on sale a bunch of times over the last couple months.  Note to Microsoft:  I have all the Forza, Borderlands, Bioshock, tower defense, and dungeon crawlers I’m gonna buy.  SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!

    I’d settle for some Star Wars Unleashed DLC (I know, don’t laugh).  I’ve been meaning to finish that one off for a long time, but not forking over $30 for the DLC.

    • Anonymous

      Then stop buying games

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Louis-Sutter/100002218025921 Louis Sutter

        I can’t tell what you mean by that.  Is that about the fact that I would like a DOW that I don’t already have or that I have an interest in, or that I don’t want to pay more for years-old DLC than I did for the full game.  I (a frequent buyer, btw) figured it would be helpful to tell those who want more of my money, how get it.

    where is the minecraft xbox edtion?

    • Anonymous

      the release date will be announced in 2 days

    • http://www.facebook.com/woodstar22 Edward Woodward

      May 9th

  • http://twitter.com/incphi incphi

    Major, I noticed that Pinball Arcade is absent from the XBLA section.  Hopefully that’s due to an oversight, not a delay.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=500644254 Toby Smith

       agreed…i’ve been waiting on it since october of last year…here’s hoping it hasnt slipped

  • Anonymous

    Do we have a link to the THQ sale, other than Sine Mora that one interests me the most.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=537442886 Abel Diaz

    This is the first time Joe Danger: SE is on sale and I couldn’t be more grateful! I’ll buy it next week on Tuesday, and also the Metro Pack and Protector Trials.

     Trouble With Clones is out today not next week, in fact I just beat it about an hour ago (it`s 45 minutes long).

  • http://profiles.google.com/dfpg86 Décio Gonçalves

    I seriously dont get it… IS there even 1 guy that will say “Oh geez, i missed the 6th time Bioshock 2 dlc was in promotion, i SUUUUUUUURE hope that they have a sale again…”
    Really? I’m predicting that in the following weeks there will be a promotion for Borderlands DLC… AGAIN!!!

    At least next week Joe Danger will be on promotion, and as for the GoD, at least put those promotion in all of those games, not just for some selected overpriced games since it is “up to 30% off”… (yeah, i would buy some of them since they are hard to find in retail format and not for the prices, and i’m talking of those 20€ (+/-) games)…

    • http://twitter.com/TrashMKX Chris

       You do know ppl buy copies of those games everyday yet, so its always new and needed by someone. And the repeat deals we always see are the ones that prolly bring in some good $$ for them, hence repeating it.

      • Anonymous

        Then they should just permanently drop the price.  Yay, everyone’s happy.

  • Rob adams

    Just what I was waiting for, Forza content!

    Not since Forza 2 have I paid for content, simply because I know it will be released within 3 months or so :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lawrence-Lauture/1633300866 Lawrence Lauture

    I hope vanquish is not on the GOD sell, i just brought like 2 days ago -__- 
     

  • http://twitter.com/bobbyb2k Bobby B

    Saints Row: The Third The Trouble with Clones is available today, not next week!

  • ElektroDragon

    50% off Joe Danger… THANK YOU!!!!

  • Anonymous

    Obviously our comments are falling on deaf ears because whoever puts together the DotW’s isn’t changing tactics.  So I’ll make it clear one final time: STOP MAKING REPEAT SALES. JUST DROP THE PRICE PERMANENTLY.  I’m tired of the same stupid “sales” every other month. THQ, Dragon Age, Bioshock, Mass Effect… There are other games out there with DLC you can put on sale! 

    • http://twitter.com/ENich1 E.Nich

      Well, at least we’re also enjoying others DLC because there is a special sale each month. God bless Konami and it’s Castlevania LoS DLC’s sale.

      • http://twitter.com/ENich1 E.Nich

        Oh! And also Squenix and it’s Deus Ex DLC sale. Let’s see if next month there are more. EA sale wasn’t so good…. speaking on DLC’s, I’d like more Mass Effect 2 ones (sorry if you ppl already have them, I only have the arrival one).

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Brandon-Howell/1192503865 Brandon Howell

    Glad to see Joe Danger is on sale for half price. I’ve had 600 points burning a hole in my virtual wallet for a good month now.

  • kayden boulet

    all I want is minecraft for xbox

  • Anonymous

    Until people start voting with their wallets nothing is going to change!

    Me, I’m saving so much more money with these sales that I’m actually happy. Please keep rehashing the same old cr&p cuz I’m not tempted to impulse buy anymore, like I said before I already have too many games and not enough time so don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

    50% off certain items? Very informative. haha

  • Anonymous

    microsoft just announced they will be charging people money for fast  forwarding through commercials on your DVR system within the upcoming months. Goodbye microsoft, your greed and power hungry ideas are getting way too over the top. Honestly enough is enough. Selling every MS product i have. Sony or bust!!
     

    • http://twitter.com/boeboelord Boe2

      Didn’t even know Microsoft owned any DVR systems, let alone it’s content.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_T7LOQAEEWPFE7UBMQGVCTNELQI huck

      u mean on the xbox, or just in the windmills of ur mind?
      what in the godamnhell are u talkin about?

       

  • http://twitter.com/awaschinski Andreas VVaschinski

    Regarding the THQ sale I was puzzled to see the Chaos Unleashed DLC for Space Marine still at 800 points while the other one is going for the reduced price of 400 points.

    • http://twitter.com/digitaldemigod DigitalDemigod

      Yeah and the Chaos Unleashed DLC has an ad on the dashboard that says it is 50% off! But it has always been 800 points. Wonder how many people bought it thinking they were getting a deal.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XOTBJKUR4IW74YLQH2LHQTE2BU Kairu

    Major, you, e and Lollipop are not true gamers if you can stand for the shady practices that M$ have been pulling, as well as the shady practices of developers & publishers with locked on disc content.

    • http://twitter.com/boeboelord Boe2

      Don’t blame Microsoft. Blame Electronic Arts, Activision and Ubisoft. THEY are the absolute scum of the earth.

  • http://twitter.com/Byyys Byyys

    Games on Demand Sale – Up to 30% now that’s funny; most if not all GOD stuff is way overpriced anyway!, let me give you an example of over priced games, bad company 1 costs more than 2??!

    Battlefield Bad Co.     €29.99
    Battlefield Bad Co. 2.  €19.99

    Mortal Komat is like €64.99 on games on demand, its about €45 to buy in the shops brand new!!!

    Why do you never tell us what live games are going to be released for WP? I find it very annoying!
