Halo back at the top. That's what i like to see.

Halo gets back on top.  surprise surprise

Well that was inevitable

Sweet.

Nice to see Batman still in the top 10. Great game if you have not tried it.

Good to see Shadow Complex at no.4, it's a great game.

Nice to see that Trials HD is the most purchased Arcade title again. Shadow Complex was stellar, but Trials is the game that I keep going back to.

Uh oh!? No Beatles? Kind of suprised!

@Major Nelson  Yes, when a Deal of the Week is really a deal people take notice!  You think the Lode Runner deal of 33% off to 800 points will give Lode Runner a similar boost???  We'll see...

I honestly don't see Trials' appeal, but there's no arguing with the list.

@Exu Then why do you have a Trials gamerpic?  :-/

Because it looks cool, obviously. :D = I won Trials in a contest, and for me personally it's not one of my best games, but I can't complain about it too harshly. Just saying, clearly I'm missing that spark that's led it to top this list two weeks running. Oh well, my loss.

Oh, one other thing. Lol @ people buying the SoA games after the 800pt rebate deadline passed.

Rockin'!

Notice what the Deal Of The Week promotion did for Puzzle Quest. ;)

I don`t get your comment, Major. Is it some kind of shizophrenic sarkasm?

Of course we notice that a GOOD DEAL is recognized and loved by the people. This is what we are telling you over and over again. So i really don`t get your comment.

Yep, good for the deal of the week.

And yet, games and DLC that have been out since the console's launch are still up there at their original prices.

Kinda makes you wonder what would happen if the Xbox Marketplace worked more like the real world marketplace, where things get cheaper over time and people could get a bargain on *all* older content, instead of just one or two choice pieces a week, doesn't it?

Very curious.

And there's CyberKnight hitting the nail on the head.

I'll still be playing Halo 3 beyond 2010.  Can't wait for ODST (and Reach next year)!

Other than Halo-related things, I don't think I'll have quite enough money or time on hand to pre-order or at least buy and play all of this year's great games.  :(

MvC2, wow.  Yes, I am truly surprised. Sonic & Knuckles still running strong after all these years.  Staying power man.  A Sonic CD Special would be a nice sequel tribute.

Halo 3 won't be number one for long. 11-10-09.

Major, that's because a decent game was offered at a very nice price. A lot of us have been saying this for weeks... months, even. I love the idea behind the Deal of the Week, but have on many occasions found the deal was just a platform for EA to exploit us with soon-to-be-obsolete content on a discount (gee, thanks) or for things we have almost no use for such as Themes (or basically "wallpaper for your console").

Conversely, this was a good game at a good price, it fit the concept of a Deal very well. The only reason I didn't buy it was that I already had the game, otherwise the Deal would have made me buy Puzzle Quest. This is the sort of offer I appreciate even if I already have the item though, so please keep doing this sort of thing and thank you for your time.

Sad to see that Splosion Man dropped out of the Arcade Top 10. :(  Maybe once they release this multiplayer patch and the avatar awards patch FINALLY gets released, more people will hopefully come back to it! http://bit.ly/rKI0v

Trials #1 again, amazing.  That's one hardcore challenging game.  Sometimes I'm amazed by the 360 community.

As others have said, when it's a good deal it will sell.  Puzzlequest was 800 dropped to 400.  Correct price - half price deal = many sales.  Lode Runner is really a 800 game so all you are doing this week correcting the price.  So I doubt you'll see such a take up this time.
