Earlier this week, I posted a list of content coming soon to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. In that list, I highlighted a 75% sale coming next week for selected Games On Demand Titles. I have just received the list and wanted to share it with you below. These deals will be available in all Xbox LIVE regions where the title is available.
Update: I was just told that sale has been extended a week until Tuesday, July 2nd
Edit: I tried embedding a spreadsheet in this post, but some of you said you could not read it. I’ve updated the post with a regular ‘ol table
Edit 2: Update Bionic Commando with Alone in the Dark
Edit 3: Price Of Persia TFS is supposed to be $3.99 as noted above. You may see it as $4.99 right now, so please wait to purchase it as the price in the system is being corrected. Correction: is is staying at $4.99
