    How does one avail of this offer?

    (Really glad I didn't get Splosion Man on the last offer)

    They are practically giving it away.

    Well Spotted ... I only had 160 points sitting in my account and hadn't bought this yet. I foresee a purchase I'll be making this week :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    Great offers - I'll be picking up whatever games I do not own :D

    🤪

    Might pick up San Andreas just for the hell of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,565 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    for 4 euro, san andreas is quite tempting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    LOL. Trials HD gave me an error message the other night when trying to buy it. Phew, as they say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭AndyKiely


    Thankfully I'm too cheap and I wait for big bargains like this! Good few games gonna be bought there methinks :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    great prices for Splosion Man and Trials in fairness. If you don't have either of those it's a must.

    turn on your xbox folks, i suspected these deals were for USA because of the 720 point movies, our deals are a bit different.

    monkey island 1 and monkey island 2 are 400 each. trails HD-DLC is 240.

    My mistake... they're offering daily deals, so pick up the Trials DLC today if you plan on getting the game during the week

    So all of the games posted above are not available at the cheap prices?

    got 800 pointaroos on the account, probably get trials

    maybe the splinter cell add on or portal 2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    Oh I might grab the Trials DLC alright. Finished the game on Hard but haven't really gotten anywhere on expert yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,209 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Will be getting Splosion Man, excellent stuff :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    At least NFL Arcade is still on sale here so I am currently downloading that.

    Be careful, that's not Portal 2 as such. It's Portal 1.5, so to speak. The same game off the Orange Box with a few bonus puzzles.

    If you haven't played Portal before, it's a steal at 400 points. If you have the orange box already, it's probably not worth it.

    The real Portal 2 is due out in April 2011 (or whenever Valve see fit).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    I got Zombie Apocalypse when it was deal of the week last time, have to say I quite enjoyed it. Well worth the 400 , was fun in co-op.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,128 ✭✭✭thorbarry

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,258 ✭✭✭✭DARK-KNIGHT


    went to download serious sam hd for 600 and price is coming up 1200 still any reason why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,695 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    What are the cheapest places to get xbox points? Or are they more or less the same throughout?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    think they're the same give or take a few $$ or so in diff places


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71

    Does this mean that the above offers will be definitely available here too? Don't wanna go buying points if I can't use them.

    Trying to select GTA:SA from the PC and it keeps on failing on me. Not going to be going back to the house with the Xbox in it today so looks like they are going to deny me. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Just looking for some recommendations on arcade games, seems like a good time to avail of some offers, only started exploring downloadable games recently, finally got braid and Rez hd there the other day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭Fingleberries


    Brilliant - Got 'Splosion Man for 160 points. The demo was OK, but I'd buy that for a dollar (well OK, for less than two euro for sure :))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 648 ✭✭✭creativedrinker

    It's the bleeding daft region restriction that is preventing me from downloading it. :mad:

    Exactly the same number of points to buy in IE or in GB, but it won't let me do so because my IP address is now a GB one and they won't let me change the country linked to the account from being IE. :mad: :mad: :mad:
