XBLA Deals/Deals with Gold

And I bought points in specially, expecting there to be some wazza E3 type deals :mad:

Azure_sky

I spent mine on the SSFIV and MK DLC. In a odd way I'm kind of relieved there's been no arcade or decent deals of the week for awhile. I'm skint enough as it is.:pac:

CAn the MK DLC be bought seperate, or just as a package deal? I already got classic Scorpion, Ermac, Kitana, and Jade costumes, alog with Scorps' Toasty fatality for pre-ordering the game, so I'd rather not pay for a pakage deal to re-buy them while trying to get my hands on the other costumes and fatalities.

Nothing popped up yet.

Signed into my US account out of interest. Seems to be discounts on racing games, separate to DOTW. Add ons for Forza 3, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Burnout Paradise. Scrap Metal is down to 600 points

Charlie Haughy

For anyone considering getting the Forza 3 DLC, you would be just better off getting the Forza 3 Ultimate edition off www.thehut.com for about a tenner, as it includes all the DLC and some bonus DLC too, unless you have the other DLC too.

Healium

Think it's Dance Central tracks this week....

Wolverine359

Yep, Dance Central discounts...

The deals of the week and XBLA offerings have been very weak in the past month or so. I don't know if it's because companies are holding back their releases because of the 3DS store or the time of the season.
On the plus side new Mortal Kombat character Skarlett is due for DLC release next week.

calex71

All arcade games this week

Peggle and PvsZ are well worth getting for those who don't already have them.

Azure_sky

Popcap week. Everyone should get Plants vs Zombies. Shame I have most of these great games already. Is Bejewled blitz live multiplayer only?
(It's single and multi player. Got it and Heavy Weapon.)

moonboy52

Thanks for the heads-up calex.

Plants vs Zombies is a superb little game. I have it on Steam so not sure if i will double dip.

Might take a punt with peggle though.

Azure_sky

New MK character Skarlett 400 MSP and and free MK3 costumes for Cyrax and Sektor available too.

tweet from major nelson a few minutes ago:

Quite a few Video Game related deals will happen today.

@majornelson

Mr Freeze

Only just completed PvZ, it was grueling, will never play it again, my eyes can't take any more of it. High recommend it tho.:pac:

Peggle is class too, well worth getting, highly addictive. Lots of luck required though if you are gonna play the challenges.

Two of the best XBLA title they are, no doubt. I have Zuma too already, but could never get into it.

I can't view the link, blocked here, but is Is Bejewled blitz on sale too? and how much?

Mr E

Out this Wednesday:

Galaga Legions DX
Backbreaker Vengeance
Half-Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax

Gunmonkey

Will give 1/2 Minute Hero a go, looked fun on the PSP.

Half minute hero sounds interesting.

johnny_ultimate

Half Minute Hero is great on the PSP. Checked the trailer but it seems to be the same basic game, albeit with a coat of paint. Great fun though, you'll certainly enjoy it.

Want Trenched too Double Fine can do no wrong with downloadable games it seems - Costume Quest and Stacking are amongst the finest games XBLA has ever produced. Do want Trenched as it's meant to be equally awesome.

Do yourself a favour and get Hard Corps Uprising. It's Contra but with anime graphics. By far the best game on offer. Sadly X-Men and Tomb Raider will get the most sales.

Didn't they put some ridiculous DRM on that? Or the original game? I won't buy it, on principle alone :pac:

The DOTW page is telling me that there's 6 discounts, but only 5 are showing. Wonder if there's something on offer that's not available here. Don't suppose all of Double Fine's games are currently unavailable in Europe? Wouldn't mind getting Stacking for 600

I thought the same until I just decided to get it. Some of the DLC characters drastically alter the game play. Sayuri virtually turns it from Contra to a Strider style game. It's long too and better value than a lot of full priced retail games out there.
