I'll try and edit the original post daily, with the deal for that day so it's easy to see.

Zapp Brannigan

RobertFoster

The varies by region price of Oblivion and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is €22.49

Think I'll give Bastion and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet a go. First Steam, now XBL, roll on PSN

I can't seem to find the deals as easily with the new dash. DOTW is there but I don't see any of the above listed anywhere. If I go into the game the sale price is there alright but I thought there would be a highlighted/promoted grouping of them as there used to be.

Moiph

Must get points for Bastion!!!

Yeah I have the same problem which is why I created the thread in case we miss a deal !!!!!!

Hopefully we will get the now annual leak of the release schedule so we can see what's coming in the next week or so

Odd thing is I can see it if I log in with my UK account, noticed it when I was getting 4od app earlier.

You mean you know what the deals are going to be each day? I hope either of the Toy Soldiers games get reduced! I'm keeping points in hope of that.

No, I mean the full line up usually gets leaked a few days into the sale.

Dec 21. Hole In the Wall 400 points http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-IE/Product/Hole-In-The-Wall/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a1d?cid=majornelson&partner=majornelson

Both are Kinect titles.

Bought that Leedmees game before GOW3 launch, desperately looking for something to play, seemed good in the trial, but the more complex the puzzles got then, the worse kinect seemed to perform.

I can't recommend it at all, even if it seems ok in the trial, it might be best to avoid, as you will be going mad when that stick shape of you stops responding and fails the complex levels on ya....infuriating.

I really hope that list is wrong for the most part, gears season pass would be good value if right though. Also notice no deal listed for the 23rd.... so like I say take it with a pinch of salt.

Mr E

Crap list if it's true.

Terrible stuff....

i think if they shave much price of the Gears Season Pass this early they're gonna piss a lot of people off. It would tempt me to pick it up though.

Moiph

I was gonna get the Gears season pass today but I might wait and see now if it does get reduced.

calex71

Dec 23rd Mortal Kombat: Season Pass. Normally 1200 points, today you can get it for 600.

Plus Deadliest Warrior: Legends is 400 Points (normally 800)


and

Deadliest Warrior: Legends, Joan of Arc game add-on is 120 points (normally 240)

Really glad I didn't bother getting in extra points now

I know, I only got the Lonesome Road DLC and Gunrunners Arsenal for Fallout NV, can't wait to go back to that game. Also got bastion the other day, and After Burner .... which took all of 1 hour to finish with all achievements :mad:

Mr E

OP updated.

If tomorrow is Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, then its a fair bet the table in post #16 above is correct. If Christmas Day is Fruit Ninja, then I'll just update the OP with that table and never visit this thread again.

Wasn't a fan of Fallout at all, man they have a lot of DLC sales, hate to see them on sale again, nothing for me there. :pac:

Feck, should have got After Burner if the points were that easy. Cheevo Whore that I am.

I must be the only person who likes Fruit Ninja, even if it did cost 10 times more than its mobile versions.

AceCard Jones

I'm waiting for the FO New Vegas GOTY in February, I'll trade in my standard edition against it or sell it on or something since we all know Amazon will have it for €30 less than everywhere else. If it's like FO3 GOTY I'm sorted, you got an install disc with that for the DLC which was awesome for loaning to friends etc. Sonic sales are great but don't do me any favours as I buy them all day 1. I also was going to get the Gears 3 season pass today...

I know I'll kick myself if it comes out reduced on the 30th too....
If only there was some way of knowing for sure if the list was accurate :rolleyes:

PJTierney

Only thing I want out of the rumoured list is the Forza 4 Season Pass, gotta get me a Ford Escort for eff-all

It is great craic, if it's goin cheap definitely download it, it's just pure fun.

Mr E

Looks like that's that. Street Fighter 3 today.

Will I just update the OP with the table, or wait to see if Fruit Ninja comes tomorrow?

Ughhhh I was really hoping the list wasn't right

Oh well a penny saved and all that

AceCard Jones

But Calex if the list is right all the Gears stuff is on sale soon.
Or did you already buy the DLC or trade gears in? I'm going to need people for the multiplayer achievements.

Long gone, kind of regret that one now as bizarrely a shooter made it into my top 3 games of the year for like the 1st time ever :eek: , though I think one of my housemates still has her copy so all is not lost

AceCard Jones

Well you'd best get your hands on a copy somehow, I plan on conscripting you Batman(Mr Freeze) and one other.

Me :-)

I have the season pass, and while I've put plenty of hours into this, I'm gonna feel sore when I see the stuff so cheap so soon...

AceCard Jones

I won't have the Season Pass until the 30th, I'll grab it then even if it doesn't go on sale, but I'd kick myself if I bought it before then and it got reduced. If you're up for it and available at the time you're more than welcome Burning Eclipse.

djkeogh

Any ideas on what price the season pass would be going for? Still pretty active playing this one so count me in for any game nights your planning. Think I've got most of you on my friends list already.

AceCard Jones

It will either be 33% off or 50% off. I'm guessing it will be 33% but we live in hope. So either 1600MSP or 1200MSP.

Ouch I know a lot of people who already have it will be mighty pissed if it drops that low and justifiably so , that would be 300 points a DLC :eek: I'd say we'll be looking at most 1800 - 2100 range , the Forza pass tomorrow will settle it though I terms of pricing I would guess they will price it the same as the gears one.

AceCard Jones

In fairness it's been full price for 3 months now. If it's more than 1600 then it's hardly an offer at all. Not on par with all the usual ones anyway. 3 months on 33% off isn't too much of a kick in the nuts to the early buyers. Were I not planning to buy it anyway and was basing my purchase on the sale only then I wouldn't pay more than 1600MSP. I'll keep an eye for the Forza pass tomorrow so, was it 2400 originally too yeah?

grimm2005

Just an fyi, doubt it'll really be of interest to anyone but Fruit Ninja Kinect is 400MSP today, normally 800MSP, a 50% saving

friend and foe

i'll be picking up the gears season pass if it's on sale on the 30th. would definitely be up for some multiplayer action too.

GT is under glass if anyone fancies adding me

grimm2005

Speaking of season passes, can you buy these without actually owning the game? I'll definitely be picking up gears at some stage in the new year and if I can get all the DLC cheap now I will! going to get LA Noire as well and that season pass is also on the cheap atm.

Yes, you can buy DLC before you buy the actual game.

robk24

1800 for the forza 4 season pass, so 25% off i guess thats not so bad for 6 packs..... €3 per pack...

Ganondorf

for anyone reading through this thread and not being able to see any special 12 days offers on their dashboard then you are probably logged into an Irish account I'm pretty sure this is because a couple of the deals included some indie titles which we can't see from here, but if you read the deals from here and just browse the games area of the dashboard to find the content, you will find that it is at the reduced price for the 24 hour period. just either keep an eye on this thread for people saying whats for grabs and then just browse to find it in the xbl games area.

happy shopping and merry christmas all!

Should be the same for Gears 3 then. Seems like it's a Gears new year for me then.

djkeogh

1800 for the gears pass might be doable alright. Stretch out the life of gears a good bit more for sure. If there's a good few here picking it up I might follow suit and get some games going

James Howlett

I have most of the Gears 3 DLC so if anyone gets the season pass and wants to go for the "Zeta Team, Go!" achievement please add me (GT: Seamarse) as it seems a fairly easy achievement for 75g

AceCard Jones

I believe I have you in my Friend's list already Seamarse. And djkeogh if you're on live before me you can nick my GT from Calex's Friend's list or I can do the same if I'm online first. I'm a blank canvas DLC achievement-wise so I'm up for all of them. Me and the Missus always play Gears together so I'm always looking for 3.

djkeogh

Yea Ive not touched any of the dlc for this either so would be happy to Chase any of the cheevs. I'll friend you later ace

the groutch

with the Forza Season Pass, do you get the November/December DLC free?
