XBLA Deals/Deals with Gold

Keith works for Xbox/Microsoft Ireland, and he has l337 advance lists of upcoming deals. Maybe they decided to pass on Battlefield, and edited it out? (or added it in!)

Ah OK.

Also, new MajorNelson site looks awful

How egotistical do you have to be to put pictures of yourself doing stupid poses at the top of your site? *cringe*

He's an annoying character anyway. But, when the main Xbox website (other than xbox.com) is bland, with a crap logo design, that has me worried. I don't ever want to visit that site again!

Ah I don't mind Larry himself.... I listen to his podcast every Monday morning - seems like a pretty likeable guy.

Why? He doesn't leak info, he just said that he'll post them on Monday mornings, before Major announces them

i'm picking it up later

Did you get it?

Its not bad, have played a few ranked matches, I am enjoying it, its kept moving at a nice pace thankfully.

Tonees of people playing that aint got a clue of poker, normally ends up with just 2 left at the table after a few mins for a good heads up match.

We should try organize a Boards game some evening for the craic.

Yeah I'd be on for a boards game of this.

I played 2 ranked games last night and won both. Pretty much went as you said - 8 players to heads up in less than 1½ levels, and the headsup went on for 20-30 mins on both.

Its a fun game, and the experience thing is a good hook to keep you playing.

Ya, I have played 3 ranked matches now, I went out 1st in one. A dumb all in call, just getting used to the controls, Y,Y all in, oops! Won the other 2, think I will be playing mainly online, not a fan of single player poker games.

The live games could be good too.

Game must have started, there doesn't seem to be buy in's once it starts.

Loads of All In's early, but the crappy players are normally gone after 5 mins anyways.

Leaving the good players with double and triple chipstacks.

True, if you knock them out.

One lad got a triple knock out last night, and I ended up heads against him them, outchipped 5 to 1 nearly. The blinds were still 5 and 10. Had to just wait for a good hand and try double up. Managed to win, but it was 30 mins easily. It was a dirty win on the last card too to add insult to injury for him.

True! I did jump the gun there by telling you Battlefield is the following weeks deal after Sonic.

Anyway I wont be around long as I'm moving on from 8th April.
Wasn't much help since I've only really started updating this thread!
It probably would of got me sacked!

It was hard to pull away from Xbox but it had to be done for my own sake. Too much gaming is bad for you

Some will object I know!

Sonic 4 : episode 1 this week for 800 points.

Anyone get it already? 800 seems for me to be what it should have been in the 1st place and not much of a bargain

FYI but as Calex71 says above

Seems to be a sale on xbox originals this week too, just spotted them on my dash. 800 points a piece Fable is there, and GTA:SA and a few others.

Yeah there's a 33% off sale on a selection of Xbox Originals, all at 800 points each:
Burnout 3: Takedown
Black
Fuzion Frenzy
Halo
Fable
GTA: San Andreas
Max Payne
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Stubbs the Zombie

Sadly the best Xbox original, Guilty Gear XX, is not available in Europe.

Highly dissapointed with the lack of Pyschonauts on that list :mad:

ShadowHearth

Not impressed with this weeks deals... Sonic is a rip off. Just get that sega collection with all sonic games for 10 quid...

Just wondering if I should pick up Black for 800pts, anyone played it, is it worth it? Or Burnout 3 even? Have halo, gta and fable already. Edit: Plus I got the two Max Paynes during the 600 point deal last time.

Thanks, I might go for them so. I like the idea of having games on the harddrive, gives me something to do with all the space, and not having to change discs is so handy.

DARK-KNIGHT

Sorry but when is battlefield 1943 on sale again? I await that to drop lol

Seisou Kouki Strania is out tomorrow for 800 MSP and it's supposed to be fantastic.
