XBA's Weekly Deals Recap 8/12/2012 - 8/18/2012

News | August 15, 2012 2:31 pm

Deals for the week of August 12th to August 18th.


Once again I have been neglecting my writing for the past few weeks. This summer slump is just making it hard to get motivated. Anyways, if you have yet to play SR3, might be a good time to get it. With the DLC all half off and the game being an enjoyable (and easy) 1300 GS.

Xbox Live Deal of the Week

Saints Row: The Third DLC
► Genkibowl VII - 280 MSP Reg. 560 MSP Download Link
► Gangstas In Space - 280 MSP Reg. 560 MSP Download Link
► The Trouble With Clones - 280 MSP Reg. 560 MSP Download Link

* As usual these deals are only available to Xbox Live Gold members.

Windows Phone Deal of the Week

We haven't had a WP DotW for two weeks now. I have no idea as to why, but if I find out more I'll edit this accordingly.

Other Notable DLC Packs

► Rocksmith - Bass Expansion - 2400 MSP (10 achievements for 250 GS) Download Link
► Saints Row: The Third - Unlockable Pack - 160 MSP (No Achievements) Download Link
► Sleeping Dogs - Retro Triad Pack - 160 MSP (No achievements) Download Link
► Sleeping Dogs - Top Dog Silver Pack - 160 MSP (No Achievements) Download Link
Keywords: Deals; DotW

Yeah, the lack of WP deals has been a bit irksome. Though I probably don't even need to be spending the few dollars on them. I have enough as it is! :laugh:

Deal of the Week no more?
Last week there was no Xbox Live Deal of the Week and this week looks to be the same. Microsoft has apparently cancelled or put the popular sale program on hold. We asked for comment and received no reply, which is even worse than 'no comment' if you ask me. It’s almost as if Windows Phone 7 isn’t a huge priority for the Xbox Live gaming division right now, but surely that is not the case. Right?

Ugh. I also noticed there doesn't appear to be a deal of the week for the PC games either.

Apparently there are no other priorities for them right now :p

For a while there was. It was spotty for a long time, but then was consistent, even if it was a lot of repeat deals.
