XBA's Weekly Deals Recap 4/29/12-5/6/12

News | May 3, 2012 2:53 am

Crawford apparently got a bad fungal infection due to some...questionable material in the toilet in which he received his swirly, so again I'm just filling in for the time being to bring everyone the awesome :rolleyes:

deals!

Several XBLA titles were included in the deal of the week, however Haunt, a Kinect title, is also discounted this week - usually these coincide with the "Family" Deal of the Week and is only advertised to those with the Family Gold plan. Also several items of DLC were released, none had achievements, and several were region specific (not listed).

► SSX - EA SPORTS™ SSX: Mt. Eddie & Classic Characters Pack - 640 MSP (NO Achievements) Download Link
Both the Mt Eddie Pack and Classic Characters Pack can be purchased separately for 480 MSP each

Also in a trend that has become more than a bit irritating for those of us who shell out the money up front for a preorder bonus, the Dan Marshall Pack for Binary Domain is now available on the market for a whopping 160 MSP. Also available is the Multiplayer pack available here, also for 160 MSP. Both of these items were previously only preorder bonuses. Thanks for the two dollar preorder bonus guys.

Hope this is useful to someone, and hopefully Crawford will be back soon doing these again, I'm entirely too lazy to do them normally!

I was very interested in Haunt when it first came out, but I figured I had a ton of other stuff to do, so I'd just pick it up on sale. Thanks for posting this! I don't think I've seen the sales first-hand since the new dashboard. I'd never know anything if it weren't for this site.

Anyone have any experience with the Harvest? With my growing number of unplaying Windows Phone games listed, I have a much harder time justifying $4.99 than I can $1.99 or $0.99. $4.99 is what I usually pay for retail games

I picked up Nin2-Jump as well; with all of my Xbox Live Rewards points, I got it for free to me! Seems like an easy completion, and a decent game for only 200 MSP.

I just bought Binary Domain a week ago for $10. It was a 1 day only sale here locally. I'm gonna buy those packs.

<---- To Mini for his $2 preorder stuff.

Lol, I didn't preorder it. But I did preorder FFXIII-2 and got the awesome Genji bow, which ended up on the marketplace for a whopping 80 MSP. Not to mention I know several people who went out of their way to get the GoW3 skins - just to have them released as part of the DLC packs.

My point was to complain about these "special" preorder bonuses, which do nothing more than give you a cheap item early. In my eyes these items are being devalued, which gives me even less reason to preorder anything.

I think I'll have to pick up Haunt and Nin^2, lol!

Hektic, the demo of The Harvest is pretty fun... But I've decided to only buy games for my WP7 that are under $2 since they all seem to drop that low eventually!!!

Some good deals there. I just got BF3 so the Back to Karkland deal is a must for me.

Speaking of Pre-Orders, my buddy Dave (Pittsers SR) said he got a pretty cool double sided Black Ops II poster at GameStop with his Pre-Order.

I can't remember what game it was, but I remember a bunch of hype on getting a special weapon for MP with a pre-order and after like 8 or 10 rounds it unlocked for use by anyone. I was like WTF...Thanks!!!

Thanks for the info Mini....I told Crawford not to go to Repo's house...Oh well!!!
