[quote name='mr_bungle']May have to get Banjo-Tooie, is it as good as the first? I 200/200'd it.[/QUOTE]

Tooie is definitely good. Looking at the achievement list, should be able to 200/200 that without too much trouble, since beating Canary Mary doesn't appear to be a requirement for any achievements (never managed that on the N64 version). I wouldn't have been surprised if the game had 11 1 point achievements and 1 189 pointer for winning all the Canary Mary races (no turbo controllers).

Now, where's Jet Force Gemini? I'd pay 800 for that easy, maybe even 1,200 if the mood strikes me.

1200 points is a little bit outrageous for Jet Force Gemini, even though it's one of the best games for the N64. It's a steal at 800, I think.

Can't wait for Holiday Sale 2. If the hints are somewhat true, I'd pick up Monday Night Combat for sure.

I never played much of them back on the N64, so getting them on XBLA was great. The thing is though, I played them back to back for 200/200 on each, and by that point, BT was just dragging on. BT is definitely bigger than the first and better in most aspects, but like one of the worlds just was not fun. The level where you morph into a washing machine was just boring and terrible to navigate, but besides that, it was a blast and the 200/200 was a bit easier than BK IIRC. Easy recommendation if you liked the first.

I've been wondering about JFG forever! 4J Studios has been doing a great job with Rare ports, and I would pay whatever they want for JFG. And on that note, I hope that Perfect Dark is 400 MSP or less, since that's all I have and seems like the ideal sale price.
 
I have trouble justifying the purchase of banjo 1 and 2 since I still have them for my N64. (Along with about 200 other games) Perfect dark being touched up makes me want it, but same story, 800 was a little much for me to replay a game. Hoping it goes on sale for 400 as well.
 
For Blazblue CS fans, Makoto is available for 320 pts today (12/20), but the other stuff listed (voices, colors, etc) in the OP have NOT had their prices reduced (yet). Odd, I would have expected everything to drop at the same time.
 
[quote name='mr_bungle']May have to get Banjo-Tooie, is it as good as the first? I 200/200'd it.[/QUOTE]

Tooie is much *much* bigger than the first game, which can turn the later levels into a real chore to navigate through. IIRC you don't really need to complete most of the levels, even for the 200, which is nice.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it and adjust if it's not corrected by tomorrow
 
So all the talk of a Limbo sale is based off the OXM clue of turning out the lights? Hmm, is that really much to go on? I was going to take advantage of the 2 game 400 pt rebate offer before it ends tonight, and was thinking Hydro Thunder and Limbo... I'd hate to see it on the daily deals in a few days though at a better discount. Perhaps I'll get HT and Costume Quest instead... Anyone have any thoughts on those?

I'm hoping for CQ to be one of the daily deals actually. I don't think it would hurt to pass on this deal tbh. I suspect a good number of the games listed will be $10 deals at some point in the relatively near future.
 
Super Meat boy is on steam for 3.75 today, but I already bought it for 10.

Come on Microsoft, make it 400 points

Yeah, I know what you mean.. 400 pts back isn't that great. But it's the first deal of sorts on Hydro Thunder (that I'm aware of) and I have been interested in that for a while now. Normally I don't buy XBLA games until they go on sale. I'll prolly keep debating this until 11:59 EST, haha

What's in this DLC?[/QUOTE]
Looks like this portion of the sale has started already.

Yep, I just bought the Borderlands DLC.

It's only up on the website though, looked for it on the console and it still came up regular price.

I bit on the deal and got tropic thunder and costume quest and am going to wait on those 400 ms points within a month hopefully. tropic thunder still has an active community on xbl and costume quest is a simple, but fun rpg game and it recently got dlc so it's getting support. If you have any credit @ gamestop, you can just pick up Limbo there instead which is what I did and I regret paying that much for it. Don't think Limbo will go on sale until at least near end of january since it's a popular game for some reason, but it's not worth the hype i'd say wait for it to go on sale instead.

Good for you that they're pro'ing it up soon with a free upgrade.

I'm pretty sure you meant Hydro Thunder, and yeah I picked up the same 2 games. HT and Costume Quest. I bought them at about 11:40 EST, although when I look at download history on xbox.com it is saying those were done on 12/21... MS better not give me any crap and try to deny me points. Anyone got there 400 back from November's MS Game Studios offer? I don't have then yet but I waited til the last eligible day to make purchases then also.
 
At least we'll get more than just the glasses on Day 1 this year. I remember last year, people were pissed when MS advertised these deals and the first day was 2010 glasses.
 
Is Super Meatwad really worth 800 or should I wait a year to get it for 400? I'm in no hurry.

Also: Claptrap? It's on my radar but I haven't really begun playing Borderlands at all yet (and have the zombie disc expansion already installed)

This sale is much more perplexing than the last. Trials HD + expansion & 'Splosion Man was a no-brainer.

Yes, whatever it's called. Sorry we're not all huge diehard fans of the game to know what exactly it's called. Afterall, i'm inbetween games and have so many to play I couldn't tell you specifics about each but anyways, good choice on the 2 games and you have to remember that the time zones vary from wherever you're located and microsoft's location as well. I'm still waiting on the 400 ms points from November as well so i'll post when I receive them.
 
Added to OP

Sega sent out an email about their holiday sale. They listed After Burner Climax and this:
"Shhh, it’s a secret – no really – we can’t tell you – so check back on December 30th to see what we’ll be discounting!"
I'd wager they are the daily sale 12/30

SMB is on steam for $3.75... if you have a wired xbox controller or receiver get it there... It comes with an extra character and user created levels...
 
I bought Claptraps New Revolution, I love Borderlands and was hoping to get the final piece of DLC at a discount. Here's hoping that Dance Central DLC is going to be on sale this week, too!
 
Was thinking about picking up Claptraps New Revolution as well. Only thing in the sale that I'm interested in that I don't already have.

Might wait awhile and check out the daily deals first.
 
A couple of the achievements in Claptrap are a grind-fest. I've played about an hour or so of it. It's worth $5 if you like Borderlands

You named a movie... You don't have to be a die hard fan to at least name something that is at least in the same category of entertainment.

[quote name='Kerig']This sale is much more perplexing than the last. Trials HD + expansion & 'Splosion Man was a no-brainer.[/QUOTE]

Afterburner is probably the only "no-brainer" of the initial rush. And that's been on sale for that price before anyway.

And boo-urns at no XBLA game on day 1.
 
So that's what $15 for the complete dlc pack? I've seen the disc run pretty close to that-around $20 so I might just wait and snag the disc for $15 at some point or better yet wait out a GoTY/complete edition since I don't have the game yet. Otherwise not too terrible a deal.

BTW does the collection disc content download to the system or boot from the disc? I'd rather play from the disc and save the storage on my HDD when I can.
 
What's the general consensus? Are the other two packs worth the extra 600 points it would cost to get the full collection, or should I just grab the Undead Nightmare DLC pack that's apparently by far the best of the bunch?

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX for 400 points would be an insta-buy! :bouncy:

Duh, reading is fundamental. Thanks Gordo for pointing out what I overlooked

+1

Too bad it'll be the regular CE and not DX if anything I'd wager. And as far as I know Pac-Man holds at least a couple world records.
 
I'm tempted to buy Liars and Cheats pack simply because I LOVE playing me some Liar's Dice. Though I think the more logical side is telling me not as many people share that love I do online and I should pass.
