Tempted to go get war3 battle chest as i lost my cd keys but then i'd have to break my no-going-to-gamestop-ever streak.

[Wario64]

rock band 3 bombed to $20. even as a fan of music games, probably still won't pick up that shit.

i'm all over dj hero 2 though once it goes below $20.

[Sho Nuff]

Know what you mean about Rock Band. I have so much plasticrap in my guest bedroom right now.

[archie4208]

I can't believe I wasted so much money on DLC. 

[pilonv1]

Me too

[chronovore]

You guys are weird. RB3 is hawesome.

[cool breeze]

I had Rock Band 3 for a bit and then it said "lol buy dlc songs again for piano sections"

gg no re, harmonix.  maybe if the piano interface was good and I was going to pay for one of super guitars, but no thank you.

[Raban]

You guys are weird. RB3 is hawesome.

Did you stealth-edit this post?

[chronovore]

...no...? I didn't edit anything, but I will admit to some poor typing being left in because I thought it looked cool.

And I'll admit that I'm not a fan of the "hey, kids, buy it again so you can get 'real' guitar fingerings" DLC model they implemented. I didn't know they did it with the keyboards as well. That IS lame.

Tell you what, Harmonix, if I pay for your game and I pay for your hundred-and-fifty dollar accessory, why don't you cut me some slack and see to it that the ADDITIONAL tunes I buy for it already work with it, m'kay?

[Raban]

I mean, I thought I originally saw the word "awesome", and now it's "hawesome", lol.

[Beezy]

Same. It's the only one that I don't have from that group.

Also Final Fight and ilomilo. I don't know if I should get the Trials HD DLC.

[choco parfait]

Missed out on the sale on The Writer the first time, but it's 80pts more expensive this time around... guess I'll wait some more. 

[AdmiralViscen]

That's a dollar

[Bebpo]

Which one is the writer?

I bought the first DLC when it was on sale.  Need to grab the 2nd one of these days for my eventual Alan Wake playthrough.

[demi]

Its the 2nd - and good one

[Bebpo]

Cool; will pick up.

[cool breeze]

both the Alan Wake DLCs are good

First one has the best action of Alan Wake while second one has more cool scenes and atmosphere(? I'm tired and can't think of the right word...mechanic screwery?).  Together they redeemed Alan Wake for me.

[Robo]

Portal 2 + Mortal Kombat $50 gift card release day deal at Toys R Us:



Or you can just buy one and get a $15 gift card if you're distinguished mentally-challenged.

[Robo]

Apparently KMART still has the better deal (unsurprisingly):

Buy $120 of game software get $60 gaming software coupon. On top of that, save $10 on $20 PSN/XBLA points card with purchase of Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Magicka is $5 on Steam - any good?

Vietnam DLC is out today too

It was posted somewhere a couple days ago. The bundle's worth it for Trine, but I've already got that on Steam so I'll pass.

EA iOS games are also super cheap. Dead Space is 99c and is actually pretty amazing. NBA Jam is also a super treat. I feel ripped off for having spent $30 for the Xbox version.

I picked up Tiger Woods 12, The Sims 3, The Sims 3 Ambitions, Dead Space, Fight Night Champion, and NBA Jam.

[cool breeze]

terribly stupid question, but you can buy these games without owning an iphone, right?

I know I'm getting an iphone sooner or later, or an ipad, so might as well get these games while they're cheap.

[FatalT]

Yup, just buy em on iTunes and sync em to your phone when you get it.

Army of Darkness Defense is on sale for 99¢ on the iTunes store.

I hate tower defense but loves me some BOOMSTICK.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/Hulu-Plus/Jack-Links

Hulu Plus promotion. One month for $1 and can be done multiple times.

I saw this yesterday and took advantage, but take note of the fine print:

After promotional month, your membership auto-renews to a monthly membership at the then-current price (subject to change), unless cancelled.

It resets your Live subscription to auto-renewal at the $9.99 month-to-month charge and there is NO WAY to turn off auto-renew on the website anymore.  You need to call 1-800-4MY-XBOX and speak to a rep to have it turned off.

[Robo]

It had to have been recent because I just turned it off a month or so ago since my sub is finally getting close to expiring.  Now when you go to the Account page, it says: "To cancel your Xbox LIVE membership or to change your auto renewal status, please call Xbox Support."

[Robo]

Looks like people on CAG are saying MS is refunding their payments on the additional months, so this may only be good for one.

My charges are still pending.

I started playing, and have put in a couple hours. You are kicking my ass on the leaderboards. It's still a lot of fun for 99 cents though! ASH!
