October "thank you" sale

Spend 2400 MS points this month and get 800 MS points credited back to your account.

Picked up the three Mass Effect DLC + avatar items (the N7 armor is badass). Got me right at 2400 points. Sweet.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Has anyone purchased any of the original Sonic games?

The new one seems way too short, but wasn't sure if the originals translated well onto the XBox.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Crazy Taxi is 11/24 for 800 points ($10). It won't have the Bad Religion or Offspring music (which you can fix by just putting the songs on your HDD and playing them in game) but it will also be missing the real stores. So no KFC, Hard Rock (that was in 2 I guess, so doesn't matter here), GAP and other real locations that were in the original game.

No biggie, but would have loved to have seen them put a better effort and get the real stores in (Even new real stores).

That sucks that those stores are missing, it was some of the joy I had driving past those in the original game at a time when real world marketing was new to games.

I bought Sonic 2 and I haven't had any problems with it.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Think I'm going to buy Limbo.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

For people that care about that Yu Gi Oh Arcade game (I do!!!) it looks like it maybe out next week!

Apparently from looking at this page, the game got moved from the coming soon page to the new releases page on the Konami website.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Just a reminder - if you are close spending 2400 points in October on arcade games and add ons, you might want to get it to 2400+ by end of October to get the free 800 points in November.
