Why only Gold members? Can Silver members not buy arcade games or something?

Better value anyway, going over ?10 for smaller titles can be questionable in value. Might finally get around to playing Braid now:))

Silver members aren't paying a premium so they're not part of the 'Club' - therefore they're not eligible for special offers and deals.

It's an incentive to buy a gold membership.

For the sake of the devs putting these titles on XBL it would be much more financially sensible to offer sales to everyone to generate revenue from all users. Did anyone see the sales Valve pulled in off the L4D sale? Ah well.

They are looking for Gold member loyalty too, not only selling games, they also make money from subscriptions ;)

So now I wait a few months for the lost and the damned to drop and then I get it.

I checked out the Braid demo when it was first released, and definitely did not click with me

I guess I'll wait patiently for San Andreas to drop to 800 points.

I'm glad to see they're going to make it a regular thing. Just one more reason to have a gold member account.

Does the PSN have regular sales like these? Just wondering if it'll be more ammunition for the free vs paid multiplayer argument.

Just seasonal/occasion sales - Like at Easter/Christmas/Summer/Winter, etc.

Sometimes thing go on sale at random dates (sometimes if a dev releases a new game, makes old ones cheaper), but apart from the loose seasonal holiday timetables, there's no guaranteed re-occurring sales theme, like "deal of the week".

Andy, why not make an archive at the bottom of the 1st post, saying what each weeks deal was so that posts below don't look random and irrelevant.

For Example

Week Commencing 23/02/2009 - Braid - Usually 1200 Points. Now only 800 Points. -400Points [33% off]

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.
