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 ;)

Gave Braid another go as I was never a fan and even for the smaller price tag I couldn't justify it. The game just doesn't click with me.

Looking forward to these weekly deals though :)

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]
