+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 23, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 23, 2009 *Braid. :o That game was always worth 800 MS points anyway. That's good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 23, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 23, 2009 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:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 23, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well.They are looking for Gold member loyalty too, not only selling games, they also make money from subscriptions ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olemus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wut, i just bought this 2 days ago :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 23, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2009 ^ Unlucky dude. I guess the new rule of thumb will be waiting for Monday to see if there is a price drop before buying on XBLM/A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remysaus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 do want, but this month is way more expensive than i was hoping for already. halo wars, killzone 2, lost and damned and we have the whole week of partying here so i'm pretty broke. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted February 23, 2009 MVC Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sounds like a great idea. I just need to wait for something good now. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 23, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2009 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Heh. I never finished Braid. Got stuck on World 5 and then kinda stopped playing. I'd probably start again, but I'm currently out of an Xbox. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted February 23, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 23, 2009 This sounds like a pretty good idea. I don't think I'll like braid that much though, so I'll skip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 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.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 23, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 23, 2009 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".

Rudy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 it's a shame because I would buy it for 800ms points but I have a Silver membership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The 48hour trial allows you to play online for 48hours, it does not upgrade you to gold for 48hours so that would be pointless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsy66 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Would be much better if it was 400 points. Now that would be a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hiroshi- Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah saw this on the Marketplace yesterday.. no MS points, tried the demo and absolutely hated it, so I'll have to wait and see what comes around next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
