Xbox Live The Deal Of The Week

I missed a couple of weeks with my time away from the forums, but I thought I better post this weeks deal before its over.

You can get Bionic Commando Rearmed for 400 points [50% off]. Usually 800 points.

This deal will end tomorrow, so if you want it, be quick! I'll pick up this topic again starting tomorrow with a new deal hopefully. I expect something good seeing as it's the start of E3.

New deal, but don't buy it!

Here's why..

Major Nelson brings word of another bad deal for Xbox's "deal of the week." The latest laughable offer is that the Gears of War 2 Combustible map pack is discounted from 800 ($10) to the jaw-dropping price of 560 ($7). Hold on, let us get the Sham Wow to absorb the drool of shock dribbling out of our mouths.

So, basically, if you haven't downloaded any of the new Gears of War 2 map packs yet, going online and downloading them breaks down like this:

* Combustible maps (560 / $7) - available now

* Snowblind maps (800 / $10) - available now

* Dark Corners (1200 / $15) - available July 28

That comes to a grand total of $32 dollars, $12 more expensive than purchasing All Fronts, which includes all of this stuff (and more!) for 1600 ($20) when it releases July 28. It's a sucker punch (not the good kind) for this content to go on sale now.

If you had half a brain cell, you wouldn't buy any of the maps. The multiplayer still isn't up to scratch in my eyes. All I do is play Horde and the existing maps are fine as they are, and it's rare that we ever play on a Flashback map so I can't see how we'd play on one of the paid-for maps any more.

    • I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
