This weeks Deal: GRAW 2 Co-Op Collection 2

[GameOverRob]

Already own that bad-boy, got every achievement on GRAW2 brilliant game!! Can't wait for the next Ghost Recon - Rumoured to be September!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think MS offered both the co-op packs for free in 2007 at one stage. Or perhaps it was only the first pack?

I know I snagged something for the game back then. Indeed an awesome series (Y)

[GameOverRob]

Have you been drinking? :p That map pack only came out last year!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Couldn't be arsed checking my download history, but this is what I was thinking of..

Isn't he always

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Sorry been busy the past day +.

I'll update it now.

[NoLiMiT06]

Typical EA charging for something that's already on the disc. And wouldn't this render NBA 10 useless since this has daily updates???

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

This week: Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

[Simon Veteran]

:o Crash! Childhood coming back!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

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.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

New deal peoples.

[HawkMan]

Too bad I allready have the march car pack. for a long time :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

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.

[Razorwing]

I'm just waiting for Dark Corners to come out.

[Ji@nBing]

Too bad the GoW2 multiplayer sucks...

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Agreed but right now it's the only MP game I play :(

As soon as BF 1943 drops I'll make the switch.

[Guyro]

thats supposed to come out this month isn't it Andy?
