Xbox Live Market Place - General Discussion Thread 1

[SuperBeatBoy]

I always grab me some indie games if my points totals are silly.
In other news, when did the original Doom get pulled from xbox live?
Actually went to pick it up for 400 and it's not there anymore, damn them.

It was originally published by Activision, they no longer have the right. I'm guessing thats why its down as Bethesday own ID now.

[Family Fry]

Ahh I see makes sense, ach well maybe it will get re-published, doubt it with Doom 2 out.
Pinball FX 2 is out NEXT wednesday for FREE as the tables cost BUT if ye download this Pinball FX table for free

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0ccf0001-0000-4000-8000-000058410834?cid=SLink

you will be able to play that on Pinball FX 2 free!
Ok it's only 1 table but something to get started with.

Team Meat have just announced that the excellent Super Meat Boy will be on sale tomorrow at a discounted price to 800 points until november.

Just noticed Gears of War 2 All fronts dlc is now 400 points (this includes all the dlc for GOW2) seems a bargain.

[Bort]

Excellent news about Super Meat Boy. I was going to playthrough Costume Quest and see if Meaty grabbed me enough to buy the xbla version over the tooled up pc version. Now it's insta bought.

[Dezm0nd]

It's really good, probably the best XBLA game to date. I finished the normal world yesterday and I don't think a small arcade game has entertained me so much.

[Bort]

The only problem is finding something to spend 400 points on now to get the rebate. What a terrible life I have.

Minerva's Den would be a good candidate if I still had a copy of BS2. Think I'll just wait on that being reduced in a weekly deal at some point.

[EvilBoris]

Sweet news about Meat boy, it does mean I've got to spend another 400 somewhere to qualify for the 800 point rebate though

[Kaosu]

If you like music games with puzzle elements, Chime is a fantastic game for 400 points. It weighs in at almost 1GB though, so those low on space be wary.

[Dezm0nd]

And if you like piles of turd, there's Dead Space Ignition.

[Bort]

Chime is a good call but I already have it. Doom 2 is the only potential full game at the moment. Think I'll wait and see what is released with pinball fx 2 next week as there haven't been any announcements for that date yet.

[Bort]

Bioshock 2 again? Rehashing deals that weren't that long ago is really cheap (no pun intended).

[charlesr]

Marketplace looks all different. And unlike the old version which was super slow, this is now super mega slow. And broken.

[toythatkills]

Maybe when it's properly updated it'll work in Firefox/Chrome
