Anyone know what roundabout time the GTA addon will appear at today?

[Paulos G]

New stuff often goes up around 10:00.

[hudson]

Cool. Thanks.

[Paulos G]

I was only an hour-and-a-half out!

EXIT 2 seems to be coming out this week too, for 800

(We should have something like that as an official smiley!)

I'll be getting this (but I'll have to complete Exit first...)

Death Tank is out!!

This and SFIV in the same week is possibly the greatest gaming week I can imagine.

[ChrisF]

Wonder what happened to Exit 2?

[ChrisF]

Well, just tried the trial of Death Tank. No way on earth am I paying 1200 for that. I know the prices are on the rise, but even so. 800, I would probably buy it, but it's 400 points over priced imho.

Wonder what happened to Exit 2?

Yeah, the page I posted has had the release date removed since yesterday. Weird.

[ChrisF]

Demo of Monsters vs Aliens is up according to MN.

After the successful run the deal of the week had last December, we’re bringing it back on a regular basis. Starting Monday, February 23rd Xbox LIVE Gold members will receive a discount on a different piece of content each week (Arcade games, Game Add-Ons, Xbox Originals.)

With this announcement of the program, I am also able to give you a tip on what the first deal of the week will be.
Braid the award winning Xbox LIVE Arcade title normally 1200 points will be available for Gold Members in all Xbox LIVE regions starting Monday for only 800 points, a 33% savings.

Braid will be available for the special price after Monday February 23rd at 13:00 GMT/0800ET/0500 PT *

Here are some details around the program:
The special deal pricing is available for Gold Members only
I’ll post the new deal each Monday morning when it becomes available at the special price
The Marketplace team is doing their best to make a Deal of the Week available in Xbox LIVE regions
*You must be signed in as a Gold Member on the web marketplace to see the lower prices

Coming later this month, Xbox LIVE Gold members will also have exclusive access to steep discounts on Game Add-ons for Ninja Gaiden II and Project Gotham Racing 4, as well as the original Xbox classic, Fable.

No excuse not to get that, now.

[Alex_976]

Thats excellent news. I'll be getting that later then. Shame the rest of the deals for the month dont look as good.

[fuse]

Was never really too tempted by the demo, but at 800 points I should probably see what the fuss is about. Although it does mean that unless Outrun is priced at 400 points I'm going to need to buy some more. Dang.

[Dezm0nd]

Good reason to keep the Gold service chargeable, tempted by Braid now.

[ChrisF]

Demo for Braid did absolutely nothing for me, nor did the hype, or the authors sickeningly holier than thou attitude. Pass.
