Microsoft announces “Xbox LIVE Marketplace Holiday Deal of the Week”

Nelson’s announced the “Xbox LIVE Marketplace Holiday Deal of the Week,” probably the greatest trip-off-the-tongue promotion of all time.

Blurb:

The program kicks off tomorrow with a deal on the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack. Originally priced at 600 points, it will go on sale tomorrow for 400 points for Gold Members in ALL Xbox LIVE regions. That is a savings of 33% (200 points.) The special pricing will be available after 0900 PT for one week.

There’ll be cuts every week in December. More through there.

    Aren’t the maps multi-player only, though? :-D

    You get what you pay for etc.

    Yeah, it seems pretty pointless to get these if you are a silver member, unless you play split-screen or LAN with people all the time opposed to on Xbox Live. So pretty much no-one’s gonna miss out

    But how can they do such a thing? It was impossible last week to change some prices for anyone outside the US after all.

    How queer!

    I want to see lots more value for my Gold sub personally - just being able to play online doesn’t cut it anymore. They should keep going until the silver subs whining reaches illegal to work in noise levels!

    @Whizzo

    Maybe they have to do a deal with the people who actually make these games to put a discount on it?

    now another note…JUST BRING ME FREAKIN’ GOLDENEYE as a holiday deal damn it!!!

    I think Microsoft could probably have had a word with themselves to reduce the pricing of such things as the Crackdown DLC last week.
