   Deal of the week is supposed to be one of the (very few) perks of paying your live sub, but tbh week upon week I'm just not impressed.

   They like their themes, and if the theme is no good for you then you're out of luck. This weeks deal was Dance Central content, that's only going to appeal to a very very small subsection of Gold subs. On top of that very few of the deals seem like deals at all, more often it's priced as it should have been already of the week.

   Anyone else think they should put more effort in to deal of the week? Maybe make sure there's always at least one arcade title or full game on offer so that it's not just owners of a particular game that are getting a deal.

   Steams new deal of the day promotion makes the xbox deal of the week - a perk we're paying for, look particularly poor.

   I love these topics :>

   Everytime Major Nelson posts the deal of the week, the complains start over and over again (mostly from americans lol :P)

   Deals have been a bit pony of late, but there have been some very good ones this year too. Maybe they'll pick up now we're into the summer and no bugger's buying anything.

   I just want the Bioshock 2 stuff to roll around again. Keep missing it.

   If they're going to do weeks where the only thing on offer is dlc for a particular title it would be cool if they put the games on demand version on sale at a really good price. Make it a really good deal that competes with retail.

   Minerva's Den is excellent, Hunam. I got it the last time it was on sale for 400 points and it was well worth the money.

   How about a 50% off of anything you purchase all week long as a Deal of the Week? Then maybe I would be impressed, because yea their deals are pretty lite. But I guess if your a Dance Central nut its great.

   Incidentally, it's worth signing up to the Rewards Programme if you're not on it already. A couple of times in the last few months they've done a 'get 5% of your purchase points back' deal, which is basically points back for nothing. You do still have to be Gold to qualify for that, though.

   Popcap deals this week, by the way. Starting from tomorrow.

   Yeah, Minerva's Den is what I was waiting for. I wanted it on the PC but the PC version of Bioshock 2 got utterly broken in the latest patch so I just ended up abandoning that and buying the 360 version. But it's been on sale a few times and I can wait it out if need be.
