Their holiday sale had 2 month old games on for 15 bux, shipped. Some were some good games - unfortunately I found out about it too late - there were a few I would have bought. |

That was not an Xbox live sale. The Black Friday Xbox live sale was so bad that Major Nelson got bombarded with complaints and had to promise to go tell the marketing department. http://majornelson.com/2011/11/25/xbox-live-black-friday-sales/ |

Sure... and some of the prices during the XBL holiday sale were pretty good. Picked up a few things. It's not as good as it could be ... frankly, I'd like them to balance points against USD value. Canadians get screwed almost as bad as the Aussies.
It was no Steam sale, but there were a few things I enjoyed (got the Trials thing for my kid - he LOVES the monster truck game on steam)
The Walking Dead Arcade Game 28-Dec
8-bit Cartridge Game Addon 26-Dec
Trials HD Arcade Game 24-Dec
Rock Band 3 Game 24-Dec
Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain Game Addon 24-Dec
Trials Evolution Arcade Game 24-Dec
It Came From Outer Space Game Addon 21-Dec
Sugar, Spice and Not So Nice Game Addon 21-Dec
SONIC 4 Episode II Arcade Game 20-Dec
RAW Arcade Game 20-Dec
Jet Set Radio Arcade Game 20-Dec
Mark of the Ninja Arcade Game 20-Dec

If you want to use points for purchase, you might want to wait. They're having a problem with overcharging points. From Major Nelson: Update: There is currently a system issue regarding MS Points showing the incorrect price. The team is working on it. So if you want to purchase via points, you should hold off for a bit. |

El Shaddai is a no-brainer for me - was considering it when it was full price. Hell, I think Bullwinkle even liked it.  Onto today's deals:Resident Evil Code Veronica $19.99 $4.99 $15.00 75%
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City $39.99 $19.99 $20.00 50%
Resident Evil 4 $19.99 $9.99 $10.00 50%
Resident Evil 5 $19.99 $9.99 $10.00 50%
Resident Evil 6 $39.99 $19.99 $20.00 50%

Wait, don't I like most games?
Actually it was Azura's Wrath that I really liked.
El Shaddai was interesting, but it never fully clicked with me.

If RDR was cheaper I'd consider it - also if it included the Zombie DLC.

Just about to post it. Here's a pretty table instead: | Day | Game Title | Discount% | Sale price | | 7 | Mortal Kombat | 60 % | $ 19.99 | | 7 | Mortal Kombat vs. DCU | 75 % | $ 4.99 | | 7 | Street Fighter IV | 50 % | $ 9.99 | | 7 | Street Fighter X Tekken | 50 % | $ 19.99 | | 7 | Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition | 67 % | $ 9.99 | | 7 | Tekken 6 | 50 % | $ 9.99 | | 7 | Tekken Tag Tournament 2 | 60 % | $ 19.99 | | 7 | The King of Fighters XIII | 67 % | $ 9.99 |
It's also been updated above. Not like these sales (other than a few "every day" ones) are worth it. |

On an unrelated note - why the #@#% do retail play the whole .99 game? Who are they fooling?
.99 may be "friendlier" looking than harsh numbers, but it comes across as deceitful.
