Cheaper buying it now at 1000 points basically saving 600 msp or 200 msp off each pack.

Chaos The One said:Can someone please tell me that the Undead Nightmare Map Pack is cheaper this way or buying it from the store thanksThe Undead Nightmare Collection for 1000 points would be about $12.50 American. I'm in Canada and I see it in stores for more than that. Can't say about where you are, but I would say this deal is most likely cheaper than the store.
wait.....what am I signing here?

@ Chaos The One

It's cheaper to download the undead nightmare for 1000 ms points cause the disk in stores is between $19.99 & $29.99.

Man when is the Mass Effect 2 add-ons going to be on sale. I thought since we voted for what deal we want a few weeks ago, it would mean that it comes out sometime soon.

This DLC downloaded on your hard drive taking up well over a gig of space requires the original game. So yes, this is cheaper than buying the disc, but that is why the disc sells for more... because it has a stand-alone map programmed inside.

Either way, I would much rather see The Sacrifice for L4D1 as it is the only one I do not have yet :P

This is actually the third time that The Passing has been on sale, and the second time since The Sacrifice's release that we've had a zombie-themed Deal of the Week that didn't feature The Sacrifice.
