And the winner is

You may recall that last month, Microsoft announced that a future Deal of the Week would be put to the vote. Unfortunately at the time, there was no news on what date the vote would be closed, or when the winning game's DLC would be discounted.

Well, today is the day, with this week's Deal of the Week featuring 50% discounts on Mass Effect 2 DLC.

DLC:
Arrival in Mass Effect 2 - 560 MSP 280 MSP
Lair of the Shadow Broker in Mass Effect 2 - 800 MSP 400 MSP
Kasumi's Stolen Memory in Mass Effect 2 - 560 MSP 280 MSP

As always, Deal of the Week is only availble to Gold subscribers.

Finally I get to pick up The Arrival on the cheap. Last piece of ME2 DLC I needed.

Doesn't solve the problem of me having to replay the game on insanity though....

Nice pricing for these, but I'd really like to see some of the dozen or so arcade games that I want make it to deal of the week.

some great content in there for those that haven't played it, shadow broker probably being the pick of the bunch.

As for the DLC, those are some pretty good prices as Lefty said but I kind of feel bad considering I told a friend I didn't think they were going on sale any time soon. Whoops. facepalm
You seem a little furious...

Anyone who doesn't have this content should buy it. Kasumi and Shadiw Broker are great are not terribly short. Arrival was terribly meh.
Posted on 26 July 11 at 15:15
I voted for this, then just recently deleted both ME 2 discs off my hard drive.

Forgot all about this, only need the Arrival DLC.

Nice I was waiting for a deal on Arrival before finishing my second game. I bought Shadow Broker months ago, but I didn't do it yet. I guess I'll spend the week on Bioware games, with this and the new Dragon Age II DLC.

This will help me to reach my goal of 100,000 gamerscore with 5000 achievements in 200 games, I might reach it this week! smile

Woohoo Arrival for cheap. I got LotSB cheap back in December too, but paid full price for Kasumi. Oh well, great (and funny) squad member for the whole game as well as one of the best SMGs for Sentinels and Infiltrators (two best classes).

I wish they'd make it so the Cerberus Network isn't so incredibly overpriced. Although Gamestop is paying extra for trade-ins till the 31st.....maybe I can only pay a little extra for a new copy.

In my region (Hungary) the DotW is Spare Parts. The cause of the difference I guess that none of these DLCs are available on the Hungarian marketplace, which is sucks anyway. (Yes, I got them with a secondary UK account, but still...)

Its a bit lame when they discount DLC instead of actual games, but anything is better than nothing. I suppose.
