Damn I've been waiting for Lonesome Road and Old World Blues to go on sale but I only have 300 points on my account. Sure they'll be on sale again at some point though.

Although this is tempting, I still think it might be better to wait for the edition of New Vegas with all the DLC on it, probably more value for money! Decent deals though.

Decent deals though.Your right there. Once this is released, give it another month and I bet it will drop in price and you'll be able to pick it all up for a bargain price! That's what I did with 'Fallout 3'! smile

Well I'lol be getting the last 2 dlc for fallout: NV.

I really should go back and play it since I barely have played it even though I will now have all the mission DLC. :/

EDIT: With the above rumored list. I don't think that they would add the season pass to both gears and forza since all the dlc hasn't been released yet.

I think that list has to be fake, or at least some of it (Gears/Forza season pass). They haven't even finished giving out all of the DLC, so why would they reduce the pass even more? LA Noire season pass didn't go on sale until it was all released. Could be wrong though :/
Plus, it would annoy everyone and would mean that people would just wait until the season passes go on sale in the future rather than getting them on release.

Now if they do a decent offer on the Gears 3 season pass I might just well be tempted...

I really hope that "Rumored XBLA deals" list is all wrong.
Hoping for more actual games, hard to know if an entire game is good from just a trial so rather get the core cheaper and then pay more for the rest.

Wouldn't say no to sf3: third strike tho.

Well, the list is right for today. By the way, half of the stuff on this list never had a price reduction.

Why is the 23rd missing?

The 23rd is currently unknown according to these rumoured sources. To respond to a couple of comments above yours: until the list is confirmed, we're not putting it in a news post.

I also hope that some of this is incorrect. Red Dead Redemption DLC went on sale at this time last year, and has been on sale many times before; so has the Halo Reach add-ons and Sonic games. The discounted COD add-ons would only be new if they discounted the Black Ops map packs.

The Fallout DLC packs will definatley be good for people who have already bought some of it previously and as such don't want to purchase it again on disc. I bought all the NV content on release so probably won't bother with that on disc and I rented the F3 content son I probably will just buy the GotY edition for that.
