You are not suffering from déjà vu

Also discounted in case you missed them in July, September and again in November are the game's two DLC packs.

Apologies for the late posting, although Major Nelson's blog reported this week's Deal of the Week over a week ago, Xbox.com and the dashboard haven't been as quick as usual to update.

Deal of the Week is only available to Xbox LIVE Gold members.

I can get this for $10 on Amazon. These games on the marketplace are such rip offs.

These have been on sale so often, one wonders why they haven't just permanently lowered the price.

Yeah I feel bad for anyone who got them at full price. At least the ones who got it before the first round of sales.

Incredible.

Though it has inspired me to load up the DLC and finally finish 'em!

I have this feeling of déjà vu.
Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Live like it's heaven on earth.

Episodes From Liberty City (i.e. the GTA:IV DLC on one disc) costs £12.85 from Zavvi.com, which is apparently the cheapest place to get it in the UK at the moment according to a quick Google search.
1200 MSP, based on 4200MSP @ £34 from most online retailers, puts the price at ~£9.71, which is clearly cheaper... so it's not that bad of a sale, really.

I have the game but not the DLC... but then I also haven't touched the game in 2 years, so I'm not sure it's worth getting. :/
