Hole in the Wall, Haunt and Leedmees have all been on sale at some point before because i own them. Not sure about Fruit Ninja since i got that one on the DL card.

Will be grabbing all the rest. Great to see a worthwhile deal for the first time in what feels like ages!

I think I'll finally pick up Fruit Ninja Kinect. (As long as my 4000 MS Points card from Target arrives before the sale is over.)

Hooray for XBLA deals!!! I'll be getting Happy Action Theater since I got the other titles when they were sale before. Anything DoubleFine is good enough for me.

There is also a Microsoft Studios publisher sale starting today as well. But so far I have no idea which games are on sale.
