A random bunch this week

Deal of the Week's quite often have a theme that ties all of the included content together, be it games from a certain developer, DLC from a collection of titles or even content based on gameplay mechanics - this week however I'm really struggling to see how these are all connected.

The DLC on offer has been available during multiple sales in the past where as the single XBLA entry, SEGA Bass Fishing, is making it's first appearance.

XBLA:

SEGA Bass Fishing - 800 MSP 400 MSP

DLC:

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution in Borderlands - 800 MSP 400 MSP
The Secret Armory of General Knoxx in Borderlands - 800 MSP 400 MSP
Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot in Borderlands - 800 MSP 400 MSP
The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned in Borderlands - 800 MSP 400 MSP
The Undead Nightmare Collection* in Red Dead Redemption - 1600 MSP 800 MSP

*Includes all of the following DLC packs.
Legends and Killers Pack in Red Dead Redemption
Liars and Cheats Pack in Red Dead Redemption
Undead Nightmare Pack in Red Dead Redemption

Damnit, that means Halo packs are coming soon enough. Just bought the Wars DLC so who wants to put money on as soon as I buy the Marathon packs all of it goes on sale?

lol, you can probably buy the game of the year edition of those games for less than the collective cost of the 'Reduced' DLC.
I sold my Game of the Year Borderlands last week on Ebay, maybe there are more copies on there if you want to save yourself some cash...
