The armor and weapon bundle is down from 400 to 200. Not 800 to 400. :)

I will get both dlc packs (even though I only played the game for a few hours).

Skate 3 DLC not showing as discounted for me in US, but will be getting the KoA DLC for sure.

edit: I'm not seeing it listed on xbldb price changes or in major nelson's announcement.

Damn. I bought the KoA DLC a while back when the studio went under on the small chance that it would be randomly delisted. Kinda wish I had waited now, since I haven't started either DLC pack.

Ok, I'm gonna be hte only one mentioning it, apparantly. Bejeweled 3 is DEFINITELY worth 600 MSP. Quite a few enjoyable game modes, and the acheivements are MUCH quicker than Bejeweled 2! There's still a little bit of a grind for one of the achievements, but apart from that, very easy, and very enjoyable! Highly recommended at the 600 MSP price point.

And it looks like I'll be starting KoA: Reckoning this week. Pretty awesome that I'll have the game and all the DLC for around $20 only 6 months after release!

*For those who don't follow litepink's blogs or visit CAG, you can get Reckoning from Best Buy for $10 with a $30 off coupon in their @Gamer magazine. If you are not a subscriber, you can pick up the mag for $5.

I really enjoyed KoA and the DLC was well worth the full price, so at 50% off it's a steal. Nice surprise "good deal" DOTW in the middle of Summer of Arcade, even it isn't something I need.
Killer Punks...all that needs to be said.
