*Arbitary but ever so slightly cynical statement about how this weeks deal sucks*
*Response stating will buy DLC as does not have it*
*Slightly grouchy response about how did not need to know this*

In all due honesty though considering the complaints this gamje got about half of it buying DLC. I'm going to assume this isn't a bad deal.
Sadly I don't have it. Now how about some FFX-2 being on a deal :)

I've been waiting for these since they came out, I didn't see the value in the season pass.

It's going to be like getting a new game tonight! Exciting!

@HM, this is a good deal actually as the game is loads of fun. Granted I felt a bit slighted having bought the season pass, but such is life. While the DLC's aren't that long, they do add a lot of cool new "toys" to your arsenal. That alone was worth it. Plus the new cars, homies, and other whatnots you can get.

The only thing that perplexes me is why it's on sale again so soon when I'm fairly certain this exact DLC was on sale either last week or the week prior.

Ive also been waiting, I would have honestly thought if they are going to do some sort of complete edition for SR3 it would of at least been announced by now, so the chances are that there will not be one.

The Ju1ce said:isn't The Missing Link (Deus Ex) supposed to be half off this week? must not be a Deal of the Week sale though..I read that somewhere as well, it escapes me where though. That DLC is great, but too short (even with replaying for achieves) to warrant 1200 MSP. Now 600, is totally worth it IMO.

here's the chance for all the cry babies who complain about expensive DLCs to pick this up. Don't complain if you missed out.

I got the game for christmas, haven't gotten around to playing it so I passed on the season pass, looks like I'll pick this up now so it will be waiting for me...haunting me...just like when i got SR2 DLC on sale forever ago and still haven't played though that one facepalm


MrMadeYouLook said:I'm done buying season passes!! I paid $19.99 for all this DLC and haven't finished all of it yet! And now each piece of DLC is on sale for $3.50 a piece ugh I'm pissed. lolSaints Row: The Third Season Pass includes the listed game content at a discounted rate over individual purchases. If you own this Season Pass all content should be accessed through the in-game store AND NOT DOWNLOADED from Xbox LIVE Marketplace or you will be charged twice. Nyte Blayde Pack, Genkibowl VII, Gangstas in Space, The Trouble With Clones. Saints Row: The Third game required; sold separately.
technically you still made out OK, as long as the actual pass doesn't go on sale, because you still got the nyteblade pack and stuff right?

Nyte Blayde Pack 240 MSP
Genkibowl VII 280 MSP
Gangstas in Space 280 MSP
The Trouble With Clones 280 MSP
total = 1080 MSP

nvm you really got screwed, season passes are only worth it if you can't or don't want to wait to play the extra content. even though I was upset when the gears pass went on sale I at least got to play all the stuff when it came out with my friends, now they have moved on so most of it I don't play anymore.

morale of the story if you can wait it will always (usually) be worth it $ wise

I thought Missing Link was next week.

As for this, I'm super excited. I just beat the game Sunday night and was really wanting to play the DLC last night, but one day was a short wait for half off.
