Back to School Deal of the Day: September 8th

Back to School Deal of the Day: September 8th

50% off Gears of War 3 Season Pass

Written by punkyliar on 08 September 12 at 10:51

Most people hate going back to school after the long summer break, so Microsoft decided to hold a massive Back to School sale on Xbox LIVE content starting last Tuesday. As well as the long list of XBLA games, DLC and avatar gear that is on sale for the duration of the week, Microsoft are also holding daily sales on some of the Season Passes for select games. Unfortunately we missed some of them, but thanks to the many members of the community who brought these daily sales to our attention, we'll be covering them for the last three days.

Today's deal sees the Season pass for Gears of War 3 reduced to half price:

"Gears of War 3 Season Pass" - 2400 MSP 1200 MSP

Are you ready for even more Gears of War 3 content? The Gears 3 Season Pass is your ticket to brand new Campaign, Horde, Beast, and multiplayer content, including new playable characters. The Season Pass serves as your pre-order (at a 33% discount!) of four downloadable content packages that you will receive every quarter, starting in November. Season Pass purchasers also immediately receive the exclusive Liquid Metal animated weapon skin to show you’re ready for all the good things to come!If you're quick, you will also be able to make use of yesterday's deal, which was a half price reduction on the season pass for Forza Motorsport 4. Down from 2400 MSP to just 1200 MSP, the price on this has yet to be changed back.

Is this a daily thing for a while? As it's pretty cool.

DOTW is great and all but the possibility of a new arcade game going cheap every day is awesome! Let's hope they keep it going for at least a week, eh?

is the DLC worth it for casual players?

If there's a lot of content for half price then I don't want to skip out on it, but I'm not really a good fan of shooters, it's just a casual pick it up, 30-60 minutes of play, put down for me

My only complaint with wireless controllers is that there's nothing to slow em down when I throw em.

It is only half price today, back to full price tommorow. For 2 map packs, a 3 hour campain add on, horde mode extras and a weapon skin it is worth it.
