Gears 3 and various Zombie titles on offer this week

Written by Dat Boi Treezy on 17 July 12 at 19:52

This week sees the discounts of one Add-on, and two XBLA games. Zombies are the theme this week for the Scratch & Match section of the Sales & Specials+. The Chain Reaction remains the same Gears of War 3 Add-ons and DLC as last week.

Scratch & Match

The Sacrifice in Left 4 Dead 2 - 560 MSP 400 MSP
Zombie Apocalypse - 800 MSP 560 MSP
All Zombies Must Die! - 800 MSP 560 MSP

Chain Reaction

Kyrll Shield (Avatar Item) - 400 MSP 320 MSP
Horde Command Pack in Gears of War 3 - 800 MSP 640 MSP
RAAM's Shadow in Gears of War 3 - 1200 MSP 960 MSP
Lancer Skins Launch Collection - 1200 MSP 600 MSP

Gears of War 3 has been dominating the Chain Reaction and it's still unknown how long the game will remain the deal for this area.

The offers on the Sales & Specials+ are available for Gold and Silver members from the UK and the US.

All Zombies Must Die for me 560 is kind of a strange price though good things I still have some extra 160 point codes.

do you have to win on scratch and match before you can take advantage of their offers?

Will these prices work through xbox.com or just the console? Right now the link on xbox.com does not have the reduced prices.

The numbers are nice and "clean" once you "un-microsoft" them...just forget the formula when you look at your purchases on the console...good thing my wife doesn't know the conversion rate!

It's been gears 3 on chain reaction since they bought the app out.

Been waiting forever for a discount on the sacrifice. It's only 160 points off and only on l4d2 but I'll take it! Sales app FTW
