50% off Section 8: Prejudice (PC)

We apologise for the late showing of this week's Games for Windows LIVE Deal of the Week, as we've been extremely busy with Comic-Con. Luckily, you still have until July 27th to make use of the deal.

Section 8: Prejudice (GFWL) - ~~$14.99 / £9.99~~ - $7.49 / £4.99
On the battlefield, prejudice takes many forms, knows no boundaries, and drives all conflict. In the distant future, humanity will call on its most fearless defenders to confront an emerging threat determined to eradicate human life as we know it. Section 8®: Prejudice™ is a sci-fi first person shooter with dynamic combat, where every decision drastically impacts the battlefield. Discover the sinister series of betrayals that threaten humanity’s survival in the 5 hour single-player campaign, battle up to 40 players as you complete various Dynamic Combat Missions in Conquest, compete online with up to four players in the all new Swarm co-op mode, and unlock a devastating arsenal of over 60 weapons, equipment, and upgrade variants.

As the game is LIVE enabled, it does indeed carry achievements.

No Viper credit?
I suppose this was just the deal and not really about the game itself though, so makes sense. xD

Still, awesome to see it on deal, might pick it up!

I've said this before and I'll say it again - no suggestion means no credit. Just because Viper owns the game, it doesn't entitle him to automatic credit.

Why would you want to only be able to get 300G when you could get 1250G?

I can assure you that Spilner was well aware of what the Suggest News function said in the blurb above the box. However, the Games for Windows LIVE Deal of the Week is not an article that we run on a regular basis any more, due to the fact that most of them aren't achievement enabled and had very little community interest. When it becomes obvious that we've overlooked a deal like this one, we'd rather have a community suggestion then have members complain that we didn't cover it, hence the credit.

So people will play PC games, have PC's good enough to run them, but refuse to play them if they don't have achievements... Uggh.

You should at least post every single one with achievements then.

Sweet deal! Will be picking this up! Enjoyed the 1st section 8 on both pc and 360. Hell I will even get the dlc as well because of this discounted price!

I've considered it many times this week, and yet have decided against it.
Why? Simply 'cause I'm just not someone who plays competitively often enough for this to warrant a purchase. Nothing against the game at all.

cool i'll buy it on tuesday when i get paid, cheers spilner & punkyliar

got the first one still to start too, had that for a while, cant even remember if i installed it yet

to the guy who wanted the XBLA version (because 360 DOTW is repeated cack) that version is only 200g, not 1000 like the pc version ;)

@punkyliar
i don't think it was you guys being slow with this article, i've been checking the GFWL DOTW site since monday, it still said batman arkham asylum on thursday

pre-emptive edit~
(hmm appears to be a problem with my bookmark, it still says batman, my xbla & wp7 BM's work fine, very odd)
