    Save 50% on the DiRT series

    We've been seeing a lot of the DiRT series lately, with DiRT Showdown being announced, as well as DiRT 3 recently being featured as the Best Buy deal of the day. This week you can purchase two different LIVE enabled PC games from the DiRT series for half off:

    DiRT 2 (GFWL) - $39.99/£34.99 $19.99/£17.49
    DiRT 3 (GFWL) - $49.99/£49.99 $24.99/£24.99

    You can download the titles here

    While we're on the subject of GFWL deals, we have a few others from outside the xbox.com marketplace to highlight. Two sales are from the site GamersGate [Thanks, fuzzyGURU], and one is from retailer Gamestop.

    GamersGate
    Dead Rising 2 (GFWL) - $29.95 $14.98
    Dead Rising 2: Off The Record (GFWL) - $39.99 $19.95

    Gamestop
    Batman: Arkham City (GFWL) $49.99 $29.99

    Typo in Thread Title, you put GWFL instead of GFWL.

    Thanks for the news, some of these are pretty good;

    Batman and Dead Rising 2: OFR are great, AND have great discounts.

    Gotta love GFWL, 2 lists of achievements for 2 different versions of the same game.
    If you read this, you're awesome, however if you tell me you read this, you're a fudgesickle.

    In further news, £24.99 DOES NOT EQUAL $24.99.
    from xe.com/ucc:
    24.99 US$ = 16.0893 GB£
    1 USD = 0.643831 GBP, 1 GBP = 1.55320 USD

    In even further news, £17.49 DOES NOT EQUAL $19.99
    19.99 US$ = 12.8711 GB£
    1 USD = 0.643831 GBP, 1 GBP = 1.55320 USD

    UK prices should be around £15.99 and £12.99 respectively. Or you can get the disk versions for cheaper...

    great deals glad to see some pc related articles. Batman should be a little cheaper IMHO since so many copies have been given away. It can be found free on overclock.net pretty easily. great deals none the less

    i'm getting sick of being fucked over by companies charging outrageous prices. The exchange rate is 1.55 yet £24.99 = $24.99.


    Disgusting.

    I saw the headline, and thought "yes! Time to get DiRT" but even half price they are more than some online retailers.

    Still expensive, dirt 2 on PC is £17 thats a joke, and to have a listed price of £50 initially for Dirt 3 is just a LOL price.

    Cheap dirt 2 link - http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=5024866341850
    Thats *offline* so the activation code to play it online will have already been used.

    Still getting that from the marketplace is going to be quite a bit cheaper

    Aside from the prices not being deals, I wouldn't be surprised if the extra £ vs $ is due to VAT.
    Life, it's funny that way.

    I would pick up DR2: Off the Record if my CPU was 300MHz faster...

    Dirt 2 at 19.99$ is not a discount, it's the regular sale price on Steam. Anyone thinking about either Dirt 2 or 3 should wait for 75% off deals during Steam Christmas sale.

    Batman is an ok deal if you missed the 25$ sales during Thanksgiving. Else, again, I'd suggest waiting for Steam sale, it will probably be around 20$ at that point.

    I got Dirt 2 for $3.96 on Direct2Drive last March. Now that was a good deal.

    If you're in the UK then probably not.
