The specials are absolutly insane. Some things are 80% off.

Does anyone know if there are achievements for Halo and San Andreas?

[OliverKO]

No, they don't have Achievements, unfortunately. ;(

[DirtyLary]

sad when a silly number next to your name dictates playing a game or not.

[Yi-Long]

... and just a heads-up, but the IloMilo trial is available.

I've played it, and it's absolutely great!!!

You need to go to the IloMilo website for a code to download the trial.

I agree with Yi-Long, Trails HD is an amazing arcade game, and for a price that low, you would have to be stupid not to buy it lol.

I just grabbed "Splosion Man after reading the article. Heard it was a great game and ONLY 160 MP?! SOLD!!

Anyone know why San Andreas, the most awesome PS2 game I've ever played, isn't on PSN?

[zootang]

Personally not too sure but I too would like to know? Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake eater is my all time favourite PS2 game.

[come_at_me_bro]

Because Microsoft has a service that allows you to download backwards compatible Xbox games and Sony doesn't offer PS2 downloads (yet). It isn't a remastered version of the game or anything, it's essentially treated like a rip of the game on your hard drive. I'm sure it'll be on PSN some day.

Indeed! I picked up Portal:SA a couple days ago (when if first went on sale,) and I've been waiting on San Andreas to go on sale (so I just now started downloading it!)

$10 for two amazing games? I say hell yeah!

Also, managed to get that Age of Empire III deal (the one for $.10,) and I ordered Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition for $10 a couple days ago on Amazon.com. So in the past week, I've managed to get 4 full games for only $20.10. I also picked up Prince of Persia HD on PSN (and still have $10 in my PSN wallet that I'm not sure what to get with, though I'm leaning towards FFVII, VIII or IX for my PSP.)

Great time to buy some games!

[marioPSUC]

Picked up Trials HD for 400MSP, definitely worth $5, and I picked up San Andreas for $5, you cannot beat those deals on xbl.

[OliverKO]

Definitely not! ;)

PS. That avatar is awesome!

[Xander756]

Probably gonna go ahead and pick up Mega Man 10.

[polow got sol]

Count me in for turtles in time.

[tompoulo]

I just bought Trials HD and Splosion Man!!!! 560 microsoft points for both... Great deal!!!

[Dorwrath]

Just bought Splosion Man(160MSP), Trials HD(400MSP) and Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge (400MSP)

[Pehdahosman]

I never Knew that Ms could give out all these great deals

[T9X69]

Not going to lie, it surprised me as well lol. MS usually has some really good deals for deal of the week if the actual content interest you, but nothing this good.

[Pehdahosman]

They should of basically just went to every current xbox live member and leave these games on their doorstep and left .

[jashmister]

oh god Microsoft giving these deals to the whole world except doing their usual limiting it to america? that's awesome! splosion man already bought!

[Pehdahosman]

your right dude thanks MS

[Kran]

The Halo deal was a dream! Bought it for 400MSP :D

I now own all the Halo Games.

Halo: Combat Evolved - Original Xbox via Xbox 360
Halo 2 - PC Version
Halo 3 - Xbox 360
Halo: ODST - Xbox 360
Halo: Reach - Xbox 360

Oh wait. I havent got Halo Wars. Not sure if I want to though :/

[m23]

I have all the Halo games except Halo PC. I bought Halo Wars a while ago, but I'm not an RTS guy, I played the first couple missions then just stopped. It might be a good game, just not my type.

[BLAKHOODe]

I picked up 'Splosion Man and Trials HD and it's DLC with the 800 Microsoft Points I was credited for spending so many points last month during that promotion. So, it's like I got everything FREE! :)

[m23]

I just bought splosion man, heard its really good.
