This Week and Next Week on Xbox Live

Richard Walker

There's a bunch of new stuff heading to the Xbox Live Marketplace soon, including the release of Ron Gilbert's latest adventure opus, The Cave. There's also Borderlands 2's Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt coming soon, once Gearbox has sorted out those annoying compatibility pack issues.

Elsewhere, you'll find deals on selected Sleeping Dogs DLC, including Nightmare in North Point for a measly 280 Microsoft Points. The following week, there's discounts on Rockstar content, including Max Payne 3 add-ons and Red Dead Redemption DLC.

There's Kinect deals too, as well as a range of titles coming to Games on Demand. And that's your lot for now. Check it all out below.

  • Sweet. I got Sleeping Dogs for christmas, I'll definitely be looking at buying that DLC.
  • Best deals so far was the walking dead, cmon microsoft we want more deals like that
  • Might have to pick up some Sleeping Dogs DLC.
  • I heard the Nightmare in North Point Pack was too short to be a good value. Can anyone who's played it recommend it at this price?
  • Wow. I am getting some of this Sleeping Dogs DLC. It was already decently priced and not I am totally going to snap it up! -Skid Row Trash @SkidRowTrash
  • Finally got around to playing Sleeping Dogs and am loving it so will definitely be investing in the discounted DLC. @5 Wait! What's your gamertag!?
  • Nightmare in North Point was short, fun and weird supplement to the game. Note that it takes place outside the main storyline, so you don't really add anything to your development of Wei. That said, you DO get to find out how the characters you killed in the main storyline fare after you off them. At 280 MSP I think it is worth it, for that reason and for the achievements.
  • @7, thanks. I'll give a try.
  • Nice Max Payne sale! If only they would release that co-op DLC!!!
  • Are they really doing another Rockstar sale? And RDR? I love them, and that game, but my god. New year ringing in with old-ass deals (2K Sales and Rockstar sales). Oh well. Looks like nothing for me, since I don't have BL2 and I don't spend $15 on digital goods anymore. Definitely downloading the demo for The Cave, though.
  • sweet! i'm almost thru with sleeping dogs, was gonna put it back on the shelf til its DLC went DoTW. guess i'll leave it in the drive now!
  • Wow it's been, what, 4 whole months since the last Red Dead DLC sale? I was getting concerned.
  • @12 It was on sale less than what, twenty days ago? (No sarcasm.)
  • So no new XBLA games for the first 2 weeks of 2013...at least The Cave is out next week to make amends!
  • @9: I know right? Feels like I've been waiting forever. Hopefully this is a sign it's coming soon.
  • The Cave will come out next week, what is the live Arcade of THIS week? We don't wanna do a second week without anything, right? RIGHT? because last week was without games for Windows Phone too (for WP7.5 users) and I am A LITTLE disappointed
  • Sweet been waiting for that Sleeping Dogs DLC to go on sale, I can get it and add to it the mammoth backlog of games/DLC I have at the moment!
  • I always wonder "How much demand is there for that?" when I see stuff like Spider-Man 3 hit Games on Demand.
  • Yes was going to get sleeping dogs dlc last week. Thank god I waited
  • They call that a deal? I got Sleeping Dogs and most of the dlc for $8.54 US a couple weeks ago, PC version. Aside from that I already have everything on the list that I want or need.
  • I did not see Nightmare in North Point in the sales part but went to all items and sure it was 560 not 280 and 800 is the full price so either way it isn't 50% off. DLC: Nightmare in North Point Cost: 800 MSP Achievements: 5 Points: 125. I think it's a 280 point saving?
  • What's this? Even more Spider-Man on GoD? I'm sold!
  • Rocksmith also added today the "90's hits" dlc. Including: Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson, No Rain by Blind Melon & Alive by Pearl jam
  • Ah just checked again and is now 280 (AUS marketplace) thought it was always 800 as it is listed on the achievement list!
  • You would think after two and a half years, everybody would own RDR and everything that it as to offer, so why would they keep putting it on sale?
  • and what do u know, more shitty "deals"
  • Is the AC3 season pass going to be on sale?
  • Red dead redemption reductions. Never seen those before
  • I'm glad RDR reductions are back. Been waiting to get that DLC cheap.
  • Fuck yes! Been waiting on Max Payne season pass.
  • Also, you missed the Forza Horizon Honda DLC that came out for free today.
  • The cave's top of my list. Now i need to sort my router out so i can get internet access back again!
  • First time i see the Max Payne Season Pass on sale. That's bought for me.
  • im sure rockstar just had a sale about 2-3 weeks ago. I want to see the battlefield 3 dlc's on sale
  • Finally the Max Payne DLC will be on sale. I've been waiting for it forever.
  • Almost bought the Sleeping Dogs DLC as soon as I got the 1000 but instead moved on to another game, glad I did! Buying that for sure.
  • Yay...RDR for the 80th time...
  • I got the Sleeping Dogs Nightmare at North Point DLC like two weeks ago :(
  • Well, if it would make R* actually pay attention to the game and police their damn servers to remove the blatant cheating, I'd re-purchase all of the RDR stuff.
  • Form an orderly line people the door is that way thank you
  • You've got to be kidding. This Rockstar sale is getting stupid now. Red Dead was on sale over the holidays and probably the deal of the week twenty times or more last year alone.
  • I was hoping for the Zodiac Tournament to be on sale for Sleeping Dogs. I heard its not too good but dammit I want more Sleeping Dogs!
  • Sweet, just picked up Sleeping Dogs on Ebay for $25 so those DLC deals are a steal! :)
  • Going to grab the Max Payne season pass. I will always wait for the season passes to go on sale.
  • Look forward how well reviews for websites next week for The Cave before I decide buy it and play it. Also will try out trials to see myself before buy too. I really hope Square Enix release 3rd story-drive DLC for Sleeping Dogs with new achievements upcoming soon. 2nd story-drive DLC for Sleeping Dogs don't had achievements so I do hope 3rd one do.
  • Paintball, paintball never changes.
  • The Cave, you shall be mine!
  • BRING ON THE WALL!!!! I wouldn't even play this game for FREE so 200msp is still 200msp too much. There is a reason that the most anyone has on the leaderboard is 70g haha
  • R* are going to get the shithead award for MP3. You sell the pass for 50% off when you didnt even gave the original rockstar pass owners what they paid for 6 months ago? Thats more then a joke.
  • Damn I saw R* had some sales but was hoping it was on L.A. Noire
  • Thanks for this! I've just bought the Sleeping Dogs DLC, and I've got the points ready for the Max Payne 3 stuff. IIRC, the final DLC will be free? If so, I'll just buy the Hostage and Painful Memories packs, and save the 400 on the Season Pass.
  • no the final dlc will be online free for season pass holders. It'll drop 22nd
  • Haven't played RDR for ages and never picked up the full pack. Glad I waited now.
