US Only Xbox Live Marketplace Discounts Coming For Black Friday

Richard Walker

If you're a US resident, then this week's Deal of the Week update was barely even half the story, as Microsoft is also holding a massive sale for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Starting today, there will be different offers occuring each day for the remainder of the week, including discounts on Xbox Live Arcade games, Xbox Originals, Zune Movies and more.

Halo: Combat Evolved and GTA: San Andreas are a snip at a mere 400 Microsoft Points, whereas 'Splosion Man is ludicrously cheap at 160 Points as is Trials HD for 400. Bargains aplenty then, and there's more where that came from as MS has also marked Halo: Reach and Fable III down in price at participating retailers.

Keep your eye on the Xbox Live Marketplace all of this week and check out the full US-exclusive list of discounted content below, courtesy of Shack News:

Xbox Live Arcade

  • Madden NFL Arcade (400MSP)
  • Portal: Still Alive (400MSP)
  • The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (400MSP)
  • 'Splosion Man (160MSP)
  • Trials HD (400MSP)
Xbox Originals
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (400MSP)
  • Halo: Combat Evolved (400MSP)
Zune Movies
  • 300 (380MSP)
  • Cats and Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (720MSP)
  • Clash of the Titans (720MSP)
  • Sex and the City 2 (720MSP)
Retail Sales
  • Fable 3 ($39.99 or less at participating retailers)
  • Halo: Reach ($39.99 or less at participating retailers)

  • Wow. Different deals each day huh? Sounds like I'm going to need to get more points.
  • Wow 160msp for splosion man ! Too bad I already have it, damn at THAT price I could even consider buying it again !

  • US only....Fawk this and M$
  • @2 & 7 check your dashboard! the UK actually have more deals than this. As aforementioned by 6. learn to read!
  • lucky yanks!
  • @6 sageman, where did you find that information? Link please and when do those reduced prices come online?
  • Man Europe gets Splinter Cell DLC! Ah well, San Andreas and Portal for me!
  • It looks like Canada is getting the same deals as the UK.
  • @10 from my Dashboard. Yes we have more game deals but most of them are crap. I wanted GTA :(
  • :) Europe has the better list I think. Monkey Island 2 SE for 400 points, no brainer. Serious Sam for 600 points, not 800 as stated in the post above. Mega Man 10 for 400 :O No complaints this time :)
  • @11 haha yes Serious Sam is 600. I just copied the list from our forum, didn't check the prices ^^
  • Might get Monkey island 2 for 400 points, not bothered about the rest.
  • do those deals change daily and how long they are working?
  • you lucky lucky bestards.
  • @8 dude we posted on the same time :b Anyway cool to hear that the EU gets some of the deals too :D
  • @17 i think these deals will last between a few days and a week (but obviously not sure/ confirmed). I Wish the UK could get the XBOX ORIGINALS Halo and GTA at 400 MS - id so buy them for that price =D
  • The U.S deal is better simply because of Splosion Man being 160MSP, nothing on the Europe list really interests me tbh. Although the deals are nice, I really wish we would have got the Splosion man deal.
  • Oh ffs, I was thinking about getting Splosion Man as well! This has severely pissed me off :P
  • Not sure about the first game, but Serious Sam 2 HD is 600 Points all you UK peoples. Sogeman, you're a legend :)
  • Anything for Australia? I checked the dashboard, nothing on there...yet.
  • The deal is available worldwide. And all those games listed by #6 are also in the same promotion in US Live. More to come Friday.
  • I just got Portal, you can't say no to it for that price.
  • Any deals in Australia?
  • @24 I think Australia's is same as Europe cause i searched and both monkey islands, portal and splinter cell conviction dlc are 400 points like the European list
  • @25 Splosion Man is still 800 for me so I don't think the US deal is worldwide. Unless it just is stuffing up which I very much doubt.
  • San Andreas and halo only for 400 is great, and lucky for me i have a US gamertag set up already for things like this
  • Hmmm splosion man and portal....halo CE....not too shabby Still showing full price on my US account though.
  • At least theres nothing decent there to complain about not getting in the UK!
  • i wish i could get san andreas tho, loved that game
  • If only i could send points to my American account :( I definitely pick up GTA at 400 MSP, I don't like GTA a whole lot.
  • Microsoft can suck my black dick
  • I think I'm getting Halo and Trials HD then, perhaps GTA.
  • No Splosion Man for 160msp :( But good about Monkey Island 2: SE, goes well with no.1 :)
  • @8 yeah maybe get more deals but pretty much all crap, would happily download SA or Halo at 400 and 'Splosion Man (160MSP) would be awesome
  • Maybe more people will play Splosion Man online now *_* Still need to get the 2 MP Achievments.
  • Fucking hell! 160msp for 'splosion man, if i was in america, and didn't already have it, then i'd have NO excuse not to get it now. That's bonkers!
  • Awesome, i'll be picking up a bunch of these! Thank you Microsoft!
  • Is this all the deal throught the week (coz I got them all or at least all I want) or does it change daily??
  • This list isn't accurate, some of these aren't on sale, and many other games and DLC are on sale that aren't listed here.

  • Portal 400msp! FUCK YOU AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Why can't the UK get any of this!? Hell Still ALive at 600msp and id still want it!
  • I do not understand why Microsoft bring their shittybox to europe if they do not care about us, discount only for USA. Must be kiddin me, that is racisim!! UK gets discounts, US gets discounts, well Microsoft I am not renewing my Live and getting PS+ just because they give an equal service to all customers.
  • @46 - if you want it, make an US account and download it from there
  • These are today's deals available for both US and Europe so everyone stop f***ing hating on each other, it's tedious to read. Game Add-ons Splinter Cell: Conviction - "Deniable Ops Insurgency" 400 MSP Rock Band series - "Lady Gaga Pack 01" 280 MSP Rock Band series - "Nirvana Pack 01" 640 MSP Rock Band series - "Nirvana Pack 02" 240 MSP Alan Wake - "The Signal" 320 MSP Trials HD - "The Big Pack" 240 MSP Arcade Games The Secret of Monkey Island: SE 400 MSP Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge 400MSP Puzzle Quest 2 800 MSP Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter 600 MSP Zombie Apocalypse 400 MSP Portal: Still Alive 400 MSP Voodoo Dice 400 MSP Mega Man 10 400 MSP Magic: The Gathering 400 MSP Madden NFL Arcade 400 MSP
  • Splosion Man is a great game.. That's amazing for $2.. I was hoping for Monkey Island 2 in the US. Oh well, still good deals around the globe.
  • so...for the US only ones...would having a US account let you take advantage of these deals?
  • Holy assless chaps. 'Splosion Man for 160. Finally going to get this one!
  • well....these deals explain why they have yet to give us our 800 ms points that were promised us. Money grubbin bastards.
  • I don't see splosion man :( might come up later I guess
  • I just grabbed Monkey Island 2^^ Now I only have 11 games waiting in line for DoTW:-P Hope coming days will reduce that number. @#53 I got my 800ms over a week ago now...
  • God Fuckin Dammit as soon as Halo: CE is reduced to 400MSP it would only be for Americans, why cn't the UK or Europe get ny good deals for once?
  • @55 well that just pisses me off even more then...
  • HOLY FUCK 400 POINTS FOR PORTAL AND SAN ANDREAS!
  • damn. 160 for splosion man I want it but i im in UK
  • So I'm looking at the list on xbox.com and 'Splosion man is still 800 points...but I did download Monkey Island 2. What day is 'Splosion man on sale?
  • No 'Splosion Man discount yet in the US marketplace.
  • I'll get portal for that. Own all the rest of those games and dlc.
  • Splosion Man for 2 bucks! damn glad I wait for all this stuff to drop
  • Major Nelson is probably somewhere going ape-shit over these low LOW prices.
  • I don't see Splosion man up for that price yet. Is that one of the 80% off sales that Major Nelson spoke of in his tweet? He has posted a bigger list of items on sale right now.
  • By the way... San Andreas is still up for 1200MSP...way to get my hopes up, bogus article.
  • still don't have my 800 points either, although my brother got his well over a week ago, I wrote an email of complaint to customer services the day after he got his and received a reply the following day which guaranteed I would receive them within the next 4 weeks, still no sign of them yet though ...fucking M$ bastards, everyone entitled should've got the points simultaneously, don't these pricks know how to run a business or something, my brother has only had xbox for 4 months, I've been a loyal customer for 10 years, and I'm the one who got shafted, WTF!!!
  • lookin like just fable 3 for me lol i dont have room on my hdd for a lot more dlc anyway
  • finally sownloading portal now, missed it last time it was dotw. mabee serious sam 2 and madden arcade.mabee the nirvana track pacs and probally the big pack for trails hd. but im waiting for halo and gta san andreas on friday when they go on sale. and whatever else they wanna throw at me.
  • To everyone thats complaining: SHUT THE FUCK UP. Back on topic, I dont see Splosion Man for sale yet.
  • god, so many WHINY BITCHES. this is a great deal, just grabbed the splinter cell dlc and monkey island 2 for a total of 800 points. sweet!
  • Splosion Man is still overpriced by about $12. That's right, they should give you $10 when you buy it as an apology for that awful game.
  • So where can you get Halo: CE and GTA:SA for 400MP? they aren't showing up on the dashboard, in the marketplace, or on the website.
  • Sex and the City 2! I've been waiting for that to go on sale! lol
  • lol @ all the British and European people complaining. Would you like M$ to get rid of Thanksgiving as a US holiday as well?! stfu
  • So I'm on mah box, just downloaded Portal for cheap, but San Andreas is still $15...
  • Id buy Splosion man for 160. Damn Canada. pfft
  • Major Nelson posted about this. Splosion Man is -not- on the list he gave. I am pretty sure they are not selling it for $2 or whatever.
  • Unless I can somehow get some of the EU deals, the PSN will be getting my money this black Friday. What I want, I already have. Unless Trials HD is worth getting even though I already have Joe Danger. Anyone have an opinion on that?
  • Definitely getting Splosion Man, that's a great deal.
  • I am totally getting sex and the city 2. I want to see that movie sooooooo bad!
  • might just have to get me san andreas. best gta they ever made. only prob, i wish they did achievements for em
  • Dont know why but im getting the EU deals on my dashboard
  • @83 I think the US gets all the EU deals today and then we exclusively get the special deals on friday. (Like Halo: CE and GTA: SA)
  • I live in the US and none of this shows up for me instead I have the UK stuff listed. Can anyone help :(
  • I think that idiots that simply comment without reading any of the information should be banned from comments and made sterile.
  • Why are all you UK kids bitching? Black Friday/Thanksgiving are US holidays idiots.
  • btw i think poeple need to realise this is the list for friday.
  • You lucky lucky SoBs... San Andreas at 400msp!!!!!!!!!! GODDAMNIT
  • I really don't see why people are saying ' I don't see Splosion Man 160MP'' THAT deal is probably going to be on sale Friday when the main things are up. JUST wait and stop bitching, damn!
  • The list is wrong or the date is wrong. Splosion Man is 800 MS points and Trials HD is 1200 MS; I don't have time to go through the rest of the list. Better luck next time on the reporting. This week you get a F or FFFFAAAAIIILLLL!!
  • These are the deals for BLACK FRIDAY. As in on FRIDAY. Not Tuesday, not Wednesday, not Thursday. FRIDAY!
  • So the US and UK get Black Friday sales, why do I doubt that Canada will be getting any boxing day sales? Boxing day is the Canadian equivalent of black friday, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
  • Why doesn't this site correct/remove INCORRECT news stories? This shit isn't exclusive to the USA... I live in the US and Splosion man is full price...
  • Well, I'm in the UK (and have a UK account) and managed to get these deals anyway. Not sure what all the fuss is about. The Portal deal is still active.
