Today's 'Countdown to 2011' Daily Deals Are...

Dan Webb
We all knew the Mass Effect 2 DLC price slash was incoming, but I'm not sure anyone expected price slashes of this magnitude. Not only does the decent Kasumi and Overlord DLC see a chop from 560 Microsoft Points to 200 points, but the excellent Shadow Broker DLC gets chopped from 800 MSP to 200 MSP. Yes, I said 200. In other words, it's almost a 3-for-1 kind of deal, so don't miss out on this excellent chance to extend the Mass Effect 2 experience if you haven't already. If you don't like Mass Effect... then why not dress your Avatar up like a copper for cheap today... No, really.

Today:

Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker - from 800 to 200 MSP
Mass Effect 2: Overlord - from 560 to 200 MSP
Mass Effect 2: Kasumi - from 560 to 200 MSP
GAMER - US only - 1360 to 960 MSP
Cool Jobs Policeman Uniform - from 240 to 120 MSP (male / female)

The rest of the promotion should shape up as follows:

December 29th:

Monday Night Combat
Semi-Pro
Plants vs. Zombies Mask

December 30th:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Sonic Adventure
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing Car
The Notebook

December 31st:

Limbo
Yoda Green Lightsaber
Kick-Ass

  • Glad i waited to download the shadow broker , had to look twice when i saw the discount
  • wow that's a great deal for Shadow Broker!!! DL that if you don't already have it. MORE than worth it.
  • absolute steal at 200 points, fingers crossed Microsoft are this generous with limbo!
  • Fuck. I bought all of them for full price. Nothing like feeling ripped off over and over again^^. If someone did not get it and loved ME then this is a must!
  • Oh on different note. What's been going on with news lately?? No update on sales wat's new and such?? Are you guys still curing hangover or sth?? I am surprised you're posting once a day at all!!^^
  • Sod that dead rising case west is on!!!!nowt I wNt now except limbo
  • The Scott Pilgrim Knives Chau DLC finally was released today as well :D
  • The price drops were already made around 11:30 PM last night (GMT -5:00). xD Noticed them while searching the various Game Add-On sections.
  • Holy crap those are good deals! Anybody who's thinking about picking them up... do it now. The content is pretty good. One coveate: GAMER. They should give points to people for having to see that movie.
  • Soon as I saw the prices, especially for Shadow Broker I didn't even hesitate and bought points straight away.
  • This is weak...I bought all the ME2 DLC a couple weeks ago...right before all of this was announced...
  • @#5 - It's the Christmas period, which means that publishers and the like go home for weeks, so pretty much everyone in the industry is off right now. We post what little news we have... and at the moment, there isn't much =P
  • If I catch any of my friends sporting a police uniform UK or US They wil be removed from my list, The Police ruin lives and thats a fact.
  • Wishing I HAD waited before paying full price on release date on ALL of those ME2 packs. At least they were worth it.
  • I've bought Shadow Broker, even though I don't actually own ME2 yet. It's on my list of things to get in the sales.
  • #1, samehere
  • #15, that wouldve probly been the best thing to do, saves some cash if you do get mass effect 2.
  • Mass Effect DLC downloading... Connection is screwed however so offline games for 5-6 hours should do the trick.
  • what a great deal, i got overlord and katsumi for 400 back in october. Just bought the shadow broker now. AMAZAZING.
  • just picked up all 3 and im glad i waited!! i've got just over 500 points left. hopefully i'll be able to get limbo with that
  • This is why it is smart to wait for a discount on DLC. I will enjoy these all the more at these prices. Especially Shadow Broker - i'm really surprised at Microsoft good will with these discounts.
  • Question for someone! Ok, say I'm playing ME:2 and aiming for 100% achievements. Do the DLC show up always? Or is there a chance I don't need to buy them all to get 1000/1000 for this one game? Thanks!
  • @#12 Oh, I forgot that everyone actually has some time off on during end of year unlike US. Fucked will grinds you till you're dead. I bet that we would have to work on Christmas day if employers had any say about that!!! Fucking never ending money machine:-]
  • Amazing. So excited for the LIMBO discount too. I bought all these the minute they were released but this is such a fantastic deal, shucks.
  • #13 one word - arsehole
  • Can't go wrong with today's discounts!
  • I really liked ME2, but after beating it I didn't feel like revisiting the game. Not sure if I wanna get these DLCs or just one yet. I'll figure it out tonight when tomorrows deal goes live and figure out the price situation
  • Got mass effect 2 for Christmas. Time to start downloading this stuff
  • just got them all
  • YES now I can buy this and raskulls... or maybe alan wake dlc... still need the writer
  • This is quite possibly the best deal I've ever seen on xbox. And probably the best I will ever see. Paying $2.50 USD for *ANY* ME2 DLC is insane enough, but $2.50 for Shadow Broker is...broken. For lack of a better term. As someone else here already did, even if you DON'T own ME2, if you ever plan on playing it grab it now. I can't recommend it enough. ME2 was far from my favorite game (though it was great), but you honestly can't beat the price for the amount and quality of the content.
  • wow 200 pts is an unbelievable price, sweet haha
  • @31 Second best deal I've ever seen. 800 to 200 is great, and I'm glad I waited. I only just started ME2 this week. But the best deal I've seen so far was the CCR album getting slashed from 1600 to 400. Same percent, but more savings. and worth every cent.
  • Whoever doesn't have the Mass Effect DLC, should pick it up now even if they do not own the game lol. Also #13 you're an idiot. You shouldn't post something as stupid as that. You make me want to go buy the police uniform just so you never try to friend me.
  • At least we know theres 8 grasses that use this site fact!
  • @13 Your an idiot This is such a great deal that even though I already have all these deals it makes me want to buy it all again.
  • # 25 one word= grass
  • got it, jizz in ma pants!
  • i got the dlc for ME2 the day it was released and it was well worth the money but if anybody hasn't had the dlc for mass effect 2 then get it now because its a must, the quality of kasumi and overlord is brilliant but shadow broker is the best piece of dlc i have ever played, besides the money you save by getting them now leaves you extra money for the weapon packs, ideal if you want your insanity playthrough to be that tini bit easier, also i would recommend using the infiltrator class and get your cloak maxed out for insanity, try to use squad mates with barrier, A.I.hacking and overload,
  • I think most people will agree with me when I say this is an absolute bargain. And that #13 is a tool.
  • Really glad I held off on buying Shadow Broker and Overlord for Mass Effect 2. Procrastination pays off.
  • Might buy the lightsabre or I could buy the Police Uniform and get my comment put back up or maybe lick someones arse.
  • lol, I would've bought it full price if I had the money. I personally think they deserve it. but yeah, great deal.
  • all dlc 200 points each is a steal... pitty ive already got them all... oh well
  • Shit, I'm buying, that's all there is to it
  • Wow couldn't pass up this deal. Will be picking up limbo in a few days as well. Love the holiday steals.
  • F*ck, I bought them all at full price. I'll never ever buy any DLC at full price, they will be discounted some day...
  • It's so Worth it!!! I just played through the Shadow Broker and wow! Definitely take advantage of this!!!!!
  • i dont have me2..........yet im waiting for the inevitable goty edition
  • Monday night combat avaiable for 600 points now :).
  • Like many others, I couldn't believe my eyes this morning. ME2 DLC for 200?! Needless to say, I downloaded ASAP. So glad I waited! On a kind of related note, has anybody gotten their 400MSP from the "spend 1600 on select Marketplace content" offer around a month and a half back? Coz I have yet to receive my 400... Please inbox me if you have any details, I will love you. THANKS.
  • I was gonna buy Mass Effect 2, the other day, but purchased Red Dead Redemption and COD 4 instead, and I have just enough money to get Mass Effect 2 and the DLC, happy days!!! I'll purchase these now and then sometime this week, I'll purchase Mass Effect 2!
  • my reaction when i saw today's deals "bargain! i'll have that. bargain! i'll have that. bargain! i'll have that. police man outfit... feck orf!" i've found the daily deals a bit crap until now
  • How many DLCs does Mass Effect 2 have in total?
  • I am so happy I put off getting the ME2 DLC was so worth it never thought I would see all three of them for 200 points a pop.
  • Downloaded all of them last night, this is exactly the sale that I was waiting for. I thought all three of the DLC packs were regular 560 MSP, even better deal than I thought! I actually haven't started playing ME2 yet, but I bought it last week so this couldn't have been better timing.
  • Glad I didn't buy ME2 DLC during theri Last Deal Of The Week. saved me some MS Points.
  • I haven't bought ME2 but i will buy it soon, this deal saved me a lot of money, I would wish that the other dlc also obtains a deal. (The 1200 msp one idr the name)
  • Phew! I almost forgot these. Remembered these at 4 am today as I was going to sleep. Ws nice to see that they were 200 mspoints. Now I just need to find time to start playing ME 1 so I can start ME 2 after it.
  • Just finished the Shadow Broker DLC. 200 points was a freaking steal. Thanks Bioware and MS.
  • Monday night combat is slashed from 1200 to 600 points today, hopefully they will do the same with Limbo
  • @#58, you're thinking of the Cerberus Network, each new copy of ME2 comes with a code to download it for free anyway. You only need to pay 1200 if you buy a secondhand copy without a code.
  • Dammit! This was the one deal I wanted to jump on, and I just got back in to town yesterday evening and completely forgot to get em. DOH!!
  • Glad I waited on the Shadow Broker, 200 points is a steal.
  • @ #62 wow thanks for the update, i didn't know it, i guess i'll have this dlc for free, just i need to get the ME1 first lol xD
  • Thank you Microsoft!!! Never felt like getting this DLC before, but now I have all the ME2 DLC for like $6 NZ! Awesome deals, keep them coming!
  • Thats a good deal for the Mass Effect2 DLC. Glad i waited
