Microsoft, as they so often do, today updated us on the next few weeks of content on Xbox Live. That includes this and next week’s Deal of the Week, the next few weeks of Xbox Live Arcade games and DLC add-ons, a few sale and special items that are on sale this week, a few upcoming demos and even some Games on Demand. Please remember though that this list is non-exhaustive and there will be some items that don’t appear on the list, but otherwise, start planning your next few weeks of purchases... you know, before LA Noire and Brink chew up what little free time and cash you have. Gogogo!

  • whole lot of nothing for me. oh well.
  • Me as well.....
  • ESCALATION!!!!!!
  • Eh, the Dead Rising 2 stuff looks appealing, maybe COD Black Ops but other then that, nothing that exciting.
  • Nice, I'll pick up Banjo-Kazooie, (haha, finally get that 0 point achievement in N&B, too) and some of the Castlevania stuff :)
  • GETTING CASE WEST AND ESCALATION!!! EPIC WEEK
  • Moon Diver should be on this list for May 4th...
  • Probably getting the Dragon Age 2 item bundle pack.
  • Perfect excuse for me to finally get Banjo-Kazooie. Have it on N64, but i'd like to put some achievements to it.
  • Escalation for me, idk if I should pick up Case West but I want to save my points since I already have 6200
  • sigh
  • Dead Rising Case Zero for 400 points is a steal but at 200 points there is absolutley no reason not to pick this up.
  • Looks like I'll be getting the Harmony of Despair DLC stages, plus Case West.
  • Risk Factions is worth it at that price, if anybody was wondering.
  • I second Moon Diver for May 4th. Also, don't be a "miserable little pile of secrets" and miss out on Castlevania Symphony of the Night for that outstanding price.
  • I love castlevania HOD but the original prices of the extra stages breaks my heart, glad I waited to buy them when then go on sale in May.
  • Here I thought I would have to buy points. I spent the last of them on CASE: West. Nothing else for me.
  • Cant wait for the castlevania. shame there still makin things for cod. Battlefield for the win
  • What #16 said. Yay!
  • Not only am I gettin escalation day 1 but I'm gonna be alllll over lego pirates...completly forgot about that demo cause I figured the game would be delayed till like sept....
  • Oh how I really want Dead Rising Case Zero. Too bad it got blocked here. Dammit.
  • Can I assume we won't get the Mortal Kombat demo - ever?
  • RED FACTION!!!!!
  • Think I'll grab some Case West fun when my points turn up.
  • I'll let the GOW Beta keep me entertained until Dirt 3...
  • Where's Sega rally?
  • @26 yes where is sega rally? It was in the previous news item for this weeks xbla/dotw
  • @27 It was on last weeks xbla/dotw.. sorry
  • So is it out or not?
  • Where's the Mortal Kombat demo?
  • Definitely getting Banjo Kazooie, for that price. See? Sometimes it pays to be forgetful.
  • Awesome discounts on all of the Castlevania goodness. Too bad I already bought all of it ages ago. lol
  • Risk factions again?!?!?
  • Still waiting for Saint's Row 2: Corporate Warfare to go on a deal! Will it ever happen?! I'm hoping maybe in time for SR3
  • god damb =[ i only just picked up the castlevania maps.
  • MEH!
  • will pick up Castlevania:HoD as i missed it while it was on offer over christmas
  • Oh look no Resurrection for LOS go figure
  • BANGAI-0!!!!!
  • Got everything I want there already. Looking forward to the two demos though.
  • I want the castlevania levels but I really want more achievements. It's still going to be 800msp for all 50g levels. Dukes.
  • I'll pick up Risk Factions, missed it last time it was on sale. Other than that, i'm good.
  • I'll try out the Red Faction demo. Other than that, I'll give the Outland demo a shot, too.
  • i got dead rising 2 not long ago but might buy all the packs. Id like to see the new kills with weapons. Have 800 points so thats lucky
  • So that rules out New Vegas DLC..boooo
  • i wonder if theres gonna be a spring for arcade or summer of Arcade and what titles they will have
  • @46 I hope there is. Game Informer has been giving details about some arcade games in their magazines I'm excited for/interested in. OT: Looks like I'll get Escalation (for zombies only) and maybe with the rest of the points left over snag Risk: Factions
  • gatling gears and outland for me
  • and in germany we get no dead rising stuff but instead *again* worms 2 armageddon for 400ms (stated on xbox.com germany) *sigh*
  • Picking up some Banjo Kazooie! not played that game for donkey years and now I have the Slim 360, more then enough HDD space! Also pick up some Dead Space 2 DLC why I am at it.
  • No love for the LEGO demo...can't wait for it, love the LEGO games...
  • kinect sports!
  • What an anti-climax.. a load of rubbish.
  • Umm, there's no mention of Nin-2 Jump and Trouble Witches Neo in that list (which just came out now though).
  • And we're back to shitty DoTW. I am definitely interested ni Outland though. Will give trial ago and decide then.
  • I might pick up both dead rising DLC, but do I need to have the original games to get them??
  • when will there be my horse and me 2 DLC.....D=
  • @56 -- I know you do not need Dead Rising to play Case Zero, but I'm not sure about Case West...
  • For everyone who doesnt know Case West and Case Zero are separate from Dead Rising 2 and can be downloaded and played as separate XBLA titles. I dont know why everyone is complaining. There are some good deals in there for people who doent already have the XBLA games or the Dead Rising and Castlevania stuff. Ill actually be getting all the extra Harmony of Despair stages. Already got everything else.
  • @59 thx for answering my question before i asked..
