Xbox Live Marketplace releases for rest of August scheduled

Though the Summer of Arcade promotion has drawn to a close, there's still plenty of upcoming Xbox Live Marketplace releases to be psyched over. Well, assuming you're a fan of side-scrolling beat-em-ups, that is. Major Nelson's blog recently released the XBLM schedule for the remainder of August (posted after the jump), a period which will see the release of Scott Pilgrim and Shank, discounts on Zeno Clash and some BioShock 2 DLC, and the arrival of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 Avatar items. You know, something casual for your Avatar to wear around the house.

What about Dead Rising Case 0? That comes out on August 31st

@marioSNES Major mentioned it at the bottom of the blog, it's 400MSP

Shank you.

YES!!!! WWE Avatar Items!!! I hope THQ does some items for Home as well!!!

@DWilson8504
Speedos and luchador masks, must be my avatar's birthday.

wow the outfit is like 99 cents a game stop.

Hmmm... I got a buncha points for my birthday, so it looks like I'll be grabbing Scott Pilgrim an... Galaga Legions? Wow, that takes me back! To 2008, even!

And wow, DLC for Snoopy Flying Ace. Did not see that coming. I gotta say, I'm tempted.

@Acosta02
reminded me of this.

Scott Pilgrim for 800 MSPs! They could charge 1600 and I'd still buy it.

At those prices, everyone should get Zeno Clash *and* Galaga Legions.

Man...
Shank and Scott Pilgrim on the same day?
My head asplodes because I want to figure out which one I'll play first.

Nice to see some good deals for a change, not surprisingly they've been crap of late because Microsoft wants us to buy the Summer of Arcade games. I'll be giving Galaga Legions and Zeno Clash another try.

@DrunkSte

Really!?
Dragon Age DLC last week.
Borderlands DLC the week before is bad!?
Really!?

@GordoJones88
I'm much more interested in XBLA games going cheap which is something they've not done since the start of the Summer of Arcade. I have little interest in DLC in general especially for games I don't own and don't care about.

@DrunkSte

Ah, and of course if it isn't something you're personally interested in, then it must be crap. Which reminds me, this week's deals are crap.

@jrr
During the summer of arcade there have been no XBLA games going cheap. XBLA games are something anyone can buy but DLC has a very limited audience because you have to own the game. If they want to give us a mix that’s great but when they just discount DLC only like they have for the past month I consider those to be crap deals even when it's DLC for games I own.

I'd be more excited about the university collection update possibly adding my school if it didn't take so long that I've already graduated.

From everything I've seen about it, I love Shank, and can't wait to get my hands on it.

I'll be picking up Galaga Legions for sure. Can't wait to try Scott Pilgrim!

There isn't enough love for Shank in these comments. I've been looking forward to that game for over a year now. Having Shank & Scott Pilgrim on the same day so makes up for the lame summer of arcade we had this year.

excited for SHANK! Meh on Scott Pilgrim

WARNING, caveat emptor: the BioShock "Rapture Metro" DLC does not have an associated playlist and unless you play private matches, you will likely never play on the maps you purchase.

I cannot wait for Shank, i dont know why, i barely know anything about it, but i just feel compelled to play it

Scott Pilgrim. I'll wait for Shank to be deal of the week, just like Limbo. There's another one too, I just can't remember the name off the top of my head.

Smackdown VS Raw stuff lol. Lettme guess, a TON of Cena garbage, title belts, Undertaker stuff, Mysterio mask.

@Schlecht Yes, how idiotic of them it would be to release stuff based on their top merchandise sellers.

@Ample Salty
Yes, because OBVIOUSLY I called them idiotic in my post, and my sole purpose is to troll anything WWE related.
Your sarcasm fails here.

@Schlecht It's hard to tell sarcasam from Internet Smark #1453464.

I was hoping to see the Mass Effect 2 Shadow Broker DLC on this list, but apparently it's not ready for release yet. Maybe we'll get it next month.

YEA Snoopy Flying Ace Suppertime of Destruction Pack I love this game

Great. I am looking forward to getting my shank on.

Other commentors are correct regarding the Bioshock 2 DLC: the Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack is the only one worth picking up, as the new Rapture Metro maps are still pretty much impossible to play on in ranked matches.

I'm happy to see Zeno Clash on the discount list; been waiting for the price drop before snitchin' it up.

I'll be spending 2000 ms points on 8/25

Shank
