Microsoft discounts Super Meat Boy, other content across its platforms
17
This week, Microsoft is offering discounts across Xbox Live, Windows PC and its mobile platforms. It's being billed as a fan appreciation sale and we're sure Microsoft would appreciate if its fans spent money. It's kinda how these things go.
Highlights include Super Meat Boy for $5, a few discounted add-ons for Left 4 Dead 2 and Homefront, half-off Indie Games titles Flotilla and Weapon of Choice, and a few PC and mobile joints for good measure. If you want to spend, there's a good chance you can find something to spend money on here. The only thing we'd suggest is that perhaps you hold off on the five different premium Xbox 360 themes available. There's no word on whether or not they'll be compatible with your new Dashboard next month.

Nothing mindblowing. Though if you haven't picked up Super Meat Boy yet, what is wrong with you?

Some people dont like games to frustrate and annoy them to the point of smashing their controller.

It's $5 plus the cost of a new controller when you throw one at the wall.

@Snappyguy These Xbox controllers are actually fairly sturdy when it comes to blunt force. It took my cat gnawing on the thumbsticks for mine to be rendered inoperable. I'd worry more for the wall, honestly.

To bad Microsoft still forces companies to charge for DLC. I bet you will be able to get Left 4 Dead 2 on PC this weekend cheaper than the"on sale" DLC on the 360. Pity... Keep up the fight Gabe!

Is the Assassins Creed dlc any good? I loved the game but never got any of dlc.

The new Deathspank is on sale, and 3 4-Packs for Pinball FX too. Outrun Arcade is $5 too. I think it's a pretty good sale, not sure why Joystiq didn't go more in depth on it.

The themes do work with the new Dashboard layout.

Pinball! Sold.
Da Vinci seems a bit of a waste since ACR is out now and, even before that, nobody played ACB multiplayer.

It's sad no one played the ACB multiplayer. I thought it was quite enjoyable.
Hopefully ACR will pull more people in and keep them longer.
