Enormous Xbox Marketplace sale starts next week

I'm considering a few here - TWD seems to have been very much enjoyed by many and I tried out one of the demo's and may be up for something different like this but that's only if I can find the time for even more gaming than I already have with mah backlog. :P

Anyway, figured I'd share this with SW.

The Story.

Good for 360 owners, but for us PS Plus subscribers we get great deals all the time. I think XBL should become more like that.

Why We Heart PlayStation Plus (and Firmware 3.40) - IGN

Have you seen the selection this year by any chance? Plus Members got Infamous 2, LBP 2, BioShock 2, BorderLands, Saints Row 2 (with all DLC), Just Cause 2, Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, Scott Pilgrims, Outland, The Walking Dead EP 1 and 2, and more all for free. We also got massive discounts on Journey and several other games.

That is a hell a lot of savings. Especially if you are in Europe, they got Arkham City and RDR for free as well. All this combined saves a lot of money, does anything on XBL come close to this?

I didn't side step anything, simply pointed out that when you compare the two services PS Plus offers far more than XBL. Even with these deals you brought up, Plus still comes out on top by far, it saves you more money.

This is math, it is fact.

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"] I like that. XBL has something like that too, like I've already said. Weekly, monthly and publisher deals. And you only need Gold for weekly deals. So, care to sidestep around this more, or are you gonna acknowledge xbl has a sh!t ton of discounts throughout the whole year?freedomfreak

This is math, it is fact.

How much money would you save with XBL Gold? Now how much money would you save with PS Plus? In one year.

The answer is obvious.

LOL why are people saying 5% when the weekly deals MS hold are usually 33 or 50% off.RR360DD

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"] Far more? 'Cause from what I've seen PSN+ doesn't offer "far more", as far as this discussion goes.freedomfreak

How much money would you save with XBL Gold? Now how much money would you save with PS Plus? In one year.

The answer is obvious.

Yes it is, it's about savings and discounts, it's obvious within a full year that Plus saves you more money. I even showed you the IGN account that traks how much money you can save with it.
