Gears of War Avatar stuff is probably cheaper now photo

This week's Deal of the Week isn't a 3D Realms or an EA DICE joint. Hell, it's not even a downloadable game or add-on. According to Major Nelson, this week's offer at a reduced price is Gears of War Avatar crap. Until next Monday, Gold members can download the COG armor and decorative helmet for 240 MSP and 80 MSP respectively in the Avatar Marketplace.

We're not sure what kind of savings this is. We're not nerd enough to consider making our digital likenesses look like nerds. That's not to stop you though. Do your thing and be proud. Nerd.

Way to take advantage of the outage MS.

Seriously though. It would've been a good day to just have random shit sales.

Is MS just trying to insult people with these deals?

Oh well, I guess someone somewhere might be happy with this "deal."

This is a joke, yes?

With all the things they could put on sale, they put this? Avatar shit that's been out since the store launch? MS seems to only make the DOtW's something that everyone either already has, or doesn't give a crap about.

Can't they at least pick something crappy that I can use? Like Onechanbara add on content. It's perfect because only I would care.

Drop the final digit off the gear at these prices and I *might* think about them. At these prices? Not a freaking chance.

In my book buying avatar items because they're on sale only puts you two spots above the idiots who normally waste money on avatar items; just above that and people who have their limbs removed as a form of extreme cosmetic surgery.

240 MS points? Isn't that like $4 in real money? That's to say it was previously MORE than $4? MORE THAN $4? Who the hell is spending that much money on this stuff?

I want more Awards damn it!
I <3 L4D2, the Halo thing, and Splosion Man. I don't like Halo enough to use the free thing, and haven't played Splosion Man, but just the fact that they have awards is awesome.

Dear Developers; We want more avatar awards.

I'm okay with the avatar item shop, and have bought a few things myself, but this is bullshit. I was hoping for another Live Arcade game to come down.

I am an Xbox360 owner I think this thing is just a plain stupidity, Xbox live avatars and PSN Home is just a weak copy of sims games, which I've played all my life and have grown tired of them, I just don't see myself buying anything for my avatar, the items I have I have unlocked it playing games.

I bought some the subject Delta costume after buying chime and Darwinia+, because well I had spare points, and community games are garbage.
haters gonna hate.

@Horus -- Hating on community games and buying a virtual costume for your virtual character is a little insulting. Haven't you heard of Arkedo Studio, Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp and Carneyvale Showtime?

Not to mention a little game called I Made a Game with Zombies in It!

I have a hard time understanding how a Big Daddy helmet is better than that $1 gem...

Third, many scholars consider that the Phaistos disk is written in a syllabary.  According to TORC, the Trojan language had an Ugric grammar, and therefore belonged to the Ural-Altaic family.
