Resident Evil 5 'Versus Mode' DLC's price gets slashed  photo

Versus Mode is Microsoft’s latest Deal of the Week. As such, the first major Resident Evil 5 download is priced at a pretty 240 Microsoft Points instead of the usual 400 Microsoft Banana Dollars. According to Major Nelson, this is a 40 percent savings and I’ll believe him -- the Banana Dollars math continues to defeat my brain.

As always, this promotion is only available to Xbox LIVE Gold Members. But another caveat was added this week: Japanese LIVE account holders won’t be able to access this deal. Microsoft is making amends by offering LIVE Arcade title Golf: Tee It Up for 500 MSP. We suppose that’s a good offer?

Regardless, Versus Mode is blast and definitely worth the change if you’re down for multiplayer mayhem in Resident Evil 5. We’re not sure how strong the player base is for the aging (by Internet standards) game, so be wary.

Well it was never really expensive for me to begin with. I bought it with the extra points on my 1600 card... I never played the mode once.

If you never played it once, then it was entirely too expensive. Either that or you enjoy throwing money away, in which case give it here.

Well actually the funny thing is I bought the card specifically for the vs mode, but I ended up spending the other 1200 points on Banjo Tooie XBLA, so I was too enthralled in that game to bother to play RE 5 again. I'll probably eventually start playing it, haha.

oh and @mrandydixon

Mine's today. :0 but I'll make sure to get you something nice.

Happy birthday, my friend! I'd buy you something, but I've spent all my money on videogames, so... yeah, not gonna happen!
