This month on Xbox 360: XBLA, Games on Demand, and more photo

Oh good, another information overload post detailed all of the Xbox 360 happenings for this month. Watch in amusement as I attempt to cram it all into as little of a space as possible.

First up, let's see those hot deals. For the week of December 14, it's the "Coldplay Track Pack" for Lips (240 Microsoft Points) and Pinball FX in Japan (400 MS Points). The following week will see Shadow Complex (800 MS Points), and then during the week of the 28th, it's The Maw (400 MS Points).

On Xbox LIVE Arcade, next Wednesday shall be the first episode of Alien Breed Evolution (800 MS Points). And on the 23rd, Trials HD is getting the "Big Pack" add-on (400 MS Points). Hell. Yes.

Games on Demand for this month is going to be Viva Pinata: Party Animals on the 15th, both Lost Planet Colonies Edition and Devil May Cry 4 on the 22nd, and the original Gears of War on the 29th.

Apparently the Avatar Marketplace has been flooded with holiday-themed stuff today, and "Disney Classic" items will be released on the 24th. Best of all, from December 18 through the 31st, there will be a new Xbox LIVE deal every day. And no, they aren't saying what the deals are yet.

They said early 2010 recently. Also, "winter" goes well into next year.

Maybe I'll grab The Maw for $5, because I friggin' loved Splosion Man. So much charm and polish went into that game, I was impressed.

The Maw is totally worth $5. Maybe not $10, but totally $5. Very fun and charming game. Shadow Complex is also totally worth $10. Good month for deals (if I didn't already own all these games).

I'm thinking about picking up the Alien Breed remake. Saw some screenshots and they looked nice and shiny with guns. Count me in.

lack of clarification on whether this is a Gold or everybody sale is confusing me.

@manasteel88
It is everybody, no doubt. Why would you pay Gold ...... to pay less? That would be outrageous.

When you're referring to fiscal calendars there is winter, spring, summer, and fall.

The winter quarter doesn't officially start until January. So, mr impatient... It ain't winter yet.

DAMN IT! I buy Shadow Complex four months ago for 1200 Microbucks, and now they drop the price to 800 points? If I could see into the future, I would've saved money!

I know...I've let mine lapse. I don't think I'm gonna buy gold just to get 5 bucks off a game though.

I went and researched the actual thing since Jordan kinda half assed the post.

The Deals of the Week are still Gold Exclusives.

The Daily Holiday Deals are open to Gold and Silver.

The Avatar marketplace has some Tokidoki stuff as well as the Holiday clothing. The Cactus Dog Prop looks pretty cool. not 240 points cool but pretty cool none-the-less.

not anything for Silver members? that kinda sucks. sorry, *really* sucks. if I wasn't planning on buying Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2 then sure, I could renew my Gold membership, but pushing those purchases into late January just to save 800 MS Points on two XBLA titles? sorry, not gonna happen.

seriously MS, stop this BS.
