Xbox Live's Holiday Deals of the Week: Halo 3 map pack for 400 points photo

It would seem that Microsoft's Black Friday Marketplace sale was a success, because the platform holder is now offering one brand new deal a week for the month of December.

The first "Holiday Deal" is the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack for 400 Microsoft points. Originally priced at 600, that's a saving of 200 pieces of digital toy money! The deal will last from today until the end of the week, when a new deal takes over. 

Having wised up after the sh*tstorm of the Black Friday deal, Microsoft has also announced that this new scheme is open to ALL Xbox Live members, regardless of region. Everybody can be cheap bastards together.

And really, isn't that what Christmas is all about?

Let me sit back and watch.

Hmm. Maybe I'll grab the map pack now that it's only five bucks. Who knows, sometime next year I might get back into the game and go for the extra 250 Gamerscore...

Wow! I think Jim here just discovered the true meaning of christmas...being a cheap bastard.

Anyway I'm strapped for cash right now and my live suscription has expired, until I get that back..there seriously isn't any use of this download.

I might pick it up, it'll be fun to actually play some of the new matchmaking modes like Sniper or whatever it's called...some of them require all DLC.

MS has said the Legendary pack will never be free. So now's a good a time as any.

I'm still holding out for this to go free around the time of the Mythic map pack. If it's not free by then, I'll actually pay for it, but otherwise, I don't see any pressing need to get it.
