Xbox Live: Deal of the Week

Xbox Live's "Deal of the Week" promotion is a Gold membership exclusive offer on a piece of content each week. Under the promotion, there will be one item discounted on LIVE Marketplace every week, including Xbox LIVE Arcade games, Xbox Originals, and premium download content for Xbox 360 retail games to include multiplayer maps and cool new songs. Although there were occasional "Deal of the Week" promotions before, the offer officially started on Monday 23 February 2009 and has been running ever since. These deals are only available to people with an Xbox LIVE Gold membership.

Originally posted on Major Nelson's blog:

"On the heels of the highly successful Black Friday sale for US Members, I am happy to announce the Marketplace ‘Holiday Deal Of The Week’ which will run through Christmas.

The program kicks off tomorrow with a deal on the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack. Originally priced at 600 points, it will go on sale tomorrow for 400 points for Gold Members in Xbox LIVE regions. That is a savings of 33% (200 points.)
The special pricing will be available after 0900 PT for one week.

Here are some details around the program:
The special deal pricing is available for Gold Members only
Deal of week is a program for all Xbox LIVE regions.I’ll announce a new deal on Monday, which will go on sale the following day for one week."

23 December 2008		Halo: Combat Evolved	Xbox Original	Halo: Combat Evolved (US link) (UK link)	1200 MSP	600 MSP	600 MSP (50%)

Halo: Combat Evolved has for some reason been given a different product code on each of the US and UK marketplaces resulting in two different links needed, hopefully one of these links will work for all other regions as well.

The above deals were extremely successful and they led to Microsoft eventually implementing the "Deal of the Week" as a regular offering.
