November 4, 2011 in deals

Each week Microsoft offers a Games for Windows “Deal of the Week”. This deal lasts one week and is available to ALL members. The October 27th, 2011 “Deal of the Week” is a bit of a mess right now. Xbox points to a Tomb Raider Deal, but the weekly email points to a Dead Rising 2 sale. Read the rest of this entry →

sale – 2011-10-23 – kinect anniversary

October 24, 2011 in deals

The site has found the previously announced “Kinect Anniversary” sale. The site is miscategorizing parts of the sale because some of the items are new, yet they are on sale, specifically the Dance Central Packs. They were delisted after the last sale and I expect the same to happen again. I will manually update the database and the changes will be reflected here automatically.

feedburner and twitter not updating

September 1, 2011 in site news

I have noticed that the feed burner and twitter integration are not working as smoothly as I had hoped.  I have noticed a few items missing from the RSS feed, I use Google reader not sure if other readers fared better.  Twitter seems to have the most issues as it has over ten events missing.

The issue seems to span from the high volume of changes that were generated by the Call of Duty and regularly scheduled Deal of the Week sales.  Games on Demand, Downloadable Content, Arcade Games and Avatar Gear all dropped in price this past Tuesday.  In all more than 40 events were recorded by the site.

games for windows deal of the week – 2011-08-25

August 28, 2011 in deals

Usually each week Microsoft offers a Games for Windows “Deal of the Week”. This deal lasts one week and is available to ALL members.  This week the deal is supposed to be on Europa Universalis III: Chronicles, but the site did not register a price drop. Even the official facebook Games for Windows LIVE wall has a post about it, but the link they provide is to Europa Universalis III, but that also did not change price according to the site.  I’m not sure what’s going on but to me it looks like there is no Games For Windows “Deal of the Week” this week.
