As a huge Jason Mraz fan, I share your excitement. /sarcasm.

They could have at least put things people would actually buy on sale.

Johan · 11-26-2008, 02:06 PM

This is a good idea. Too bad I own what I want on that list.

I suppose Boogie Bunnies and Golf: Tee it Up might be worth a second look. Maybe.

Trickyicky · 11-26-2008, 02:41 PM

I'll pick up Assault Heroes for 250. A full game for the price of a theme.

ElektroDragon · 11-26-2008, 03:09 PM

Awesome.... and combine it with Amazon.com's sale, and I won't have to leave the house on Friday!

Keep in mind that you can likely get MS points on sale at various retailers - unless you're in Canada

.

Anyhow - no matter how you cut it - Rez HD is easily worth that price. Catan isn't a bad buy either.

Most got Catan for free though as it was the game they gave away for a day awhile back for the major live outage they had.

Damn they gave Catan away for free? I missed it...

beefyjr · 11-26-2008, 06:14 PM

I'm down with Rez for 500 points.

I don't believe they gave away Catan. They did give away Carcassonne though.

Rex Dart · 11-26-2008, 06:29 PM

So this is only for Gold members? That's too bad.

Deepsleeper · 11-26-2008, 07:08 PM

Assault Heroes is totally worth it if you've got some points laying around.

Winner.

You receive: One fluffy bunny

Gusj · 11-27-2008, 02:03 AM

If this goes for Europe as well (honestly I've never heard of Black Friday beore and had to wiki it) I'll maybe get the four first games on your list.
And maybe the Castle Crashers theme.

Demo_Boy · 11-27-2008, 07:49 AM

How about Castle Crashers or Braid for 800 points?

Pnikosis · 11-27-2008, 08:15 AM

Nice, I'll get REZ and maybe the Crackdown DLC... uhm and Assault Heroes.

Rirath · 11-27-2008, 09:50 AM

Assault Heroes may be worth the couple of bucks, but I've gotta agree with Demo... some big name (and arguably overpriced) titles would have been nice.
