XBLA: Deals Of The Week Revealed For September

Microsoft's Deal Of The Week promotions have been quite the success for the Xbox Live Arcade - not so much for anything else (A theme price reduction? Really?) but Microsoft are planning on a full month of XBLA bargains, according to the official Japanese Xbox blog.

According to the blog the month will start with Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2, which on August 31st will be priced 33% off at 800 Microsoft Points. On September 7th Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords will be priced for a bargain 400MSP - 50% off its current price, and 66% off the price it originally started at. I'm surprised that it's not Galactrix, but oh well.

On September 14th Tozai's Lode Runner, much like their R-Type Dimensions did this month, will be 33% off at 800MSP. Finally on September 21st Pinball FX will be made cheap at just 400MSP.

Also they have revealed that Yo Ho Kablammo, one of the last winners of Dream-Build-Play 2007, will be released next week alongside Defense Grid for 800MSP.

Now although these have been unveiled by the official Japanese blog, this might not be the case for America. If the Deal Of The Week is something that is not available in Japan they tend to get something else - like how they got 50% off SoulCalibur this week instead of GTA Lost & The Damned. Just keep that in mind.

You'd have to be absolutely mental not to pick up Puzzle Quest for 400 MS Points. It's still one of the best games on XBLA.
