XBLA: 0D Beat Drop Dated, Japan's Deals Of The Week Announced For November

The Japanese Xbox blog has revealed Arc System Works' 0D Beat Drop will drop in on the 11th of November, and have revealed what might be the Deals Of The Week for the upcoming month.

0D Beat Drop is a drop down puzzle game that mixes a bit of Tetris and Puzzle Fighter together with a hint of Lumines' aesthetic. You'll set up long chains of colored jewels, and then explode them all by slamming them into the ground with the X button. The game's soundtrack is produced by Sweet Vacation, a popular Japanese music unit.

Check out a video of the game here. The game will retail for 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

November's Deals Of The Week for Japan include 3 on 3 NHL Arcade on November 16th with a drop from 800MSP to 400MSP, and both Peggle and Death Tank on November 23rd - Peggle dropping from 800MSP to 400MSP, and Death Tank from 1200MSP to 800MSP. This goes alongside Call Of Duty 4's DLC going half price on November 2nd, Saints Row 2: Ultor Exposed DLC for 560MSP on November 9th, and Fable II's Fate Of The Future DLC dropping to 400MSP on the 23rd.

Usually these deals to correlate with the rest of the world, but sometimes they're the Japanese replacement for something that they didn't receive, like a few weeks ago when Japan received Golf: Tee It Up cheaper when the rest of the world got cheaper Resident Evil 5 DLC.

It does make some sense though - a cheaper Peggle could correlate with Peggle Nights DLC coming out soon, and Death Tank is in dire need of a price cut. Just keep note if you plan to pick up any of that DLC over the next few weeks, you might hit a bargain.
