Xbox Australia has just confirmed the Summer Winter of Arcade “points back” promo previously announced for the US is now open to Australians as well.
Here’s how it works: you buy all five Summer Winter of Arcade games (’Splosion Man, Marvel vs Capcom 2, TMNT: Turtles in Time, Shadow Complex and Trials HD) and you’ll be refunded 800 Microsoft Points. As InsiderX points out, it’s like getting ‘Splosion Man for free.
The catch? You must buy all five by 11:59pm August 31.
The other catch? The 800 point Turtles in Time is, well, kinda crap.
I think it's pretty good because most of those games deserve to be owned. I'm thinking about it. I've always wanted to get Splosion Man and I already have Shadow Complex and Trials HD.
MvC2 is great but I wouldn't play it much if at all (shit at 2D games plus spent enough time with it on DC), same with Turtles in Time.
I bitched and moaned when it wasn't available to Australians but now that it is there's only three games I'd want to get, and of those three Splosion Man is only a maybe.
They should just make it a regular thing where if you buy X number of games you get the cheapest one free.
