As reported by Larry (Major Nelson) earlier today, Xbox LIVE will be starting a new promotional program called “Holiday Deal of the Week”. Obviously on a weekly cycle, there will be an offering that is typically sold via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace that will be discounted or otherwise provided with a purchasing incentive. The announcement for the item should occur on a Monday, the product will be available at the discounted price the next day (Tuesday), and the promotion is intended to last for one week from that point; then the next item will be announced, and the cycle begin anew.
The first item on the block is Halo 3′s Legendary Map Pack. Now, given the popularity of Halo 3, a lot of people who would be interested in it have already purchased it. But for more casual gamers who have Halo 3 but have hesitated on buying any of the game add-ons, or just are waiting until the add-ons are given away for free, this may be a good way to pick up things much earlier.
This program is intended to run until the end of December, so stay tuned!
