Welcome one and all to Xbox Live News with Pipper. Crazy how the seasons pass us by, and it is already October! Starting to get a bit cold up in my neck of the woods, so I’ll be zipping up my sweatshirt before going to work – playing video games.

In addition to the deals above, Activision is packing the heat this week with loads of price cuts. Modern Warfare 3 can be purchased for $44.99 (25% off), and Collection 1 and 2 packs are available for a mere 600 MSP each. If that wasn’t enough, Modern Warfare 2 has been sliced down to $19.99, and both Stimulus and Resurgence packs are at 600 MSP. Oh wait, I forgot there was more. Black Ops can be purchased for $39.99, and all four map packs can be bought for – you’ve guessed it – 600 MSP. Other titles like Transformers: WFC, Prototype, Prototype 2, Apache: Air Assault, Arkadian, and Carcassonna have all taken price cuts. You can find the rest of these amazing deals on your Xbox Dashboard, so be quick as these deals only last until October 8th!
Hopefully these deals will satisfy your hunger for a couple weeks. If not you can always express your complaints in the comments below, and we can direct the message. I would like to personally thank everyone for tuning in again for another chapter of Xbox Live News with Pipper. Remember to take an hour break from your MMORPG to give some love to your console games, and always remember to “Play Hard or Don’t Play At All!”
