No! No! No! is exactly what Santa Pipper is saying to the latest deals for Xbox Live. Welcome once again to Xbox Live News with Pipper, and this time you will wish you had coal in your stockings. Not much worthwhile up for grabs in the Deals of the Week section. However, add-ons and games on demand may be worth some of your time. Let’s see if there are any stocking stuffers!

In addition to these new releases and deals, more sales are coming in the month of December. First up is Kinect Central: Michael Jackson The Experience that is currently on sale until Dec. 17th with a price varying by region. Starting of this weekend on Dec. 14th is THQ’s weekend sale; keep an eye out for these deals on your Xbox Live dashboard. Towards the end of the month we will see Kinect Central: Carnival Games Monkey See Monkey Do on sale as well as discounts on games for the countdown to 2013 beginning on Dec. 18th.
I would like to personally thank everyone for tuning in again for another chapter of Xbox Live News with Pipper. Santa Pipper would be extremely sad if this was the last Xbox update due to some claiming the world will end before the holidays. All the more reason to remember to “Play Hard or Don’t Play At All!”
