DIRT 3 is $4.99 and Driver: San Francisco $6.59 on XBL for Gold members.

Smokin' deals on two very fun driving games, even though I know 94 percent of those who enjoy racing games already purchased DIRT 3. :)

Thanks for the tip. The 360 sure has some great gaming deals for those of us who may have not played all these games when they first came out. I really want to get the original Dirt with Pikes Peak, but it is listed at $29.99 for digitial download. Guess I need to find it used somewhere.

F1 2013 is 67 percent off list price today. I'm not sure of the actual price. I own the game, so I don't see the price in the Marketplace.

GREAT deal on arguably the most complete, enjoyable racing sim on the Xbox.

I bought way too many games back around Christmas because of this.

Thanks, I just bought F1 2013. Does this include the Classics content or do I need to purchase the bundle for $12.49? The main game description says it does but makes no mention of Coulthard or Villeneuve whereas the add-on content does. :?

I'm pretty sure -- I'm working now -- the standard game includes Brands Hatch and Jerez and 80s cars. But you need to buy the 90s cars and Imola and Estoril.

Thanks PK, I'll pass then. $12.49 for a few of the 90's cars and a couple of tracks is a rip.

I have not played a Rally game for a long time. I was going to ask if Dirt 3 was a solid game.

I'm still buying up some digital XBL games, as the prices are good. I will eventually move the 360 upstairs and have a ton of great games to play through. I also picked up Dishonored for $10.

You are very mistaken, my friend. It's $12.49 for all current tracks and teams plus the 80s cars and two historic tracks. That's a phenomenal deal.

DIRT 3 is superb, if a bit confounding. The rally stages are very exciting and challenging, and I dig the selection of various cars. But I wasn't a huge fan of the gymkhana stunting. Maybe that pumps your piston! :)

Dishonored for $10 is a steal. The best Xbox 360 game I've played, by some distance. One of the five most enjoyable, compelling non-sports games I've ever played.

I prefer the original dirt. Pikes Peak is a thrilling conclusion.

I have the 80's cars (Ferrari, Williams, Lotus, McLaren) along with 2 tracks (Jerez and Brands Hatch). Are there more 80's cars and tracks?

100% true. The rest of the Dirts were just OK. The first was a classic.

If anyone sees a good deal on a PS3 please let me know. My original 60 gig after just having it fixed for the thermal paste issue which cost me $90 is not not recognizing any game discs. Time to s*** can it and get another PS3 so my kids can experience some of the good games.

Now I'm quite confused. You already own this game? Why would you buy a second copy?

Negative, I missed out on the Steam deal. My only copy is on the 360.

If you have an AMEX card check your rewards section to redeem the following. Spend $5 in iTunes and get $5 rewards credit back on your statement so basically you pay $0.
