A few weeks ago, the kind folks at Microsoft gave us the chance to vote on what downloadable content we would like to see on sale. Out of the selection of games chosen (which, disappointingly, have all been the subject of Deals of the Week before), Bioware's epic space role-playing game, Mass Effect 2 won. As a result, this week's deals of the week are all add-ons for Mass Effect 2, with 50% off:
The Lair of the Shadow Broker
You'll also get the opportunity to continue your romance with Liara.
Was: 800 Microsoft Points (about £6.80)
Now: 400 Microsoft Points (about £3.40)
Asari researcher Liara T'Soni is trying to track down the mysterious Shadow Broker - she'll do anything to track down the man he kidnapped; but the Broker's agents will also do anything they can to stop her. Team up with Liara and chase down the Shadow Broker across the galaxy, from the luxurious heights of Illium, to the depths of his lair - gaining five new achievements, new research and the Shadow Broker Intel Centre as you go.
Kasumi: Stolen Memory
Kasumi always makes sure she's prepared for the worst of weather.
Was: 560 Microsoft Points (about £4.76)
Now: 280 Microsoft Points (about £2.38)
Cerberus have managed to enlist the help of master thief, Kasumi Goto. But in exchange for her services, she's asked Shephard to lend a hand in a dangerous heist into the vault of the deadly criminal, Donovan Hock. In order to get the information Kasumi needs, you'll need to travel to the planet of Bekenstein, where Hock is throwing a party for the galaxy's richest - and most deranged - criminal masterminds. In exchange for your services, you'll get Kasumi as a new squad member, a new weapon, some new research, and a shiny new achievement when you finish.
The Arrival
"I like big butts and I cannot lie"
Was: 560 Microsoft Points (about £4.76)
Now: 280 Microsoft Points (about £2.38)
An undercover Alliance agent has mysteriously gone missing in Batarian space - just days after they uncovered vital evidence confirming an imminent Reaper invasion. Coincidence? Commander Shephard thinks not, and sets off to the edge of the galaxy in search of the missing operative, to discover the truth behind the arrival. This add-on will net you some new research and three brand new achievements too.
Microsoft's Deal of the Week is only for Xbox Live Gold subscribers - Silver members will not be able to take advantage of the discounted prices. Approximate value of Microsoft points in pounds is based on buying the points direct from Microsoft through the Xbox dashboard - equivalent price in pounds will vary depending on where you bought your points.
