I figured this was worth its own thread given that someone had mentioned in the Shadow Complex thread that they believed it was for Americans only.

Xbox.com | Summer of Arcade 2009

But if you buy all 5 summer of Acrcade Games before 31st August, you will get 800 points returned within 4 to 6 weeks.

*Limit one (1) gift per person. To qualify for your gift, you must purchase all five (5) games from Xbox LIVE Arcade using your Xbox LIVE account, by August 31, 2009 11:59 EST. The free Points will be automatically deposited into your Xbox LIVE account after the end of the promotion period. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Offer available only to legal residents, age 14 plus, of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, France and Germany, while supplies last,

The five games are:

Splosion Man
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.
Trials HD
Shadow Complex

I would imagine quite a few people will be buying all these games anyway as all are great, here is a reason to do it before August 31st.

Is it worth putting the individual costs of each games next to the titles?

Splosion Man (800 points)
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (1,200)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. (800 points)
Trials HD (1200 points)
Shadow Complex (1200 points)

Yep, quite possibly worth it for those on the fence.

From what I have read the offer was started by Microsoft to take some of the sting away from buying 1200 points games as they knew quite a few don't like this points amount on games.

Been playing TrialsHD and this is superb, behind Bomberman its the best game on live.

It's a shame I have absolutely zero interest in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, have/will be purchasing 3 out of 5 of those, TMNT would have been a possible if it hadn't been for Marvel/Capcom. Ah well

Surely MVC2 can be worth 400 points if you want to say the 800 is just a discount off that.

I have played it and its ok, not the truly fantastic game many make it out to be, not worth 1200 points, its an 800 point game. But just bought it due to this offer.

As I say TrialsHD is superb, and Splosion Man seems like a cross between Mario World and N+, its one of the best platformers I have played in some time.

Not really for me, even at 400 points, I know it's one of those games I'll never play so would just sit there using space on the HD.

Yep, TrialsHD and Splosion Man are fanastic games, as will be Shadow Complex tomorrow, happy days

I'm planning on buying trials and shadow complex.

not sure the 800 rebate is enough to tempt me to get the other 3 and outlay 2,800.

Glad this offer is uk now, have 3 of them, so tempted to buy MvC2 & then it works out get a rebate on turtles which i dont have...mmmmmm

[amardilo]

Does anyone know when the rebate happens? I have bought all the arcade games and don't have the extra 800 points in my account.
