Beginning today, Xbox LIVE Gold members will receive deep discounts (25 – 50% off) each and every week on the hottest Arcade titles, Game Add-ons, Xbox Originals, and other great content. This adds to the incredible value Gold members already receive from their Xbox LIVE Gold membership.

The first “Deal of the Week,” available today, exclusively to Xbox LIVE Gold members, is the award-winning Xbox LIVE Arcade title, “Braid.” Hailed by numerous game critics as the 2008 Game of the Year, this Xbox 360 exclusive is available now to Gold members for only 800 Microsoft Points – a 33% discount! Each deal will only be available to Gold members for one week – act fast!

Coming later this month, Xbox LIVE Gold members will also have exclusive access to steep discounts on Game Add-ons for “Ninja Gaiden II” and “Project Gotham Racing 4,” as well as the original Xbox classic, “Fable.”

For just over $4 a month, Xbox LIVE Gold members get full access to the best multiplayer gaming and entertainment network in the industry. Get a sneak peek at games with the ability to play and watch tons of free demos and trailers a full week before the rest of the community. Get social with video chat, photo sharing, and messaging with friends. Every Xbox LIVE membership also includes Achievements and Gamerscore, Avatars, insider videos of the hottest gaming events, and tips for mastering your favorite games.

The Xbox LIVE “Deal of the Week” is just one more reason why there’s never been a better time to upgrade to Gold.
