Another Restricted Promo Push on XBOX 360
Tuesday on the Major Nelson blog, a reveal showed Sonic 4: Episode I will be available for a discount starting next week, but there is a catch.
Starting March 22nd, only XBOX Live Gold subscribers can grab the first episode for 800 Microsoft points, or just $10 in US money. The campaign ends March 27th.
This is the second restricted promotion for Sonic 4 on XBOX Live. You may remember in December when those interested had to jump through a couple of hoops in order to get a similar sized discount.

AKA the price it should have been at on release
That’s great, I got a new xbox 360 and I need to buy the game again, with this smaller price it makes it a bargain.
….so………pretty much the price it SHOULD have been, yes?
@RaggtimeSonic
Why buy it again? Was your old account/360 banned or something?
sheesh boy they are really discounting the hell out of this title. Man pretty soon hell you might be able to get this game for just a few bucks a clip lol. I gotta get this for my Ipod one of these days though…just been too lazy to do so LOL. I do have it for the PS3 though…seems good enough. Just having special stage issues argh.
@RaggtimeSonic: Just transfer your console license from your old console to your new one. No need to buy the game again!
@Sonical
No, when you download a title onto your Xbox it’s licensed to you to that specific 360, when I transfered my stuff to my new Xbox everything except the game licenses for my arcade games worked. I need to buy it again if I’m going to play it.
You can get Sonic Adventure for 800 points! SA is way better than Sonic 4, yet it’s at half price without the discount. This discount for Sonic 4 should be the solid price (or preferably even lower).
I’m not going to pay more than five bucks for this piece of shit.
I’ll get it if they discount it on the Wii. I don’t keep track of Wiiware titles…do they ever discount those?

Follow the instructions and you need not pay for anything you’ve already brought for a second time.
On the subject at hand though. This would be part of Microsoft’s deal of the week and is one of the perks of being a gold member. MS have been doing this for nearly a year now and i’ve found many a good game through it such as Shank, Scott Pilgram vs The World and Rocket Knight. And when you think about it, 80% of people on xbox live have a gold account so this isn’t exactly “jumping through hoops” as you put it.
Sonic4 is worth 800Points. Nothing more , nothing less.
Watch SEGA release EP:II and then EP:I will go down to 800. =V
@Blippa
I think they do, but it’s freaking rare as hell.
@SAVE_US.222
Thanks, because there’s some other games I wanted to get from the xbla
@SAVE_US.222
By “jumping through hoops” he was referring to the December rebate offer, not this current sale.
I’d honestly rather pay $15 to re-buy Sonic Advance with updated visuals.
It’s more of a Sonic 4 than the actual Sonic 4.
@ Mike: Eww, no. Sonic Adventure is overrated as hell. It’s good, sure, but not as Sonic 4.
….What?
@Haru he said sonic ADVANCE, not Adventure.
Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic 4 > Sonic Colors, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight, and Sonic Heroes by far. Anyone who’s been with Sonic since day 1 would know this.
Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Colors > Sonic 4, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight, and Sonic Heroes
Fixed.
