Xbox deal this week is a 'Brain Challenge'
It's quite the coincidence that after challenging our brains week after week about how the Xbox "Deal of the Week" is determined, Brain Challenge ends up becoming this week's offering. The glorified mobile app isn't "bad," but we still have to think real hard if it's worth the 400
($5) price -- at its standard 800
($10) price, we feel a purchase would put us in the same category as Abby Normal's cerebral matter.
If you're in the market for some cranial exercise, this would be the week to get the Brain Age clone. Just be prepared to learn that a purchase is unlikely to make you any smarter.

OOh... five bucks IS cheaper than ten bucks. I wanted to get the full version before but don't know how it compares to brain age which was kinda fun when playing that text color game! "Brue!" "Led!" "yerrow!" "Black! Black! please repeat that... omfg Brack?!" good job! your brain age is........... 67!

It's disappointing that the Deal of the Week started off so well with excellent purchases such as Braid, Xbox Original Fable and Halo Maps but in the last few weeks nothing has remotely interested me and I doubt they are getting a big sales increase. I just hope the deals get a bit more interesting at peak periods such as holiday seasons as it is a great idea to offer Gold subscribers something extra for their cash.

lol.
These deals are certainly becoming increasingly mundane as the weeks go by.
Braid was a great offer I feel. As was Halo for 600pts.
This Brain game is just silly.

And I was just about to buy this on my PS3... I guess I will buy it on the 360 for 5 bucks cheaper.... Saving is fun...

After everyone complaining.. I think this is a GREAT deal! This is a really fun game and a steal for only 400 points!
