Xbox Gaming in South Africa

It seems Microsoft has finally grasped the idea behind this whole "deal" thing, with Gold members getting some decent discounts on fairly new content in Xbox LIVE's Deal of the Week promotion.

This week is no different, with both downloadable add-ons for Modern Warfare 2, the Stimulus Package & Resurgence Pack, 50% off. That's just 600 MSP for all the new multiplayer maps!

Stimulus Package

The Stimulus Package delivers 5 additional action-packed multiplayer maps featuring a variety of locations: "Bailout," a multi-level apartment complex; "Storm," an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery; "Salvage," a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars. Two legendary fan-favorites from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare return, including "Crash," a war-torn urban environment; and "Overgrown," which features a massive dry creek bed.

Resurgence Pack

The Resurgence Pack delivers five epic multiplayer maps: “Carnival,” an abandoned amusement park with a variety of unique vantage points; “Fuel,” a massive oil refinery with extremely long sightlines; “Trailer Park,” a maze-like mobile estate surrounded by war-torn debris. Two legendary maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare return more detailed than ever, including “Strike,” a large urban center in the desert; and “Vacant,” a fast-paced Russian office complex with few places to take cover.
