I'm pretty sure they had occasional extra discounts on games for gold members before 2010.  Now discounts on games are much more frequent both for gold and non gold members.  It seems that there are some deals on games and other stuff on the 360 on a semi weekly basis.

Oh...I just read up. Deals with  gold is the new initiative with stronger sales to combat PSN+ discounts. It was renamed from the "Deal of the Week" which has existed since 2009. Things are about to get interesting now because those old deals were a joke. Thanks to Valve, Sony started doing discounts and thanks to Sony, Microsoft followed suit. Competition is a hell of a thing and the deals are great all around now.

There have been a lot of good deals on the 360 over the past year.  Only wish that the DLC for Forza 4 would be on sale once in a while or the second DLC for Alan Wake.
