The year is winding down, which means it's time once again for a killer Xbox Live sale. Microsoft will be offering special daily discounts over the next twelve days, starting today with Bastion for only $7.50. The deal is only available today, so act fast if you're looking to whale on some gas bags, and keep your eye on Major Nelson's Twitter for more daily deals.

Beyond the daily deals, there's also a handful of offers available until January 2. You'll find 50 percent discounts on a number of Xbox Live Arcade games, including Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Renegade Ops, BloodRayne: Betrayal and more. You can also grab the LA Noire season pass for $6 or, if you really want to, snag some cheap Avatar gear. Head over to Major Nelson for the full list of deals.

I'm a sucker for a great deal. I think now may be the time for me to pick up Bastion. I do hate the fact that we have no idea what the next deal will be.

Where are these deals? I'm not finding them.

I guess it's time for me to pick up one of those 1600 MS point cards.

I was unable to find them in the marketplace but when i went back to the main part it rotated in the big block from what i recall.

For the folks having a hard time finding it: Just go to the games tab, highlight the big block in the middle and push left or right with the right analog stick until it shows up.

I looked there and I couldnt' find it. Oh well I just did a Bing search and found it that way.

SF3, huh? Not looking forward to taking my medicine from disolitude (gonna have to avoid him online.....) but for 600MSP, I'm gonna get it right now!

Street fighter 3 for 600 is a steal. But I have overdosed myself in fighting games, so I'll pass this one. And I also have a feeling more awesomeness is coming my way.
