Last summer Electronic Arts and Hasbro announced a partnership that would find the videogame publisher creating titles based on board games, and the board game maker creating physical editions of EA's videogame properties. The first fruits of their labors are starting to appear with Hasbro Family Game Night for the Wii and PlayStation 2. It's a collection of several popular Hasbro titles, replicated in both authentic and updated forms.

"This week, Xbox LIVE Gold members can get the following Hasbro Family Game night titles for 50% off."
This is the second time this deal has come around so if you didn't get the games the first time now would be a time to complete the collection. Suprised I haven't seen any deals on MS point cards. I think the main reason for this sale is that the new FGN3 is not coming to XBLA, at least it hasn't been announced. Personally I have played the new one and would not buy more than Life, Yahtzee Hands Down, and maybe Mouse Trap. Definately not worth the full disc price. Sorry Hasbro but bad move leaving the FGN XBLA fans in the dust.
