Throughout the month of December, Microsoft is offering 400MS Points ($5) to users who purchase two qualifying XBLA titles. However, like all promotions that seem too good to be true, there is some fine print to take note of. Specifically, before purchases can qualify for the promotion, players must first download the Arcade Offer gamer picture to register for the giveaway (the Xbox.com download link for the registration image is currently broken, but it's the first link listed here).

The listing of qualifying titles is a double-edged sword. While the picks are mostly great, I pretty much own everything that qualifies and I suspect a few of you are in my shoes. If you're missing a few games from your collection and like saving a few bucks, this might be the deal you've been looking for. The droids in the image above? Those aren't the droids you're looking for.
