Hydro Thunder Hurricane discounted on Xbox Live for the day

Arguably the best racing game on Xbox Live Arcade, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, is arguably the best "Countdown to 2011" deal on Xbox Live today — though, perhaps surprisingly, it's not up against much competition (now that Yaris has been scrapped). Despite XBLA seeming like a prime destination for arcade racers, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is one of only a handful of games on the platform that fits the genre. Thankfully, it's a good one — and even a great one for 400 points ($5) today (marked down from 1200).

Of course, you may be in the Marketplace for something different. Like a pet "mini-taur" for your Avatar? On sale for 120 points, you could make a case for it being the best deal of the day. (But you'd be wrong.)
