I don't think we will ever see deals of that level in the console marketplace, just because sales numbers at full cost don't justify discounting. PC gamers tend to be a bit tighter in the purse (and have a simpler piracy option), so discounts are required to keep sales numbers up and discourage piracy. Consoles however have a more invasive piracy option (chip mods) that disable the devices online use, and cost money to have installed.
Games that need a sales boost (sleepers, less popular genre games) you might see getting $10 off/price cuts on the downloadable market place, but I wouldn't hold my breath that big-name titles will see 50-66% off sales like they have on PC.
