Has just had it's price announced. Instead of the standard 800 MS points, it will cost 1800, or $22.50.

You can count me out for this one, I can buy dead rising or fear for another $7.00.

Damn, that's steep... (none / 0)

I've been waiting for this game on XBLA for awhile. I even spoke to the guys at Behemoth at Comic-Con. $22.50 for an XBLA game is a lot of coin. I will have to wait for the reviews on this one before I pull the trigger.

Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

Incorrect Pricing... (none / 0)

It might be a little too early to breathe a sigh of relief, but things could be looking up for Castle Crashers and Braid. Both were recently listed on the official Japanese Xbox 360 blog for the relatively high prices of 1800 ($22.50) and 1200 ($15.00) points respectively. According to Shacknews, Microsoft has denied these prices, noting that they are "incorrect for both domestic and international markets." Microsoft adds that the official prices will be revealed on the Mondays before Braid and Castle Crashers release dates, which are August 4 and 25 respectively.

I was looking forward to this one. Well, I'll wait till there's a price drop. If not, no buy.
