XBLA: Like a PSP without the crappy UMDs

Lumines is an amazing game. I ask EVERYONE here to buy it. kthxbye.

Also, it will cost extra for online play. You will have to pay extra for something like an "online pack". Yes it sucks, but Lumines isn't for online anyways!

UMD's weren't that bad of an idea, just their pricing was. At $8-10US they would've been awesome, but for the same cost as a DVD Sony can lick the dingleberries from my taint.

Hopefully this arcade game will be fun and multiplayer will be included at one low price.

Yea, I found this out by browsing IGN, which had some updates on Lumines 2 for PSP. When I saw the videos and screenshots, I thought, "This is Lumines Live, in every way" (since I saw the screens quite awhile back and the video that was released on GameVideos.com). Plus, from GameStop.com, Lumines 2 will be $39.99 on PSP, while its 1,200 MSP (or $15), so we are getting the same exact game for $25 less. So you definitely can't complain about the price with this one.

Can't wait for this to come out on XBLA, I been hearing about how Lumines is a great puzzle game but I haven't played it yet though. But from seeing from the videos, it looks really good.

It better be only $15 because I already Pay $50 a month for Live.
I love the slant that goes onto opinions of a fanboy.

Figuring out how to Port a game from PSP to XBox360... Easy.
Microsoft Figuring out how to make Games or Memory cards Backwards Compatible... Impossible.

Well, Scott, its $50 a YEAR and you DON'T need to pay for a Gold account to use the Marketplace.

Also, the only reason I brung this up because I didn't expect them to be the same exact game, and the fact the price difference is big.

Also, you sound like a troll with your comment, because its psychically IMPOSSABLE to do backwards compatibility without the hard drive, because it has to emulate the partitions used in the 8GB hard drive in the Xbox. Remember that the HDD in the Xbox was mandatory for the system to run, so it can't emulate the system with out it. Unless Microsoft made a 8GB memory unit, which would be insanely expensive, then its impossible. Also, many games on Xbox used cache, which makes them impossibile to run without a HDD.

This is a game I've always wanted, but refused to pay that price for a puzzle game on the PSP. It's still NOT a classic (price reduced) title, which just amazes me.

Xfan, no need to be amazed. If a title is still selling well, there's little incentive to drop the price. Halo for Xbox was full price for years, well into the release of Halo 2, even though it had achieved 'greatest hits' status 10 times over.

I'm just glad I won't have to play it on that puny screen anymore.

LOL @ the Sony fanboy trying to justify paying $40 for a $15 game.
