Not too bad, considering Puzzle Quest is $29.99-$35.00. You're paying less than half price.

I wondered why it was so expensive when I emailed Knuckles earlier today too..I wonder if there's file sharing involved of some kind? Larger MB file?
What about the black UN helicopters? Chupacabra? Ingredients to SPAM? And while I'm at it, just WHAT THE HELL actually DID happen to Bea Arthur???

Here's where everyone complains and then buys it anyway. Some will buy it while sober and some will buy it while drunk, but the price point won't keep everyone from buying it. Just people who are cheap, like me.

I gotta disagree with Gemini. XBLA should have as few restrictions as possible. Bigger, more expensive games are great! As long as they don't get rid of the cheap stuff and do only expensive stuff, I'm totally down with more variety and higher quality.

1200 seems a bit steep for a puzzle game even with the RPG elements. Based on playing the trial and word of mouth I'll probably still pick it up as it's one of the titles I've been looking forward to on the arcade.

I'm buying it. I already own the DS version - which I paid $7 for because of a $25 gift card at Best Buy :p

Except when you consider it's half-price from the DS and PSP versions, as well as the upcoming PC version. Jesus, what a cheapskate.

The game is really expansive and easily beyond most of what XBLA has to offer. We're talking a game people were happy spending $30+ on just months ago. It's hardly a rip off.

I have my handheld version (DS) and will get the Xbox version AND I'll get the PC version at some point for my laptop. :D

This game is really worth those meager 1200 points. It's totally addictive, super long, and it should have online puzzle battles.
Definitely worth it.

I'm absolutely buying it. It's cheaper than the DS version, looks better, and hell..if I don't like it, I end up saving about $15, having spent the 1200 points versus $30 for the DS version.
Puzzle game wise..I hope XBLA brings Shanghai.

I'm only disappointed because alot of people will shy away because of the price alone, even if it was $30 on ds and psp. It just looks expensive by comparison to the rest of the xbla library. The online vs. mode may be slim pickings if hardly anybody buys it.
I got strung out on the pc demo awhile back so they've already got my points. I needs my fix man!

I'm trading in my DS game to get this for XBLA. I've completed it once, so this is gonna be fun. There goes another 70hrs of my life :)

"Lumines was 1200 points but tried to pretend not to be by hiding some of the game in a content pack. I'd rather the pricing just be straight forward about it."
Pffft, Lumines was 1200.. without the content packs. So it wasn't even pretending. With the main content packs, it's over 2,000 Points

I consider this a STEAL, and anyone who thinks otherwise should be bludgeoned.

They might as well package it up and sell it in stores.
And I agree, no XBLA game should be more than 800 MS Points.

C'mon, guys.
If you think $15 is too much to pay for a full-blown RPG, you better be a homeless guy using a public library computer.
I bought this for $35 on this DS, then sold it on ebay when I heard the Xbox Live version had online play, and I've been excited for it ever since.
$15 is an absolute bargain for this game.

1200 for Puzzle Quest isn't outrageous. That's an appropriate price. This isn't remake shovelware like all those old crappy Atari games they've poorly ported for $10 a pop. This is a real value and I highly suggest anyone pick this up. I love it (PSP version) and I paid way more for it.

Can. Not. Wait.
But please, MS, give us some time to recover from Halo 3 before this comes out. If this hits next Wednesday, I won't be playing it until January.

I can't believe people are complaining about this one. Lots of people go ahead and buy those stupid GH song packs for 500 points despite the fact that they are getting ripped, then wont pay 1200 for a game that is actually a great deal. This isn't "really expensive" it's a total bargain.

Do none of you realise for the money you're paying, you're getting something that has no physical packaging and negligible distribution costs, and is effectively locked down to your system and can't be traded in? Of course it should be cheaper, are darn sight more cheap! 1200pts is only expensive if you're going to play it for a couple of days and get bored of it.

This is the best game ever. It's well worth the $15 to play it on a big screen.

There's also a Wii version coming out, and that will be $30 like the DS/PSP and eventually PC version. So this is the cheapest version out there AND is the only one with online battles. It's more a FAIR price, then a high one.

It's not an arcade game stupid. It's a frikkin' full retail game with HD. Holy shit you have to be stupid to not buy this.

Except you're not paying $10. You're paying half that. If you're going to rant, rant correctly.

Can we all remember one central issue?
NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY ANYTHING. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY IT. IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED, SAY SO THEN JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I'm going to buy it, without even a trial. End of story.
