O.O oh my god that game is 1800 points?!?!?! Are they insane? I'm all for trying before I judge but I refuse to pay that much for a arcade game I just can't justify it.

I think some people are missing the point,

The game is 1800 point but, to buy it you have to get the 2000 point pack ($25) or 2 1600 point cards ($40)

Nether being $22.50 or what ever the random price point is.

And to that, and not the price because to be honest this game looks better than most retail games, I say FUCK that and Microsoft Points all together.

Now excuse my French

Awww crap, its starting to look like I'm only going to get Bionic Commando Rearmed. Twenty and fifteen bucks just seem like a little too much for an XBLA game. I think I'll wait for them to be entered into the XBLA hits program.

I don't mind paying extra but 1800 points seems like an odd price point. Why not do it at 1600 Points? ($20) That way people without credit cards can just buy 1600 Point cards and get the game. At 1800, it forces the buyer to get more points then they desire. This is often the case when getting 800 Point games, but then again ... those are half the price. It's strange .... we wait and wait and wait for Castle Crashers, then they bash you over the head with the oddest price point XBLA has ever seen.

Even with the credit card you can only by points in 5 dollar increments.

I think everyone is here is overreacting to this price. If 20 bucks turns you away from a game you might want to consider a new hobby.

I was all lined up to buy both Braid and Castle Crashers. I would have stretched to 1200 points, *maybe*.

Now, not so much.

Unless, of course, they have different prices on US release...

Isn't it quite possible that it could be priced differently for Japan and America? Just a thought to get some people's hopes up lol.
