Update: Major Nelson confirmed with us that Portal: Still Alive will be priced at 1200 Microsoft points.
Attention -- the Aperture Science Enrichment Center cordially invites you back to experience its award-winning testing facility very soon on the Xbox Live Arcade. Play it again and for the first time with the complete original, 6 advanced maps and 14 new challenge maps. GamerScore Blog officially announced today that Portal: Still Alive will land on the marketplace on October 22. Unfortunately no price was revealed, which makes us think we're going to have to open the wallet wider than the average 800MS points. We can still dream, together.
[Thanks, HazyCloud]

I'm going to say it will be 15 or 20 bucks!

I'm not buying it unless it's 800 points. It's essentially Portal plus some DLC, and I already have the Orange Box.

If it costs more than $10-15, you might as well get a used copy of the Orange Box with the other 2 games and expansions, sans 14 extra challenges.

Sweet! I have been waiting for this and I am going to be downloading and playing it as soon as it's on XBLM.
Cost? that is no option! I will go on the record to say if it is 2000 points I will still be getting it (I also have the OB as well).
The cake is real!

Considering they'd only charge 5 bucks or free for Portal expansions on Steam it would be outrageous if they charged more than 10 dollars.

I have to buy it again, to play 14 extra maps...
...I guess if it's cheaper, o the same price as a Halo 3 Map Pack, it's a good deal in that respect.

The GS Blog post now says 1200 points. Could have been worse. Sucks that I've already played most of it.

1200 pts ($15.00) is a rip-off. Especially since you can get orange box which includes Portal (though not those extra levels) and Half-Life 2 and others, for under $30.00.

This is a good expansion, I enjoyed it when I played it. It's more challenging than the original, some of the maps are more like the advanced maps in Portal. It's not quite as compelling a story line as the original, partly because it uses recycled dialogue, but it is still enjoyable
Does seem quite harsh charging 1200ms points, when I got it free...
I think 400 or 800 would be reasonable; it is worth 1200 I would say, but because it is free for PC I can't see it being fair charging this for 360 owners...

What a rip! At the very least you should be able to just make it dlc if you own orange box, paying the 1200 ms if you dont own the game.
I will never pay 1200 for this.

Are you people on drugs? Must I always be the voice of reason?
This is not a rip-off. The PC version of Portal costs $20. So you are getting more for less, math is fun.
