It launched at $29.99 everywhere, which is a great launch price for this type of game. its always nice when a developers recognizes an appropriate price point.

@Tachyonic Cargo

A few things:
1) No they aren't randomized, but that is to create a more fluid game, like in The Ride. Replayability won't be hurt unless you go through all 60+30DLC games every week.
2) Yes people online cheat, but I wouldn't see the value of playing a trivia game like this online, ever. Unless it's the first time everyone sees the question, there will always be cheaters. This is meant to be played next to friends with a round of beers.
3) It launched at $30, so it's not a big drop. It's was definably worth $30, and you can't pass it up at $20 if you liked any of the other YDKJ games.

@Tachyonic Cargo
It is true, but:
1) This way, you know which episodes you've already played, and hence which questions you've done. You won't run into duplicate questions without knowing about it ahead of time.
2) They're able to have inter-question connections and stuff, such as a story arc about Cookie trying to set up a party, and having the dialogue and questions revolve aorund that.
3) If you're playing with random people online, you're playing it for the wrong reasons. You're playing it to have a good time with your friends.
4) It actually launched at $30, not $40. Great price for 73 episodes (10 questions including a dis-or-dat, plus a jack attack) that take 15 minutes apiece to go through with friends. Plus, they've already got 3 DLC packs on the go, at $5 apiece for 10 episodes if you run out.

Did you like You Don't Know Jack back in the day? Yes? Then get this, because it's just as good as it was, if not, better.

Thanks for the input guys, that's all I needed to know.

Anyone who's ever played Buzztime Trivia in a bar knows that it can be fun to play trivia games against strangers and try to make the national leaderboard. My GF and I played Buzztime twice this week alone, and last night we came in #40 and #86 nationally on one game.

But that's only available in bars. I wish that there were a game like that available for Xbox Live, because we'd play even more if we could (going out gets expensive). I was excited when I heard YDKJ would have online play. But the non-random episodes make it useless for online play, and I think they might as well have just left that part out. Also, a trivia game with only 700-800 questions is really kind of sad by most trivia game standards.

That said, even with just the two of us playing, it's still a bargain at $30, a steal at $20. We bought it in hopes that they'll produce more episodes and maybe even another sequel.

We get $10 less on games, you have 10,000,000 less murders a year. I'd call that an even trade.

@Punkrawk Bbob

Where I'm from we pay double for games and only have 5,000,000 less murders :( not fair!

@sigma8
Also, what about the other versions. PC and DS.. Does the PC get anything extra? Does the DS also have the DLC? There's no sale on those, but they still might be better values for me, in terms of playing it at friend's places.

@sigma8 Go with the 360 version if you have one as it supports the DLC unlike the Wii version, and pick-up the Big Button Pads with it to make the control experience better with friends. If not, the Wii version is fine, but lacks DLC.

@sigma8 PC version has no online play, the PS3/360 versions do. Not sure about the wii version, but I kinda doubt that it does

@Typhojd Region locked on the 360 and Wii only.

@Samz2 /sadface, cheers for the info saves me blowing a few quid.

@Typhonic

The console game is way more valuable. Couch game with big screen vs desk game with small screen.

But I nabbed this one for $20, solid game.
