Limbo, Trials HD and Splosion Man retail pack in Europe on May 13

The XBLA "Triple Pack" retail bundle, featuring the critically adored trio of Limbo, Trials HD and Splosion Man, will be available in Europe on May 13. The pack's North American release date was previously announced as being April 19.

The North American price had been confirmed at $29.99, but there is currently no official price for Europe and the UK. The European edition will also include a 48-hour Xbox Live Gold trial and 160 MS Points ($2). That's a decent deal, and it reinforces what we're always saying: Who needs the internet?

Trials HD Rides Into Retail

Arcade 'Triple Pack' brings best-sellers to store shelves

March 28, 2011 (Helsinki, Finland) - RedLynx (HYPERLINK "http://www.redlynx.com/"redlynx.com) today announced that Trials HD, its award-winning Xbox LIVE Arcade game, is coming to retail stores as part of a new Microsoft 'Triple Pack.'

The 'Triple Pack' bundle will be available in North America on April 19, Europe on May 13, and Japan on May 19, for a suggested retail price of $29.99. Along with Trials HD, the 'Triple Pack' includes Splosion Man and LIMBO, two other popular XBLA titles. It will also include a 48-hour Xbox LIVE Gold trial and 160 Microsoft Points.

"Having Trials HD available at retail is exciting," said Tero Virtala, CEO of RedLynx. "While Trials HD is in many ways the poster child of the digital download revolution, we understand that there are still many gamers who only purchase games through traditional retailers."

"Thanks to our partners at Microsoft, all Xbox 360 owners now have a chance to check out the Trials experience, along with two other great games."

So coooooool. I hope they keep doing these.

@Acosta02

What a great cover, too! I don't know if I've ever seen a game compilation with such a well-designed cover.

@CheesecakeJones

Yeah, you are absolutely correct! I guess I can see how Limbo looks dominant, though; maybe it's just the new hotness? Looks nice regardless.

@Acosta02 splosion man should get top billing and be in the center. limbo was overrated imo.

@ravissimo Look at it this way... even the force third shutter route could not contain any part of Splosion Man. If they tried any other way, he'd just destroy the rest of the art.

I've already got Trials on Steam and I found the demos of the other 2 to be not that good so I don't want the full versions.

@VeeDeeVee Missing out.

@VeeDeeVee ....aaaaand you have to announce this why?

@trickybuz93
Because this is a forum?

@SuperWoody64

No, this is Patrick.

wow these are all pretty much the best Xbla games ever!!!! anyone who doesn't already have 'em needs to get this!

Awesome, awesome pack of games right there. However, you could get these for a lot cheaper during the special deals they have ran in the past.

I was just thinking, they should do this in themes instead of just releasing random games. I guess it doesn't really matter, but a Trials, Splosion Man, and Super Meat Boy pack would make a lot more sense.

@Uncle Jesse

Yeah that occurred to me, too. And then Maybe Limbo+Braid and uhhhhhh... Shadow Complex. Fits right in.

@Uncle Jesse
Yup, I got Trials for 5 bucks, Splosion man for 2. Still need to pick up Limbo, but even if I paid full price for it I still paid way less than this combo pack.

48-hour Xbox Live Gold trial?? Sweet! I am going to get some meth to get my monies worth.

Sill waiting for limbo on steam

Microsoft published Limbo, it's Xbox exclusive forever.

If it gets good, original games more exposure, I'm all for it.

Does seem like Limbo got too much of the cover art area, though.

neat. one day I'll have another 360

I already have Splosion Man, but would definitely think about picking this up after a price drop or sale at $20 or so.

Does it come with all the DLC?

This really is a great idea and if they bundled shadow complex with some other games, I'd pick that up too. I don't even mind paying more or repurchasing some of these games to have a physical copy of them. MS might have just found their response to all the HD compilations the PS3 is getting.

i've already bought and played all 3. microsoft, want to send me this 3 pack free? i'll pay for shipping. that's what telltale games does. buy the digital copy, pay shipping and the dvd is yours free.

What can you buy for two bucks on XBL?

Other than lame avatar items...

@Red Runner well my impattient little friend, you could just save the points and earn more on bing or something.

@Red Runner One or two Rock Band songs.

I already own all three but it wouldn't hurt having these awesome games in a disc for keeps.
