Please, please pick me.

I'm the biggest MGS dork but don't have enough scratch to play this game (I'm a poor grad student trying to get into law school :(

local indie gaming shop in Toronto; Game Centre (that's how it's spelled in Canada, eh?)

Penny Arcade Adventures priced at $20, specs released

What's wrong with 20 for episodic content? That's how much Half Life 2 episodes have cost up to this point at retail and on steam.

Joystiq's C. Grant said he'd pay full price 60USD for Portal like games. I think that's a bit extreme, but games like the psp God of War and Metal Gear Solid 1 make a good argument for quality of quantity.

As I get older (and have less time to play games) and as games take longer and longer to develop, I think high quality (with attendent price) episodic games aren't a bad proposition.

Final note: if three of these episodes add up to the an acceptable length for a standard priced game, why shouldn't the price also be a 1/3?

Friends, let's point our cannons at EA and the chicanery that it's trying to pull with Bad Company.

I think Oblivion's expansion: Shivering Isles cost more (30USD) and came out sooner (last year some time) than this Penny Arcade game on XBLA.

I'm sure you could confirm this on XBLA marketplace quickly. I don't have and 360, I can't myself.

Oh. and as Grim pointed out, that billards game came out at the same price point as well.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I think it's a mistake to speak as though this is a signicant shift on XBLA.

In fact, I'm all for it. I'd love to see, say, the chopped up bits of Orange Box offered up on XBLA for 20-30USD (whatever the price is on steam)
