3. I wondered why it was so expensive when I emailed Knuckles earlier today too..I wonder if there's file sharing involved of some kind? Larger MB file?
What about the black UN helicopters? Chupacabra? Ingredients to SPAM? And while I'm at it, just WHAT THE HELL actually DID happen to Bea Arthur???

4. No arcade title should be more than 800 points.

5. You know you really just can't please some people. $15 is at least half the price of the portable versions. That's what I call a bargain.
6. Here's where everyone complains and then buys it anyway. Some will buy it while sober and some will buy it while drunk, but the price point won't keep everyone from buying it. Just people who are cheap, like me.
7. I gotta disagree with Gemini. XBLA should have as few restrictions as possible. Bigger, more expensive games are great! As long as they don't get rid of the cheap stuff and do only expensive stuff, I'm totally down with more variety and higher quality.

8. 1200 seems a bit steep for a puzzle game even with the RPG elements. Based on playing the trial and word of mouth I'll probably still pick it up as it's one of the titles I've been looking forward to on the arcade.

9. I'm buying it. I already own the DS version - which I paid $7 for because of a $25 gift card at Best Buy :p

10. "1200 seems a bit steep for a puzzle game even with the RPG elements."
Except when you consider it's half-price from the DS and PSP versions, as well as the upcoming PC version. Jesus, what a cheapskate.

11. The game is really expansive and easily beyond most of what XBLA has to offer. We're talking a game people were happy spending $30+ on just months ago. It's hardly a rip off.
12. I have my handheld version (DS) and will get the Xbox version AND I'll get the PC version at some point for my laptop. :D

13. This game is really worth those meager 1200 points. It's totally addictive, super long, and it should have online puzzle battles.
Definitely worth it.
14. Lumines was 1200 points but tried to pretend not to be by hiding some of the game in a content pack. I'd rather the pricing just be straight forward about it.
15. I'm absolutely buying it. It's cheaper than the DS version, looks better, and hell..if I don't like it, I end up saving about $15, having spent the 1200 points versus $30 for the DS version.
Puzzle game wise..I hope XBLA brings Shanghai.

16. I'm only disappointed because alot of people will shy away because of the price alone, even if it was $30 on ds and psp. It just looks expensive by comparison to the rest of the xbla library. The online vs. mode may be slim pickings if hardly anybody buys it.
I got strung out on the pc demo awhile back so they've already got my points. I needs my fix man!
17. A whole bunch? Um, no. That's $15. For the entire game as it appeared on the PSP, it's an incredible bargain.

20. I'm trading in my DS game to get this for XBLA. I've completed it once, so this is gonna be fun. There goes another 70hrs of my life :)

1. Not too bad, considering Puzzle Quest is $29.99-$35.00. You're paying less than half price.
