How does 350 points = $2.80? I thought 1600 points = 20 bucks?

You are right, they made a mistake: 350 points = $4.37

I play Bomberman enough (online and off) that it's worth it to me, hopefully they clear up the price point soon.

I think they meant (hopefully) 300 points.

I know it's only $3 but I'm not buying it. The game is fun enough as it is.

That's kinda where I'm at. I don't think the new content would add that much to the fun factor.

Just downloaded the Boom Boom Rocket trial - fun game! This might be my first XBLA purchase...how are the rest of the songs? MP fun?

300 points = $3.75 (and 350 points = $4.38). Remember, divide by 80, not 100. It's tricky that way, those sneaky MS guys.

Since I bought the PSP Bomberman for $4.99, paying $4.38 for minimal bonus content sounds a little pricey.

New Demos Out:

Blazing Angels 2
Madden 2008
Tiger Woods 2008

Argh, my new console has been listed as "Shipped" since Friday, but when I look up the tracking number it still just says "Billing Information Received".

Oh, thanks for the TW08 demo update....I will have to try that.

Blazing Angels 2 just seemed like another flying game to me, nothing too special about it....but that is just me, I can get annoyed with those games.

Although i could totally get behind a new Crimson Skies. The one on the Xbox was an awesome flying game.

Crimson Skies 2 would be the bomb yo! I'm really surprised they haven't milked that franchise to death. It was pretty popular when it came out and i've always wondered when another would hit shelves.

The other songs are just as good IMHO. There is also a cool visualizer option that generates fireworks to the beat of your own music. Can't comment on the MP.

I thought the original Crimson Skies pretty much tanked commercially (??), but yeah I'd be behind a sequel as well.

The Bomberman DLC price has been clarified as 250 points!

I could be wrong, but I always thought that it was a fan favorite, good seller, and highly reviewed. But maybe I'm blinded by my love for the game. It is perhaps my most played xbox game after Halo.

It was a very expensive game to make (they even tried to get Harrison Ford to star in it but it proved cost prohibitive), and although sales numbers are kept hush-hush it was my understanding that it kind of tanked. The MSRP dropped quickly which is always a sign of a game not selling well.

Heh, the dreaded shipped on Friday. Likely, they sent billing info to UPS on Friday and have the box waiting for pickup. UPS will get it on Monday then start its trip to you.

Well it is Tuesday now and it is still showing up as "Billing Information Received".

Yeah that was the impression I got too. To be honest, after playing more advanced and realistic dogfight games like Blazing Angels, it made it difficult to take Crimson Skies so I traded it. But while I had it it was one of my favorite games and a blast online.

I'm one of the few, if any, here on dvdtalk who loved Blazing Angels. I played the BA2 demo the other day and it was ok. I found the controls weird and since I haven't played the original for some time now, I can't tell if the controls were changed.

Anyway, I hear people are going crazy over the Demo's online multiplayer but there are some complaints about how the HUD was changed.

The Tiger Woods demo was fun as hell but then again I have bought the game every year and played the hell out of it. I am used to swinging with the right thumbstick and in the demo you can either swing with the left or do the 3 click swing. I am very tempted to get the game but none of my friends every pony up the cash so I am always stuck on single player. My rental copy is on its way to me but resisting the urge to buy it will be very tough.

I liked the first one for it's single player missions more then the multiplayer mode. Just couldn't get into the online mode at all.

Yeah I hear you. I liked online but I would often have my ass handed to me. Of course, whenever I get my ass kicked online I would just blame "Lag".

Anyone that is looking to get a HD-DVD drive might want to act now, you can get the unit for 360 with 9 movies (5 after MIR) for $180.
