Banjo-Kazooie is releasing next week for sure. No mention of VOOT that same day.

Hey. Lode Runner ended up at $10 after all. I was awake early and played the demo for a minute.. I might get it if someone else is up for some co-op. I got some nice C64 memories from playing the demo!
I'm also tempted by Flock at $10. I did find elements of the game frustrating during the demo, but I did have some fun with it. |

Oooh, tempting. Also, there is currently a deal at Amazon where if you buy 4000 points at regular price ($50), you get a $10 credit in the Live store, meaning you could buy flock + 4000 points for $50. Great deal if you need points.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Hm, I'm all over Lode Runner at 800 points. Definitely brings back some good C64 memories.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Went ahead and ordered 1600 points from Amazon.
|
The main game page for Lode Runner on the Xbox Marketplace at xbox.com showed 1200, but then only 800 to checkout.
I'm in at 800. :) |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Shit shit. Should I just go in blind before they correct?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Fuck it, I will too. At least I know I have plenty of people to play with.
Sorry An error has occurred during the transaction. Please try again later. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I knew that deal was something I should jump on before I even tried the demo in case they changed it while I waited -- it just felt like a price mistake. Honestly this game is worth 1200 points; it's pretty impressive. Still glad I got in at 800. :dance:
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
So the price is officially changed now? That's odd. OH WELL. :lol:
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Officially at 1200 on the web XBLM.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Dammit. I just finished playing the demo at lunch and got an error message on the console when I tried to buy. Looks like the site is fixed now as well. I guess I'll get it in six months when it's back to 800. :lol:

Now I don't care how good the demo is, I'm going to be too pissed to buy it at 1200 tonight! |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
The demo is good. It sold me, just not at $15.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I just played the demo and remembered that I didn't like this game the first time and don't like it now. It's not a bad game but I just don't like it for some reason . How about a Solomons Key remake.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I'd be down for a new Solomon's Key.

From Joystiq:
We don't know if this is some new marketing tactic by Microsoft, but Lode Runner is now 800 ($10) on the Xbox Marketplace, instead of the previously announced 1200 ($15) -- oddly enough, it's still $15 for a code from Amazon. We're not ones to poo-poo providence, so we'll take the 33 percent discount and like it. Well, actually, we did poke the sleeping lion to find out about the surprise "discount." Hopefully, doing so won't spur a price hike. If it does -- yeah, totally our bad. Update: Lode Runner is now priced at 1200 ($15). See what happens when you demand we be thorough, follow-up reporters? But, in all seriousness, here's what Major Nelson had to say about the seesawing release: "This was incorrectly priced at 800 points. That has since been corrected." But is it correct? |

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Rule #2 : YOU DO NOT CALL ABOUT A PRICE MISTAKE!
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Rule #3: If you did call about a price mistake, don't post about it on a deal site!
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I was gonna get it for $10. Now, I'll pass.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
And this is yet another reason why joystiq is fucking retarded.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I wonder how many bought it because it was $10 and then they won't like it. ;)
