So the question becomes : If you can reasonably emulate Limbo in a free Flash game, does the criticism that Limbo could be a free Flash game or plays like a Flash game have some degree of merit? I'm not saying that I agree with that opinion, but it seems like a fair question.

I'm more curious to hear the defense of the current price point. I'd like to hear the explanation, because in my book if PB Winterbottom can have a totally original, beautiful art style and hours of brain-teasing puzzles and still cost 800 points, why can't Limbo as well? What does Limbo bring to the table to justify the higher price point?

On CAG, I kept hearing the statement "I got $15 worth of enjoyment out of it". I get that point and I certainly wouldn't begrudge someone from spending 1200 points on it. But that doesn't mean it's priced fairly. I would have certainly gotten $15 enjoyment out of Splosion Man or Peggle, but that doesn't mean they were priced too low, does it?

I'd still maintain that as a three hour game with almost no replayability it's probably too expensive, but 360voice shows that over 4000 members bought it day one, so it's a tremendous success despite the price (the second biggest XBLA game of the year, after Perfect Dark). That's probably the best argument in favor of the current price point.

Not looking to sell at the moment, but if I do Decker has first dibs on MUA2 DLC.
Hrmm, I'd sure like PQ2, but the only thing I got is a Ms. Pac Man code, hardly good enough barter :). I have some older sealed 360 games I'm trying to get rid of too (COD2, Outfit, stuff like that). Hrmmm, oh well.

I'll trade a Toy Story 3 movie ticket code for your Ms Pac-Man code, if you're interested.
