Why not just go for the 4,000 points for $35 deal at Dell right now?

This game sounds awesome. Consider it bought. Don't care how much it is, won't wait for a sale, won't try the demo. I'll wake up early that Wednesday morning and buy that sucker.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Yep, I'll get that one too. Love Splosion Man.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Wow. Times like these I'm glad I don't buy XBLA games very often. I'm in for a bunch of these next week!

Awesome deal, but I don't know how many cards I'll be buying after this (long unrelated story) one, and I'm not 100% sure I would get the card from Dell in time. :D

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
BTW : I think it's NOT Splosion Man DLC. You can see in that image at the IGN video above that there's a Splosion Man arcade cabinet in Capt Smiley's lair. I think it's a couple of levels to play in the extras of Comic Jumper game, in that virtual arcade cabinet. Not that it makes that much difference, but if someone were foolish enough to not already own Splosion Man (and with next week's $5 off sale, there's really no excuse), it looks like you could still play the new levels.

That looks pretty awesome.

@Splosion_Man goes on SALE next week! Get it half-off while you can so that you can play the FREE DLC that comes with @Comic_Jumper!!! |

I doubt they would be pushing that you need to buy Splosion Man in order to play the extra stuff. That would seem shady.
Again, Behemoth already did this for Alien Hominid in Castle Crashers. Incentive != Shady. It's a slim shady, at worst. |

There's already a demo for 'Splosion Man, so there's no need for it to be free for everyone in Comic Jumper.

I doubt they would be pushing that you need to buy Splosion Man in order to play the extra stuff if in fact you didn't. I think it is going to work as DLC and you'll actually need to have Splosion Man to use it. I think it would be shady of them to say what they did and then turns out you just play the levels in Comic Jumper. (Which I don't see being the case.) Castle Crashers opened up content for Alien Hominid? |
Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
No, owning AH-HD (or maybe just having a save) allowed you to play as AH in CC.
I do agree that CJ extracting new level DLC for SM makes far more sense than including the SM engine in CJ. |

No contest. Just pointing out that it wasn't shady or unprecedented. This was before you freely admitted to having an omission of thought.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Well, again, my original comment was based upon a miscommunication :)
I do think it'll be DLC for the older game and not a mini-game in the newer game. I did not, until now, go so far as to consider THAT precedent, but merely the concept of a developer giving you incentive to buy an old game with something free with the new game. You're right, for this particular case I can't think of a precedent. |

So can we not agree that we should all let Twisted Pixel impregnate us?
I thought The Maw was pretty good and Splosion Man was about 100 times better. If Comic Jumper isn't at least 100 times better than Splosion Man, and therefor by definition 10,000 times better than The Maw, I will be very disappointed in them. ;) |

There's a much verbal jargon going on in this last page. I'm getting turned on.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Do you know if the cards exactly the same except for the codes under the pull tab? (IE, could I buy one from a store and then return the Dell one when I get it?)

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
I guess for the sake of completeness, someone should put the actual Summer Of The Arcade line-up here :

What can you look forward to this year? Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Limbo, and Monday Night Combat. |

Whole bunch of new XBLA achievement sets have posted. Coupled with the pre-E3 hush-hush of what's coming up, I think it's safe to say we'll be getting at least one of these each week. Perhaps you'd like to arrange them into your own Summer of Arcade Twenty-Oh-Ten lineup?
Earthworm Jim HD Limbo Risk Factions The Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge Space Ark

For the Summer of the Arcade promotion, I'd guess we'd see five of these six:
Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Comic Jumper Risk Factions Puzzle Quest 2 Earthworm Jim HD Limbo Since Monkey Island wasn't part of the SotA promo last year, I'd doubt the sequel would be this year either.
