WTF? Why does Jeremy Bulloch get early access and how do you know and why is it news?

Apparently the following games have had permanent price drops:

Comic Jumper 1200 800
Puzzle Quest 2 1200 800
Quake Arena Arcade 1200 800
Droplitz 800 400

Additionally, Marble Blast Ultra was removed from the Marketplace as well as two Hudson titles Diner Dash and Dream Chronicles.

I'm liking the move away from the 1200 point titles

It is going to be a struggle to not get Heroes of Might and Magic right away... but I hate to not buy it on sale.

I don't think the M&M release is a Heroes game. It looks to be some sort of puzzle game.

It's a port of a DS puzzle game that was pretty amazing. It was developed by Capybara, makers of Critter Crunch (another fantastic puzzle game).

Yep. I borrowed the DS game from a sibling and loved it.

It is a really good puzzle/strategy game that is superior to Puzzle Quest on all fronts.

Has anyone got a line item on their rewards page about their 5% March rebate yet? Nothing for me and I was thinking today or tomorrow would be the day the system applies it since they do deposits on the 15th. Makes sense this would be the conclusion of the billing cycle, so to speak.

Some people have received there rebates according to CAG. One member contacted them and was told there working on the problem and hope to have it fixed by the 20th.

Cool. It's not break-the-bank critical or anything, just would be nice to have some idea if everything worked.

I haven't gotten back anything on my Rewards thing for the 5% back, and am wondering if it's only on things purchased via the Online Marketplace. That would truly suck if that was the case. Guess I'll find out on the 20th.

My Gold is about to run out and 40% off is the current deal to renew ($35) Is the deal sweeter if I drop to silver?

180 for me. I had 216 figured. Taking out the 800 for the gamertag change it comes to 176. So I guess they round up to keep away from it ending in anything but a zero.

Can't complain about that!

The price for an FX table going up kind of stinks. (unless I am mis-remembering the price of the other tables)

Yeah, the other tables are 200 points each. Kind of strange.

This one is from Mars, so import costs were higher.

You make it sound like a guarantee.

This just sounds too good to be true. I bet it's really hard to enter, and then the guy running the contest gives you crap if you try to promote the event via retweets. I mean, that's just the way it sounds to me, an unbiased observer...

No it's quite easy! All it takes is reading to know what to do. If Pinata can do it, so can you!

Ugh. If reading is required, then forget it! I'll just go masturbate instead.
