As I posted yesterday on my twitter account, the price for XBOX live arcade titles are out of control. I was truly interested in purchasing Lode Runner until I learned it was $15. It went from a buy to a complete skip based on the price. I'm not quite sure what is going on over at Microsoft or whomever is determining this ridiculous pricing for arcade titles, but the pricing needs to level back out. Most arcade titles in the beginning were either $5 or $10 respectively, but now most are $15 or $20 with the occasional $10 game mixed in. Then Microsoft has the audacity to post a video on XBOX Marketplace telling gamers how to save money during these tough economic times. I'll tell gamers how to save money during these tough economic times, stay the fuck away from XBL Arcade titles. I guess I'm just spoiled buying IPhone games. Most are $5 or less and some of the better games are $1 or less. As I posted last week, I'm not sure why the XBL version of Scrabble is more expensive than the IPhone version and the same goes for quite a few games. I had truly hoped that the App Store from Apple would level out the prices across other platforms, but that has apparently failed.
digg me!!!
