    Default More XBLA games get price cuts. (joystiq)

    http://www.joystiq.com/2007/09/24/so...et-price-cuts/

    This time Frogger (from 400 to 300pts.), Hardwood Spades (400pts to 300), and Bankshot Billiards 2 (1200 to 900pts, which is still too high, if you ask me)

    But only for a limited time, so act fast!

    I already have Bankshot Billiards 2 and Spades. I'm not paying $4.25 for Frogger.

    Fuck that noise.

    Lame. I want more 200pt games!

    Why is Bankshot Billiards so expensive?

    Many of the early XBL Arcade games are terribly over priced. I'll contribute it to that.

    The only XBLA game I've bought so far is Feeding Frenzy. Too expensive considering there is no shortage of games at my house already.

    I just checked cheapassgamer, and it looks like all of the games have price cuts that are 25% more than announced. Had I paid 600 for Bankshot Billiards (I got it free), I would have been happy with it. I's a very solid pool game if you like that kind of thing, I haven't played it in a while, but I think there is camera support now too. Frogger is great for 200 points. I'm not sure about Spades though...

    I remember reading somewhere that BB was partway through its development cycle as a $30 budget retail release, when it switched to a $15 XBLA release target instead. Using that logic, half price doesn't sound so bad ... and I'm sure it sounded good to everyone at that meeting
