The Target I hit up had that coupon on display with a couple of others along with a sign reading "Due to rampant exploitation we are no longer accepting these coupons. Suck it bitches." or something like that.soldat7 said:
Very much so. It's The Behemoth's ode to Guardian Heroes like Alien Hominid was their tribute to Metal Slug.truly101 said:

Excellent. I would've bought it for 1600 anyway but this is nice.
Off topic but does anyone know anything about the Xbox Original game(s) of the month? I'm hoping it's something awesome (Stranger's Wrath) to make August the best Live game-download month ever.

Ooh, awesome news. I'll be picking this up once I'm finished with Braid and BC:R.
On a side note, the bitching about $15 games has got to be one of the most embarrassing things about the gaming community in recent months.

And I have to buy them for 60, that's about 90$. And I have to pay about 15 which is about 23 for a 1200 game. I understand that some games justify a higher price and Castle Crashers could possible be one of them but in Europe the price question works as a excuse. At least for me.

I'll buy BC:R for 800 points, I wouldn't have for 1200. It's just slight difference between a purchase, and an impulse purchase. If that difference convinces enough people like me to buy it, then it will have been a smart move. Plus people who buy the XBLA game are more likely to buy the next gen version too. It's about spreading word vs making a quick buck.
Castle Crashers at 1200 will need to convince me of it's worth. I look forward to the demo.

Thanks, you're my hero. I owed a friend 1600 points on a bet now it's like I only lose 10 bucks.

Sorry guys, don't get your panties in a bundle, but that coupon no longer works.
All this price whining is hilarious to me.
Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 = $10
Braid = $15
Bionic Commando: Rearmed = $10
Castle Crashers = $15
--------------
Total - $50
Thats four INSANELY amazing games for less than your random "full" release. I guarantee you every single one of the people complaining about prices of XBLA games this month have at least one or two games they spent $60 on and didn't play it for nearly the amount of time they'd spend playing these 4 quality games.
Anyways - count me in. I've been hyped for this for over 2 years now, $15 is a pittance when presented with such unadulterated awesome.

Anyone who thinks the high price is not an issue should read this thread. The mere fact that 90 percent of the posts about this cool looking game are about the price should tell the devs something.
I DO think that MS is slowly raising our expectations about the base price of XBLA games. 800 point games are the new 400 point games, 1200 the new 800 and so on.
The worse thing is, they're getting better at manipulating us.
XBLA staff meeting.
Staffer A: "I'd like to price CC at 1200 points."
Staffer B: "Won't they complain like they did when Braid came out at that price?"
A: "Hm.... I've got it. Let's release a rumor that we're going to price it at 1600 points. When they find out it's 1200 they'll be relieved and rush out to buy it."
Two days later..
B. "It worked. The neogaf forum folks are professing their love for us for pricing it at 400 points higher than it's worth!!!" You're a genius A.

I don't think they can hear that something over the steadily rising Braid returns.
