I just played the trial version and it's very fun. It seems awful high though. 1200 points. I don't like that.

I got bored of it fast on the PSP, so unless the wife wants it, I'll pass.

I'm reading now that the VS, puzzle and mission modes are locked. People think you need to purchase them, but it could be locked until you get so far. Not really sure, as you know everyone sees something locked and flys off the handle.

I tried to get on this morning before work. I got the madden roster update but I couldn't get to download games from the arcade. I kept getting an error. I was able to sign on to xbox live though.

They did, remember, those were rumors, nothing confirmed. Here it is, straight from www.majornelson.com.

Lumines tomorrow!!!

'Lumines Live!' for Xbox Live Arcade brings exciting new music, new video content, and 12 different skins, for hours of fun. The Xbox Live Arcade game features exclusive Xbox Live online multiplayer play, allowing you to play against your friends in head-to-head battles. “Lumines Live!” includes:

• Full online multiplayer play over Xbox Live – battle your friends head-to-head
• Classic Lumines gameplay, including Challenge, Puzzle and vs. CPU modes
• All-new Skin Edit Mode allows you to re-mix the order of your unlocked skins to create a custom Lumines experience

The full version of the game will be 1200 points. Plus an optional pack for 600 points will also be available that will allow gamers to change their music scene as well as choose from 22 new skins. I'll post the moment 'Lumines Live' is available on the Marketplace. The actual time of availability will depend how the rest of the maintenance goes

Yea now i remember. Its still $22.75 with the optional pack.

The optional pack is not up, it was a mistake I guess.

People are still reporting tons of missing features, this game sounds like a total bust.

Yeah, missing features that they want to cash in on.

I just hope people understand that it is going to cost $31.75 to get the whole game. After playing the trial, no thanks. I truly hope this game bombs so this won't happen again.

I agree. Man, these people need to slow down with trying to cash in on XBL. It's becoming very commercialized. Not a good thing.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion Part II

Lumines at around $19 is worth it. Pony up the Cash $$$.

Its not like paying $5 for a jersey and a stadium.

This game is worth and excellent from playing it on the PSP, but I feel like their really taking advantage of people on LIVE with these prices.
