Lumines news...

It says the 30th here: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/community/calendar/week3.htm

Though I'll be holding off on buying the full game untill I find out if that have to pay to advance in the game thing is true.

What "pay to advance thing" for lumines? I hear so much about how fun this game is but I don't have a psp so I've never tried it. Any info would be beautiful. Would search back but 200+ pages is a little lengthy for me to be searching.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion

"When an Xbox Live version of Lumines was announced during Microsoft's pre-E3 press conference, many gamers were joyed to hear they would get their block-busting on in high definition. The game takes the popular PSP puzzle game to Microsoft's Xbox 360 with a variety of new features, including the ability to show licensed music videos as the background.

However, gamers knew the new additions weren't going to come cheap, and a leaked release schedule for Xbox Live Arcade (which proved only to be partially accurate), claimed the game would cost 1200 Marketplace points ($15). (Microsoft has still not yet released an official price for the game.) If gamers didn't like that piece of speculation, they certainly won't like the news that hit the Internet today.

Citing a review in the latest issue of OXM, Gamingbits.com reports that further charges to gamers will be made to advance in the game. According to Gamingbits, the review states that gamers will be "prompted to buy the Puzzle/Mission Pack" for 400 Marketplace points at some point during the game's mission mode. In the VS CPU mode, the Web site reports that OXM says that players will be "blocked by signage declaring: 'You need the VS CPU Pack'" for 300 Marketplace points. (As of press time, GameSpot was unable to obtain a copy of OXM for confirmation.) " (http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_bl...ic_id=24928329)

If this is indeed correct, I will not buy this.

I'd rather get the PS2 version for $30.

I have no problem with dropping 400-800 points on XBLA, but when you start getting close to $20 and such, I want something tangible in my hands and that gives me the ability in the future to trade or sell.

When your done, this game could cost $35 to have all the packs. I really hope that it fails and I hate saying that because this game is so awesome so that they learn you either release the whole game at a decent price point or don't bother.

It won't matter, because they will continue to release games on XBLA at these crazy prices, just watch.

Just remember, with Lumines, none of this is confirmed, it's all speculation. I'm waiting and seeing. But as of now, the game is 1200 points, which is $15. Nothing else has been mentioned, even the point total is a rumor.

Is it a rumor, I thought that it was true.

I hope that it is speculation, this is one awesome game to be had at $15, but not at $30+ with the way the rumors are spreading.

I look at it this way, even if it is $30, I can't get it cheaper anywhere else anyway. The PS2 version is $30, the PSP version was $50 when it came out. (maybe $40, I could be wrong there, but either way)

Far Cry demo is multiplayer only.
