While Ubisoft may have spilled the
beans in regards to
Prince of Persia Classic's releasing this Wednesday, Microsoft has caught up and officially confirmed that announcement, as well as price point. The updated title, with its snazzy new mazes, traps and
graphical enhancements, is going to run you 800 Microsoft Points. We suppose that could have been expected, but it still may turn a few off from the title. We'll have to wait and see if the demo pulls us in, nostalgic memories notwithstanding. What's your take on the game and price?

Excellent. Another $10 going from my wallet to XBLA games.

Never really interested me...plus its too expensive. I'd much rather buy a full game for $60.

Seriously, I own almost all the arcade games...but this is getting ridiculous. Wsy is every old ass game getting a 800 point cost? I have no problem spending $10 on a new original game, but to pay that much for anything 10 years older or more is bullshit. Damnit..I'll probably still buy it. Not pac-man again.

I consider this a bargain at 10 bucks.

It doesn't look worth of 10 US bucks... specially since the title doesn't even caught up with the original's quality animation. The animation in the trailer looked too clay-animation like, not even close to the original.
Maybe they've made it better in the final version, let's see.

#3 - If they released the original Prince of Persia without any graphical update, I would agree with you. But, they went and completely redid the graphics and it looks gorgeous IMHO. So, the $10 price is justified in this case I think.

From the looks of it, they redid more than just the graphics. The gameplay and the controls have been updated as well.
Worth the $10? Hell yeah! Where do I sign up?

Simpsons Arcade Game FTW!
This game isnt worth 800 Points. Wouldnt it be nice if Gold Subscribers got Arcade Games for half price?

This isn't just the old game with a filter on the graphics. They redid the graphics (including some very slick looking animation) and gameplay. Very significant additions. I think 10 bucks is warranted.
Now 10 bucks for Pac-Man, new mazes or not, is just plain stupid.

I'd actually rather get the original for 400, but I wouldn't really get that either...

This is a must-buy for me. I really thought I'd charge more.

IGN gave it an 8.6, said its one of the best live titles yet. I never beat the original, I'll pick it up and give it a spin.

Ah, Streets of Rage 2. Man that was a great game. I'd like to see that and some other titles (Phantasy Star, Golden Axe arcade, etc) out for Live.

Certainly looks pretty. I'll have to demo it first before buying.
I remember this from the Amiga days, the animation was amazing in it's time!

With the amount of re-work effort they put into this, $10.00 is a BARGIN! I would have paid $5 for the un-re-worked version, but this!!!! oh yeah...
