Oops, yeah, 1200 points.

Fixed.

Anthology, this should fix your Golden Axe problem:

Thanks Dirty that did the trick.

Sorry....... I won't pay a 50% mark-up just because the dev isn't sure he'll make his money back.

If Bioshock came out at $90 people would be bitching just as much as they are about braid.

This is nothing more than Microsuck trying to milk more and more money out of everyone. I don't think things should be free, but these ass hats nickel and dime more than a damn car dealership.

I thought the demo was pretty cool, but there is no way I will be buying this game at this price point. And all those who say the price is worth it have no right to complain that they deserve something back when it's price is dropped.

Comparing a $5 mark-up to a $30 mark-up is just insane reasoning.

For $5 maybe you skip a lunch one day, or pack your own rather than eating fast food or what have you.

And certainly if you're someone who holds a job, $5 every once in a while is not a big deal.

I'm also not going to complain if the price drops. That's like saying someone who bough the 360 launch day is going to complain when the price drops $50 in two years. I bought the game at the original MSRP, if it drops due to low demand then so be it.

If you'd rather wait it out that's fine by me, I'm not going to try and stop you, but I don't think that $15 is an unreasonable price of a game of such high quality.

50% is 50%
No matter how you try to justify it.

Um, there is no set "price for XBLA releases. Heck, you must be new to arcade because Bankshot Billiards launched at 1200 pts and didn't even have the 3-D view they added later.

When Jeff Minter released Space Giraffe at 400 pts, he did so risking higher sales (a new game for $5 US).

Lumines and Puzzle Quest also sold at 1200 pts.

It is up to the consumer, who has a free trial to play, to decide what THEY think the game is worth. Obviously you don't like it. Your opinion is not wrong, but it is not fact.

I like Braid. I thought it was boring until I figured out how to get the last 2 puzzle pieces on the first level. Then I thought it was awesome, and have since gotten all of the puzzle pieces available in the demo. The only thing holding me back is I want to be able to afford Bionic Commando, Castle Crashers, and this with my 3100 pts. We'll see how much Castle Crashers turns out to be.

Thanks for the info, Jace.

I really can't stand this dev. I can measure your game any way I damn well please, thanks, just like you can measure my barometer for spending my money (except I won't get offended if you call me a cheap-skate).

Hell, Braid is cool, but this guy is such a prick I wouldn't buy the game for 5 MS points.

I'm also in this boat I played the demo and simply didn't like it. Nothing against the game or the people that love just not something I enjoyed. Next week maybe will have the same opinion about Bionic Commando but regardless they already have my money next Wenesday.

The worst part is that the demo does not represent the rest of the game. The first world (world 2) doesn't involve any sort of time mechanics other than saving yourself from death.

***SPOILER ALERT***

World 3 has things that are unaffected by going back in time, World 4 has it so when you move forward, time goes forward and when you move backward time reverses and it stands still if you do, World 5 has a shadow that does whatever you just did once you rewind time, and world 6 has a ring that slows down time in the are you put it down.

***END SPOILER***

The mechanics are very interesting in the later levels and it makes for some very interesting puzzles.

Nope, it's $15. 80 MS Points = $1.00
