"Everywhere you look these days, the price of games seems to be falling. Everywhere, that is, except on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service. Here, prices have been slowly creeping upwards, with the majority of new releases now selling for $15 or 1200 Microsoft Points. A few months ago, the standard price was a more reasonable $10 or 800 points, a price that many fans have told us put XBLA titles in the "spontaneous purchase" sweet spot.
Those days are behind us, and it is nearly impossible to find a newly released game for under 1200 points. "
A new Flock trailer highlights the game's charming system and features more gameplay footage of this casual bird-collecting sandbox.
EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

Should you look back far enough and manage to take your mind away from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, what you may well remember is a small, online-only multiplayer adventure that lit up the Xbox Live Arcade – Battlefield 1943."
Great little game but yet again, no offline bots so once the servers went, so did all its players. What a waste.
I'm amazed that they can even think of charging $15 for something like Outrun in the current economic climate. That game is totally not worth 1200 points, and it is still not as bad as Lode Runner!
SOme games are worth the 1200 points, But I don't buy enough arcade games because of the reason that I think they are overpriced. So what makes them think I will be purchasing stuff for that much.
I'm a cheapass, so the lower the price, the better. I can't start discriminating XBLA games because then I would've made a fallacious error somewhere in reasoning like "better games cost more", or "give some money to the devs for their work". I'm just a straight up cheap ass and I want it my way. Great games for dirt cheap.
They let games sell for more money and have any file size and because publishers want things to be equal they jack up the price once they get the okay from MS to adjust the file size limit on LIVE to match PSN file size and price.
im not complaining i dont have a but load of money to spend but if the game is good then ill buy it now if it is more than 1200 i wont buy but if its 1200 or below im good
