Castle Crashers begins, erm, crashing castles next Wednesday.

It feels like I've been waiting years on this game. Glad to see it's finally coming out.

Personally I don't think $15 is a sweet spot at all, $10 is enough to make an exciting-looking game an inpulse buy. Of course I've been anticipating this game for ages so I'll probably pick it up none the less, maybe Microsoft are banking on the "flavor of the week" fans to do just that.

Not really. This game is understandable because of how big and long it is.

2.4 - braid well worth it
and so will castle crashers shop around find somewhere cheep to buy points from if you really want to save money the best way is to find someone who gets a store discount.

This is costing me less than £8
for anyone living in the uk tesco's online sell points cheaper than most places

still amazed at the number of people who are always willing to defend paying for things. You really think that 15$ for a live arcade game is good?

Yes, depending what kind of game it is. Don't get me wrong I would of loved this game to be $10, but it's a big ambitious game.

3.5 - I'd rather it come out at $15
99% of everything at $10 bucks is crap, 100% at $5. You have a better shot at getting a good game so far if its priced at 15. Now for any mathematician who may be reading this post... hyperbole is gently being used in any figure above.

I was almost sure it would have been 1600 points, I think I'll just go ahead and buy braid now.. My 7300 points from Target's sale need to go somewhere.
It won't be so easy getting rid of them when I own a PS3 for Street Fighter 2 HD and such.

"Castle Crashers begins, erm, crashing castles next Wednesday. "

Actually, Galaga Legions comes out next Wednesday, with Castle Crashers releasing the week after.

9 - Good Price for this game
IMO this is a good (great would be 800 pts)price for this game. When I first bought Alien Hominid on my Gamecube its was $40, so picking it up on XBLA for 800 pts ($10) was a steal. This team makes great pick up and play games that make the time just disappear.
Also, think about this, if they release this game on the wii it will almost certainly be disc based and in the $40-50 price range. Food for thought.

10 - Too Pricey
Too Pricey for DLC. The Sweet Spot is $10.00. I know though it is only a matter of time before Games on DLC will be $20.00 and Retail games going for $69.99 in the USA.
