XBLA in review 2011: Are prices increasing? If not why do we think they are?

It’s a sentiment we here at XBLA Fans hear often:, “1200 is the new standard”. Everyone seems to think that XBLA pricing has increased over time, It appears to be a fairly accepted idea so there must be some truth to it, right? We took it upon ourselves to do some research to find out if it actually is the case or just a case of a shared perception becoming accepted as fact.

1200 points is too many for a lot of these games but for some of these better titles it is an utter steal.

Was surprised to see that 800 was still the standard, even if 1200 has been on the rise.

BuffMordecai4888d ago

I would prefer that games would stay at 800 ms points because it makes an impulse buy easier, but as long as 1600 points doesn't become the new standard we should be good. Microsoft should also extend the size limit of arcade games to over 2GB, 4GB would be pretty good.

So excited for these prices to switch over to dollars and cents.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard4d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.
