    If this is true then... 1800 points ($22.50). Thats kinda steep. I knew that it would be more than the usual 800, but this is just a bit too much.

    Would anyone consider not getting it if this is to be believed?

    Depends on how much I'd like the demo I suppose.

    Chill out, that is the price for Japan, where the dollar is worth more than than Yen.  Microsoft is probably just compensating for that change in currency worth.  Also, Castle Crashers is completely worth any price they give it due to all of the content packaged in the game.

    Yea i just heard this and freaked out abit until i realized it was Yen like bman3737 said but im thinking about 1200 or 1600 even but i still think thats pushing it, i cant wait ive been looking forward to this for months but even 1600 points is pushing it, Microsoft is so money hungry they think they can get away with such radicall price points but what people need to do is not buy it (if its 1600 or more) and then they'll realize and hopefully drop the price

    okay, yeah, I heard this just now, too, from the same source. and DAMN. If Castle Crashers is $22.50, I'll still buy it, and play the hell out of it. But I was expecting 1200 at the worst, not 1800. I have enough faith in The Behemoth , and enough excitement reserved for this game that I'd probably buy it for a whole lot more...just don't tell M$ that...

    To totally weigh in on the situation, I had to see the game in action.
    It is worth $50. 1800 points would be a steal.

    Just wrote about this on my site..Very happy that it was finally made official because I was getting sick of people going around and saying it would cost 1800MS points. That was just crazy talk.

    I'm actually suprised Bionic Commando was only $10.  They're losing alot of money on a great product (they have to sell a large number just to break even) simply to appease the whiny masses.  The fact of the matter is, Braid, BC: Rearmed, and Castle Crashers are all worth at least $15.  You're getting much more of a game than the previous $10 XBLA outings.  These games all would have been $40 on a disc last generation, and people wouldn't have batted an eyelid.  They've basically been spoiled by the loss-leading prices MS instituted early on to make XBLA popular.
