Once I get kinect I'll buy this. By then I'm guessing it probably won't even be $40 anymore.

I have a Kinect. I was going to get Fruit Ninja and this, but now I'm just going to get this. 
I love the Twisted Pixel guys, and will totally support their jump to retail. 

I don't know where all the hate is coming from, but the game looks fun. Plus there are numerous full priced games that are definitely shorter than whatever this one has to offer.  This price for a charming game from a fun developer plus an extra Fruit Ninja for me to give away is worth my money. 
Of course in the end it will all come down to if the game in the end is fun or not, which I'm sure we will all find out when it's released. 

I don't have a kinect but I am looking forward to hearing what the bomb guys have to say about this when they review it (assuming they will).

It seemed like they made the jump from arcade game to retail game a little too late in development for them to have enough content to fill what a $40 game should have.

In my opinion as someone who is not an employee of theirs (and thus am not privy to all the little important details) I feel like they should have just buckled down and got their game to 2gigs.

Wow. So not only did they lose my sale for Gunstringer by making it retail, they also lost my previously guaranteed Fruit Ninja sale during Summer of Arcade (because I'll feel like a sucker if I impulse bought Gunstringer down the line and had already purchased Fruit Ninja).

hmmm. now with the lower price and Fruit Ninja included I just might get this one. Not too many potential Kinect games out there and the thing is collecting dust..

Or if your Australian 89.95

I have a Kinect. If there is a Quick Look of this and think "cool," and if there is a demo for it I can try, then I'll think of thinking of getting it. I paid $30 for Dance Central and thought that was the perfect price point. Also, I despise westerns, so this is going well for me.

Nice to see it comes with another game.

That they overcharge you for.

The title of this article does not sit well with me, so I'll rename it "If The Gunstringer is sold, its buyer will pay close to $50 with tax."

Do you do that every time you look at a store's weekly flyer?

I would have bought it for 15

The question is does it have $40 worth of content?
