    So I have FINALLY gotten internet capablities for my 360 after having it for more than a year. Having just explored all the internet options on the 360 (getting the NXE, free Burnout Paradise updates, playing some online) it really is like having an all new console. However, Microsoft Points and buying stuff from the arcade is fairly expensive so I am asking for some advice on what to get.

    I have 1500 points (though will eventually get more) and will definitley buy some more points just to get GTA IV - Lost and Damned.

    So I am wondering what to get with my original 1500 points. My options are
    A bunch of Rock Band DLC, maybe 3 or so track packs
    Psychonauts (1200 points)
    Braid (1200 points)
    Fable 2 Knothole Island (unsure of cost)

    anything else people can think of? which of these should I go with? Is Braid a must have?

    I liked Braid, sure, but I'm the type who benefits more from the instant satisfaction of a Bionic Commando more than a Braid.

    You really can't go wrong with Rock Band tracks, though.  1500 would net you The Best of The Who.  And that's a good investment.

    Braid is good, although, I'd buy Castle Crashers. That game is very fun.

    I brought Braid when it was 800 pts and was underwhelmed with it, even though it's a good game Ii don't think it's a 'Must Play'

    Buy a game without achievements? (I'm aware that it is an XBLO, and a very good one)

    Castle Crashers, Braid, and Bionic Commando.

    All three of these XBLA games are great.

    mmm decisions decisions. I think Braid is the one I will get for now. I enjoyed the trial and want to really get into it. I am just a bit worried about its longevity

    Go get Braid. If there's one game on XBLA everyone should play it's Braid. Bionic Commando is a lot of fun but it's damn difficult. You can also save some points for upcoming games like Flock or Lode Runner. There's also a bunch of cool games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Geaometry Wars, Castlevania: SOtN, Puzzle Queast, Prince of Persia and many more, so yeah it's a tough choice. I wouldn't bother myself with Knothole Island for the current price of 800MSP, they should discount it or something.
