Browsing the XBL Marketplace led me to the discovery of a Games on Demand copy of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. I guess it took a while for it to finally appear on here so when I investigated further I was shocked to find out that the fucking on Demand version is like $60!! I got this game for $20 at a Gamestop a while back. I would understand that a game like CoD would be a stupid high price in the Games on Demand store but not the 50 Cent game. I just felt like sharing that, carry on.
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Feb 24, 2009
Join 50 Cent and the G-Unit as they swear, ramp and rocket-launch their way around an unnamed Middle Eastern country in order to find out the answer to one specific question: "Where my skull?"
Dude, What?
Those big-ass ramps don't pay for themselves.I had a ramp joke, but this one's better.
Damn son, that's a lot of jack.Speaking of which, my cousin bought me a 1.75 liter bottle of that for my birthday (which is a large-ass bottle). The two of us barely made a dent, so we bought like 24 cokes and brought it to his sisters 'birthday party' two days later (which was really just a tire fire). I got to watch a Mexican kid drink almost half the bottle, trying to impress her. He went crazy for awhile, then spent a few hours puking in the forest before passing out face first in the dirt. Rad.

@TooWalrus said:Actually it was the other way around- I needed that bottle empty to put change in, so when everyone was like "Jose, I think you've had enough!" I was like "Hey guys, we're not his mother- let him do whatever he wants!"@Claude said:Some drunks you need to babysit. It's the way of the drunk.

@Claude said:I would kill for a shoot of tequila right now. It would be a nice touch to a fine evening.

@TooWalrus said:That sounds nice, I don't know if you know this, but I just turned 21 last week. Before that, drinking was mostly drinking cheap shit just to get drunk. Now that I'm over that, I'm broadening my horizons. I made some quality margarita's a few days ago- used the un-aged 100% agave Patron (and that shit ain't cheap). Took a few shots- that shit tastes like pure gasoline! But I love it. What do you like? I'm a huge Sammy Hagar fan- how about some Cabo Wabo?!@Claude said:I would kill for a shoot of tequila right now. It would be a nice touch to a fine evening.

This is why I hate stuff like Games on demand. In my God forsaken country games that are 5 bucks in shopping mall bins (Kameo, PGR3 and so on) are 60$ on Games on Demand.
In this case its good because 50 isn't making much money. I have heard he had to go back to that 02 Ferrari and not new cars.
The funniest part of this is that the game actually launched at Retail at $50.That's pretty messed up, haha.
@Napalm: That's why I bought the game. I feel like I deserve an achievement for putting this game back up into the Popular Game's Forums.You should, duder! It's a big, dumb, awesome action game that never stops moving!
I saw that, too. I was like, "Really, Microsoft?"Fable 3 and Read Dead Redemption are $40 on here. Then you have 50 Cent coming out left field at $60. It's crazy. Being an ironically awesome game only gets you so far in terms of value. I really want to figure out Microsoft's price planning for these games because it's hard to see THQ demanding the highest price point.
50 Cent gets 59.98 from each copy sold and they couldn't lower his royalties. And don't diss, diamond encrusted skulls don't grow on trees.
