    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.

    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.

    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!"

    I would kill for a shoot of tequila right now. It would be a nice touch to a fine evening. Who's buying?

    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?!

    @TooWalrus: I saw Sammy Hagar live in concert in '85 or so. Sammy was the headliner and Krokus was the opening band. It was a great show, Sammy was the shit.
    This song was huge back then.

    The funniest part of this is that the game actually launched at Retail at $50.

    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.

    Yeah, I noticed this as well. Ever since I got gypped on Fable II (didn't come with DLC like the retail version does) from Games on Demand, I don't buy stuff there any more. It's almost always over-priced.

    Blood On The Sand is actually a really awesome action game. It's basically Bad Boys II in the Middle East, except replace the hilarious buddy-cop quips with nearly racist insults hurled at the enemy.

    You should, duder! It's a big, dumb, awesome action game that never stops moving!

    What you said.

     $60 for this piece of crap is extortion, wouldnt have paid that release day.

    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.

    @Napalm: You can totally get that game for like $20 used at Gamestop. That's what I did.

    @Afroman269: Speaking of re-buying old games, I did the same with Godfather II, because who doesn't want to stomp on a gangsters chest, while saying something awfully hostile while you splatter their face all over the pavement with a shotgun?

    Also, the same goes for The 40th Day, because as before... an awesome action game!

    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.

    Saw that. There's many, many weirdly priced items on Marketplace. Whoever's in charge of that shit is asleep at the wheel.
