Next month, confirmed by Major Nelson himself, XBLA games will have the option to put achievement points caps of 400 instead of 200 and the games can feature up to 30 achievements in place of the usual 12. By June, every XBLA game will be required to have the 400 achievement points.

This is great! I wonder if this will apply to Windows Phone games as well, I'm assuming it will.

It's about damn time!

yay.

So will it be easier to get a few more quick points from a game?  It seems like arcade games won't get any larger or expansive....  Well, I guess I won't complain about that!

So who else thinks $20 will be the new $15 come this time next year?

They should have done this a while ago.

@msavo: seems inevitable.

Do people still care about achievements?

Why does this matter? I never understood why people care so much about these things...

If games become more robust, why not?

You know Stallion83 must be pissed, like wtf took so long?

Yeah I have no problem with it. I'm just saying the norm of most major downloadable games across platforms being $15 will change soon like it did with $10 to $15.

Some games on there honestly deserve it. As much as I detest the ending to I Am Alive, and didn't really enjoy it, I can see it from the perspective of a professional (mechanics and content wise) and see it's a very well made XBLA game. I just remember the hell that forums felt when the 1,200MSP was the new 800 and I don't look forward to it again; Even though they are completely worth the asking price half the time.
