The price is right!

800MS points -reasonable price.

Hmmm… I look forward to playing the trial. I love the SEGA OutRunners Twin Seat Arcade Machine with the pixel graphics and easy to play mechanics. Let’s see if this one is just as fun.

Almost instant purchase at this price even though I have and still play the Xbox version. I’ll try the demo first just in case they managed to mess something up

Also, congrats to whoever decided the price. It would have been easy to charge 1200 or 1600 as seems to be the trend now. Outrun at 800 points puts most of those 1200+ points games to shame.

Vote with your wallets and get spending… I don’t say that often

Nice price !!! Instant purchase without try.

Surprising i was expecing MS to charge 2100 MS Pts lol

Sweet…Hard to believe I was playing Sms Outrun 3-D the other day..Someone was asking bout my Sega 3-D glasses.

About time we seen a game not taking the p1ss with price

reserve me a copy

800 points is a good price for this take on an all time classic !

Insta-buy for me.

Of course the cynical side of me is saying it’s 800 points to start, with more cars / music / tracks available for purchase later.

I’m going to get this just because it’s only 800 points. That’s a fair price for the game, and that’s really rare on XBLA these days.

Yeah, same for me. I used to buy almost every second XBLA game but since last summer I have only bought four. Prices went up, quality went down.

If it’s anything like the Xbox releases, it will be worth 800 points. After the pricing of Flock, I’m delightfully happy that the one game from Days Of Arcade I really wanted is a reasonable price.

I’ll buy this when my guide isn’t so annoyingly laggy!

At this price it’s an essential XBLA purchase. No need to trial just get it.

Price is very reasonable. This will be the first download I have bought in a long time. If all XBLA games were priced so fairly, I would be blowing way too much money on Microsoft points.

Yay! A decent price too. I loved OutRun 2006 on PS2, so now I can see how it looks in HD.

This is a must-have!! I own both Xbox and PSP versions (Out Run & Out Run 2006) and in my opinion it’s one of the best racing-arcade games of all time, a great succesor of the first & marvellous Out Run.

And of course the price looks good, I expect to pay no more than 800/1200 MS points for one download game, more it’s ridiculous for a game without DVD, Case or manual, only bits.

Well done microsoft!! ^___^

I agree, this is a must buy for me, I have been waiting for this game to come to arcade forever! I hope to see you all online!! Lets do this up right! 800 points should be the max for an arcade game. I agree with you all on this one.

Come on Wednesday! The one arcade game i’ve been waiting for!

Been looking forward to this one for a while now.

Tozai had better not charge $15 for Lode Runner last week like they did with R-Type.

good price, but game is not for me, ill pass.

I absolutely cannot wait for the best xbla release ever since Banjo Kazooie…

Banjo-Tooie !!!

Insta-buy here !

Finally, a more reasonable price….I will be buying this one.

Can’t wait!

Finally

If there’s any justice, Dishwasher and OutRun OA will top the sales list for this whole Days Of Bad Overpriced Games “promotion”.
The only other one that is any fun is UNO Rush but, unlike with regular UNO, you can’t just call up some friends for a game when nobody on your friends list has bought the dbloody thing due to the cost being twice as high as it should be!
Heck, I only own it ’cause I won it, at least all the other games with stupidly high price tags have had the common decency to be terrible anyway thereby averting anyone with any sense wanting to play them.

@ TaygetaVendetta: It’s already been confirmed that Lode Runner is coming out next week for 1200 points. But with 220 levels, 2- and 4-player co-op game modes that can be played locally AND on XBL, 5 new gameplay modes and a level editor, it’ll be worth it!

Price it right and I will buy.. 800ms points is the right price for ANY & ALL arcade titles. Will test it out and buy. 1200ms point games I don’t bother with.

is it true that we will be seeing Perfect Dark for XBLA?…i saw that guys gamercard with the perfect dark facetile…that would be cool
-
i wish you(MS/Rare) and Nintendo could sort out the handbags at dawn over Goldeneye
-
and yeah,price is spot on for Out Run

I’ll be buying it, since it’s a reasonable 800 points. I will never buy a game for more.

THANK YOU JESUS A GREAT PRICE. I really don’t want to say it’s about time. But well, It’s about time! This has almost turned this into an insta-buy! I’ll just still need to check out the trial, but if all looks good, it’s a download!

right on i thought it was going to be 1200

If I like the trial, 800 points is a must have. Good job with the pricing MS.

Nice price
Thought it´d be 1200 M$ points but at 800 I can´t really say no.

Very reasonable price… can’t wait to try it out… hope it works fine with the 360 FFB Wheel to give that true arcade experience.

It’s about time we had a fairly priced arcade game!

Outrun = YES

800 points = A joke? Lol wow I forgot that pricing point.

Hurrah for MS and Sega

This weeks arcade game makes it the 201st arcade released, still no big party!

major why isn’t this fact being promoted?

woo 800 points ?? finally a decent price.

Surpised it isn’t 1600, may be sega actually know how not rip off its consumers.

’bout time we had some sensible pricing again… Me n my mates will all be purchasing this without question!

Can’t wait to try it out. Looks pretty good.

I’ve moaned a little to myself about the pricing of some games recently, but praise where praise is due, this one is priced right! *Thumbs Up*

@metallicorphan
With the rumored ‘remake’ of Killer Instinct Gold (not Killer Instinct 3) coming, I’m a bit downed by that decision. Nintendo AND RARE should share the sales data with MS to see how KI Gold only received fame because of all the anxious players like me who were bubbling over with the joy of “UTLRAAAA COMBOOOOO!” – it burned out rather quickly too. Pick up Nintendo Power (issue 76 or 81 – can’t remember the issue, but I remember the article) when they gave specs of being able to knock opponents through the walls, do 100+ hit combos, etc – (All 68+ hit combos worked on corner glitches). That NEVER came – Dead or Alive 4 and MK vs DC Universe have something similar. Killer Instinct was the best of the two. It would be nice if the ‘handbag’ was sorted out. Yes, even for the beloved Goldeneye.

has potential! I enjoy the simple racing games.

800 points on standby for tmw morning!!!
Well done Microsoft for realising that you have being pricing stuff all wrong

I check the demo. If I like it, I’ll buy it. Like I do with all “normal priced” arcade games.

A little bit of a shame the graphics just look like Outrun 2006 on Xbox but at this price, it is indeed an instant purchase.

To be fair, Outrun 2006 had some of the best graphics on Xbox anyway (notably less animated on backwards compatibility) so its not shabby by any means.

At last, will be a great game and at a very fair price. haven’t bought any live arcade stuff since the sf2 pinball table came out. The fact that 400 points just disappeared from my account and i can’t have them back still won’t sour the fact that OUTRUN IS OUT TOMORROW AND IS 800 PTS !!!!!

Finally, a truly great game with a truly great price. It’s an instant buy for me, I’ll click straight on the full version, no need to try this arcade perfection before purchasing. Hats off to Microsoft and SEGA for this great price – I was really expecting 1600 Points, judging buy today’s trend… See Major, this is when gamers are truly satisfied and are more than willing to spend their Points.
