    Perfect! All you guys and gals at MS, thank you for listening to us and dropping the price to 800MSP. I’ll definitely check this out once I get back from vacation.

  • Atomicow

    Woah, they dropped the price!

    Thanks for listening to the devs and the community – Sales will definitely prosper because of this!

    Thanks for 800 point games but serously guys.. Did you really think this game would of been 1200MSP its not even worth it.. I seen the graphics and seen how it plays and it doesnt seem really fun.. not my type of game anyways.. Next week is summer games look to me like i wont be buying the first week game though maybe the next desiding still..

  • wiirule111

    I will check this out, and see if i want it. :-) at 800 points i might get it.

  • wiirule111

    I just tried Madballs and after 10 mins of testing.. i bought it. :-) Quite cool game. I would never payed 1200 for it thou.

  • Sneeches

    Wow they dropped the price!!! Nice!!! I added this to my downloads this morning before work so I”ll gladly check it out. Might be an expensive week lol cuz I”m getting Monkey island for sure.

    Gotta save my points for TMNT and Shadow Complex.

    Hey Major, I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there is a demo for NCAA 10. Not to be off-topic or anything…

  • Swamp Thing 71

    The demo was really fun, I may have to pick this one up.

  • Rdeal

    I bought this earlier and the single player is quite good but it shines in the multiplayer,best multiplayer experience i have had on xbla,its well worth 800

  • KP ScuzzyBunny

    That NCAA demo has been out for almost two weeks…Hey Tjoeb123, don’t know if you heard, but NCAA 2010 released yesterday! Definitely giving this demo a look, as I was planning on skipping it from screenshots + price “formula”!

  • Rick Dias PK

    This is an unexpected, but very welcome price drop. I plan to try it out very soon!

  • Whetzel

    I’m probably NOT going to buy this game for the simple fact it uses you avatar.

    I’ve been asking for an option to completely disable theses stupid things since the launch of the NXE, but instead of giving us that option they start forcing us to use them in games too.

    And what’s worse is one of my favorite games is going to use them too. Guitar Hero 5.

    I’m sorry, but I really hate these avatars (have since day one) and I’ll probably always hate them. It might have been different if they weren’t FORCED on us, but we didn’t have a choice in the matter. I would have also been different if my 360 would have been like this when I bought it, but it wasn’t.

    If I knew I was just going to end up with a Wii I would have just bought a Wii and saved myself some money.

    This game is actually pretty fun, after playing the demo also (which has online MP), I picked it up.The online is a blast, and there is a ton of unlockables.

    @Whetzel
    you’re not forced to use your avatar in this game, sure there is a option to play a avatar game mode, you dont need to play it for any achievements. And from what I have noticed, there isnt a game mode where there are avatars and madballs mixed.

  • Whetzel

    @o0 Daz 0o

    Thanks for the info. I may actually try it out then.

  • xfoolsgoldx

    Good game with a fair price.

  • Exu

    I take back what I said for my first impressions of this game, it’s actually not bad! I thought it looked horrible in previews but in practice it sort of works. I had been worried this was another TotemBall.

  • CARNAGE RULES

    @Whetzel

    Your life must be pretty sad if the avatar bothers you that much.

  • Whetzel

    @CARNAGE RULES

    Nope. I’m actually pretty happy with my life, but thanks for commenting.

  • QualityJeverage

    @Whetzel

    If avatars bother you so much that you would decide against buying a game you otherwise might consider, you really, really need to get those priorities straight. You don’t have to like avatars, but what you’re doing is just childish and silly.

    If you like the game, then get over yourself and buy it, or stop whining about the avatars.

  • Whetzel

    @QualityJeverage

    It’s called protesting. I don’t like the fact that these avatars were forced on us. They’re unnecessary and childish and the adults shouldn’t be forced to use them if they don’t want to.

    Anyone who actually likes them and wants to use them, more power to them. I’m not hear to judge, but I would have really liked an option to completely opt out of using/seeing them.
