Xbox LIVE Gold Members can now grab the Arcade game N+ for only 400 points. Normally 800 points, this Deal of the Week will be available until Monday, July 13th.
Add N+ to your Xbox 360 download queue
Or you could play the free flash version on the internet...
I'm a 360 lover, but Sony have better deals on PSN than those on Live.
Last weeek Super Stardust HD (1080p) was sold with 80% rebate.
The old games like N+ and others should be sold at 50% off atleast. I may not buy N+ because its not 400 points to make a point. The low rebate makes me wanna buy another 800 point game instead.
I have used over 41.000 points on Live so far on games and add-ons in 1.5 year, so i'm a good supporter. ;)
I have never tried this game, will this week. Even though BF 1943 comes out weednesday I may be able to fit it in. Also Major don't you mean it will be Available until Monday the 13th?
lame well lame.
Good game, crap "deal".
What the?... they said on N+ official blog that it would be 50% off, come on M$ this is just plain stupid.
I was hoping for 50% off.
It`s a great game with a great value. If you can`t afford it, then play the worse free version on the internet. I love this game.
not a bad game but not enough of a discount for a 2yr old game.
I'm sure I saw a post about it being 50% off. Oh well. Its a great game, and well worth the money.
Will there be a show this week Major?
I've gotta agree with the majority. I was ready to buy this game at 400 points. These deals need to get better.
The Game sure is worth the 800 Points but if the official blog says 50% off, I won't buy because M$ thinks they can f*** us.
Guys calm down major probly got the information wrong some how or another from his sorce.. So lets see if they fix this.. normaly microsoft tries to please the customer.. not make them hate them.. ether way lets see if it updates on the marketplace ether way i clicked on the link he had there its still 800 points so the deal isnt in effect so lets see what happens.. it has been a long week lets give major a break..
On my Xbox it shows as 560 Points so prob. no Error.
As a few others have mentioned, the dev's blog said it was going to be 50% off. What's the go?

It seems MS wanted more money. But hey I don't have to buy it, I just wanted to.
Microsoft's stupid point system is ... STUPID. They didn't make it 400 points because they wanted people to overbuy and go for 1000 points. So in reality, you will be spending more than 560 points to get this game.
Anything less than a 400 point price cut is not really worth it IMO. 560 points for N+ is a solid deal in and of itself, but most people would have to buy 800-1000 points to get it because of the (what seems to me to be maliciously greedy) points purchasing system.
after looking on the marketplace sorce was right after all.. Thanks @Sogeman.. So not worth 560 points though.. looks sort of like a side scroller mixed up a stick figures.. bah.. not my style at all i like side scrollers but not games like this.. I might of thought of buying it for 400 though maybe..
A proper deal-of-the-week would be to take an overpriced 1200-point game and offer it for 800 points.
DevilTriggerEX hit the nail on the head with his comment. The points system is horrible for customers.
I was considering this game at 400MSP but even that seemed a little high. 560MSP is a definite no deal. You can play this game any time you want for free on the PC.
To all of you complaining about the free PC version. I have both and N+ is worlds away better. Online Co-op? check. Ranked matches? check. etc etc. And look, it was a great deal at 800 msp. Yes, it should be 400, but ya know what? It's a freakin discount. Steam's are better, sure, but its a discount nonetheless. If you're not interested enough to pay 560 for it, don't buy it. If you don't have 800 pts but always wanted to try the game, buy it. I bought it at 800 and it was beyond worth it.
ARGH!! We just assumed it would be 1/2 price like EVERY OTHER deal-of-the-week! We’re not sure what’s going on.. this sucks!
This is actually the tragicomic end of a series of shafts, N+ was originally supposed to be the deal-of-the-week for March break! But after being cleared for that we got bumped two or three times..
Sorry Everyone!
------------------------------------
Wait, we just checked our emails — we didn’t just assume, we were _told_ it would be offered for 400 points. Hooray, it was Microsoft’s fault, not ours!!
Microsoft gets to decide because its their system. Really though, what is the point of offering 30% off of a $10 game?! This really sucks, we were hoping the deal would get N+ on the “most popular” list for a week :(

Funny, I was just preparing to "correct" everyone's assumptions with that first comment they made, but I wouldn't have known about that second comment had it not been for you, Sogeman.
Looks like it really is a miniature clusterfuck.
