Last I checked it was games I was buying, not achievements.

Sounds good from an achievements point of view. I'd rather pay 800 for each set of 200 points than 1600 for everything with just 200 GS points spead over the whole lot. I think Sam & Max should have been split up and made episodic so people could buy an episode cheaply and only keep buying the episodes if they felt the quality was kept up - not to mention the extra achievements that would be available that way.

@The Brit:  Fair enough, if you're just talking about things like avatar accessory prices I can totally understand.  I just can't understand why people would be badmouthing this game, I'm not a huge fan of Wallace & Gromit myself, but I can still appreciate a great point & click series, especially when they're so rare these days.  It may not be Monkey Island but they're still pretty darn good - and yes, while they may seem expensive, it is essentially a full game.  Much, much longer than the majority of stuff you'll see on XBLA.

Gyromancer?

What's more concern though, to me, at least, are the prices of Games on Demand. Heck, in Australia, this service is not going to raise a bar beyond anything but fairly over priced Digital goods. Especially when you factor in all the benefits of having a store bought copy. As for live games, they are fairly well priced, BUT, Gold members should be entitled to further discounting though... Just as an incentive to promote the membership, even further. Now that Sony is catching up with their services and all and providing it free of charge. I haven't bought an Xbox 360 game since Street Fighter IV's release... and the only other one was Turtles in Time on Arcade. Just a hunch, something tells me that the Xbox 360 is no longer such a sound investment, considering the lowered price of the PS3. Hrm... Still, I love the Xbox community and something about Gold Live... perhaps it's because I, like all Gold members here, are paying for a premium so it's justified in that way.  

I do understand theres fans for this series as I stated in my last post, I just want to know Major why gamers who are not fans of this series didn't even get one arcade game to decide on buying this week?

I'm a huge fan of these sort of games, but i'll be leaving this out till the price drop, sorry Microsoft, but you need to sort your prices out.

I always had the impression that Sony had better prices, and deals, on their online content than Microsoft. Just recently picked up a PSP, and after browsing the Playstation store I've been disabused of that notion ;p I don't know what the differences between the pricing structure on the PSP vs the PS3 are, but if what I've seen is any indicator, the grass is NOT greener on the other side of the fence ;p

The problem here is that if they are as long as Episode 1, they are pretty short compared to 1 episode of Sam & Max, which makes them quite expensive.  Its a shame they did not bundle them together in the same way. That said, I do not think it will put me off buy I will not buy them all at once. @Exu What exactly is shoddy about the ports?  They are straight ports, thats all.  Sure I wish they would fancy the graphics up a bit (as these were written to work on fairly low-spec PCs) but I wouldn't call the lack of that shoddy.  A shoddy port is when the frame rate is unbearable and it crashes all the time, which these games do not. Could they be better?  Damn right.  But I would rather have a straight PC port than not have not have one at all as I really cannot be bothered with PC gaming anymore. (not to mention I mostly use Linux these days)

gief Serious Sam HD, now!

W&G are great...the movies, the Original XBox games, and the one that's already been released for XBLA.  I may have to consider getting another.

This is a really a bad week... Even last week was better. ;)
