ok, that’s funny. I heard that, you couldn’t play this online against anyone over Live. Maybe they fixed it this time.

Major with your marketplace links it would be helpful if in the future you remove the “en-US/” from the links. This would mean people outside the US who click on the links will go to xbox.com for their region.

example

http://marketplace.xbox.com/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024541086F/?of=7

Will take me to the GB Xbox.com.

Would have been nice if New releases were available on Games on Demand, I would be all for grabbing a copy of Modern Warfare 2.

Living in a country area limits the games I can purchase from a “Store” – as there is simply no way I am driving 8 hours to pick a game up.

MS would love to have new releases as Games on Demand. Gamestop and Wal-Mart would not. Since MS needs them to sell you the hardware in the first place, that’s how it has to be for now.

As for this game, I’m never the guy to complain about pricing… but, for Monopoly, $10 definitely, $20 maybe, $30 no way. A Monopoly board is $10.

Walmart isn’t in Australia.

As for Gamestop, never seen or been to one of those stores, not sure they exist here or not.

Otherwise, I couldn’t care what the Game retailers think, They won’t be getting my money either way.😉

@The Dukenator – nothing on there says anything about XBox Live. “Hosting” things happens in real life too you know.😉 The ‘global’ version means the landmarks are from around the world.

Unless you got suckered into buying it and noticed it has XBox live now, then I feel bad for you.😦

I curious to know what bomberman is going for in Japan, concidering it goes for $5 new at gamestop. My guess is MS is charging $30 for it also.

@JohnnyDethmatch I never bought or played it. I usually avoid games that would cause me to get suckered into buying only to find out it sucked.

Go Directly To Jail… because it’s criminal how much they are expecting people to shovel out for the sake of convenience. I think Microsoft needs to take the hint and work on this program, before it falls flat on its face.

Anyway, this is the worst-priced game-on-demand yet. Not impressed with this service at all

To all the haters, this is an excellent game, especially in local multiplayer. No, it doesn’t have Live play. Big deal. I bought this for full price ages ago and am happy with my purchase. I highly recommend it.

{spits Coke out nose} $30!? This should be on XBLA for $10 or less. If it’s the one I’m thinking of the guys over at OXM said it’s the worst implementation of Monopoly ever.

£19.99 for a board game on a console. Do I have mug written on my forehead. OH, I know lets give all our money to M$ so they can spank it like the Ferrari boys. I think M$ should apply to be a bank if it needs more money as governments seem to be giving it all away to them.

I will never buy a game on demand cause I’m smart. !!!!!

The description says “Host the ultimate MONOPOLY party with family and friends” and the manual says “XBOX LIVE® Play anyone and everyone, anytime, anywhere on Xbox LIVE®.”

..but there is no online play? That’s terribly misleading. Bad M$. Bad.

@buglang: I’m still wondering, maybe you can explain it to me? If something is unavailable in certain countries, it’s usually because of copyright issues. It’s not going to be any different on the PS3, and if you think it is perhaps you should take a lot at the weekly PSN updates for Europe compared to the US.. and then compare that to Japans. If anything, I think Euro PS3 users should be coming over to the 360.
