YESS SIR! I still havent finish'd Lumines for my PSP yet... oh weII

Cool, I always wanted to play this game!

So, how goes the XBL update? Anything new? Browser?

I believe this is too much money for an Xbox Live Arcade game. The most I am willing to spend for a good game is 800 points. I agree with the people who say that 800 points for high quality games with 32-bit graphics is a reasonable price, 400 points for 16-bit graphics, and 200 points for 8-bit graphics.

I think that Microsoft is still testing the water to see what prices will work on Xbox Live Arcade, so I understand why they might want to test this price out with Lumines. But I hope they are willing to lower the prices of games that don't sell well at higher prices.
