i didnt. they setup that account and wrote that nonsense. i guess they think i give them some credibility. scary thought isnt it

Wait, what? Who did that?

[Twigg4075]

NO but there are others out before Minecraft that are 1600 points....

Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space 1600
Sam & Max Save the World 1600
Watchmen: The End Is Nigh - Part I 1600
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix 1600
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition 1600

are you sure about Watchmen? I could've sworn it was 1200pts. Also, it's hard to count episodic games like Sam & Max. Because of that's the case Walking Dead is $25. I'm not even sure what Puzzle Quest is.

You cant buy Sam and Max ala carte....

Puzzle Quest Galactrix is so awesome, but I still can't figure out why they insist it on being $20. I always wanted to buy it, but never have, keep getting caught up with other shit.

Like, for example, fucking Minecraft, which is pretty amazing in a lot of ways. It's like returning to my lego filled childhood just without the mess/pain of stepping on the fuckers I didn't pick up.

The last sentence says it all. You do realize it's only that way on Xbox right, because of MS's bullshit policies? You can download them all separately on PSN, which is how they were meant to be, hence the "episodes". Just because Live is shitty in that respect doesn't mean they count.

As far as the Puzzle game I wasn't alleging it didn't exist, I was just saying I had never heard of it.

And yes, you're right that Watchmen was $20. I think I actually bought that piece of shit too.

But the main point is that Minecraft seems to be overpriced. Wasn't /Isn't it $15a on PC. What makes this version $5 more besides the "MS tax"? I'm honestly asking because I don't know.

[padman59]

Minecraft is $27 now on PC. It used to be ~$10 way back when it was in alpha. I'll also add that the PC version has a lot more features than the 360 port.

[jms493]

Keep in mind the minecraft you get on xbox is NOT the minecraft you get on PC.

[SethMode]

Minecraft 360 is not at an unfair price right now. The only way it will be unfair is if they start charging for every conceivable update. The version on 360 is well worth 20 bucks IMO.

[jms493]

Yeah I am not sure why $20 is perceived to be overpriced....seems fine to me.

[Twigg4075]

Yeah I am not sure why $20 is perceived to be overpriced....seems fine to me.

I was basing that on the last price that I had heard about the PC version. I had also heard that the 36 version had LESS ceatures than PC, which would make sense. That's why $20 seemed overpriced.
