Here’sa rather ugly rumorfor you all to chew on this morning. Perhaps knowing thatBraidandCastle Crashersare two of Xbox Live Arcade’s most highly anticipated titles, it’s rumored that the powers-that-be are being shrewd and bloodthirsty enough to charge 1200 MS points forBraid, and an unsettling 1800 points forCastle Crashers.
Four Japanese sources (includingFamitsuand Xbox.com’s official Japanese blog) are stating that these two games will be more expensive than the average XBLA games. This is a rumortoid until we get an English announcement though. If it turns out to be true, you’re able to color me a particularly brown shade of disgusted.
At 1800 points,Castle Crasherswould be Xbox Live Arcade’s most expensive title, costing even more thanPenny Arcade Adventures. Something tells me we shouldn’t have let Microsoft know that it was the first XBLA title that we all really, really wanted. Still, I’ll wait until the English announcement before I scream “F*CK YOU MICRO$OFT AND I SPELL THE “S” IN YOUR NAME WITH A DOLLAR SIGN” from the highest rooftop.
