Its an excellent game, i love the demo. I do wish it was 800 points though.

I agree. This game would sell a lot better if it was 800 points.

all aboard the Braid hype trainEragon_11

seriously. if this game gets high AAA, we're gonna see some interesting shifts in thought on System Wars.

Arcade releases will no longer be overlooked.

I'll get this game when it's 800 pointsSnowboarder99

Becasue you've probably paid MUCH MORE than $15 this gen for experiences only 7 or 8 hours long.

Most have, anyway.

Braid $15 + Banjo $40 =$55

LBP $60

Wait a sec...you guys pay $50 for XBL and you still have to pay for downloadable games? OMG MS stands for MilkSoft.

Rofl at your logic. So If Braid was 500 dollars, it would be over 8 times better than LBP?

Wait a sec... the PS3 lead racing franchise costs $40 and is a demo? Now they are going to charge for extra content for the demo!?!! And I need to replace my pads for decent ones with rumble at $50 a pop!?!? OMG Milkstation 3!

Yeah, everyone milks but good games and services are worth paying for.

Someones just angry because it's getting good reviews. I mean come on...it's a Live arcade game getting the same score as their 'mighty' 10 for MGS4. Cows are bound to be mad.

I dont think you get his point....

Played it last night. It's a very nice puzzle platformer with many a nod to Mario and PoP: Sands of Time. Worth 10/10 and the money? I'd say so as you'll get more out of this than most full price games and the world has been lovingly crafted.Stonin

Im considering subsribing as a member at gamespot. You think its worth it or should I go to founders Club/Insider(IGN/gamespy)?

2 Great 360 games are cheaper than one PS3 game.

I assumed you meant that the price is what makes a game bettter than another...What was your point then?

AHAHAHAH...You are kidding right? Why would he quote me to say that? If you are quoting someone, you respond to what he said. Saying that 2 360s games are cheaper than one PS3 game make absolutely no connection to them being better than LBP at all. Its quite obvious you guys meant price is what makes the quality of the game and now are in denial

2 awsome games own one...Its quite obvious :P

[QUOTE="argetlam00"]Braid+Banjo=PWNED Little Big Planet....Ibacai

Jonathan talks about it in his blog.

It's comming to PC soon and there's a chance for a PSN version too he mentions.

I'll pick it up once it comes out for the PC, if it comes with a level editor(something taunted by him) .

No I just meant that you can get Banjo and Braid for the cost of a full priced game. Many people have a hard time that Braid is $15 (myself included. A price of $10 would attract a lot more people). LBP is $60 price and will be well worth it. Perhaps $15 for Braid isn't that bad after all.

Wait a sec...you guys pay $50 for XBL and you still have to pay for downloadable games? OMG MS stands for MilkSoft.

Someones just angry because it's getting good reviews. I mean come on...it's a Live arcade game getting the same score as their 'mighty' 10 for MGS4. Cows are bound to be mad.

Yes because you have to be a Cow to see what's wrong with XBL:?

Tell us then what is wrong? (except the price as we already know you hate that).

I bet the only real thing you can come up with is P2P play ... but yet you won't list the BIG benefits that this system brings.

My biggest issue is the lack of payment options on XBLM. I have 960 points in my account right now, and i quite like the look of braid. So since i only need 240 points for it, i should probably just buy a few hundred from the marketplace, right?

Except that in the UK, unless you have a Visa or a Mastercard, you cant do anything. Solo cards arent accepted, switch maestro arent accepted, and Electron is a bit iffy at the best of times. So i have to buy 2100 points from a store for the 240 i need? Not the best system in the world really, especially since the PS3 has had no problems with my card since launch.

Once this is fixed, it truly will be the best online service for me. But right now, the whole payment scheme in terms of what is accepted seems somewhat archaic and redundant.

How about this exercise. Tell me what exactly you get included for that $50 that you don't get for free everywhere else, I bet if there is anything it has nothing to do with gaming.

Really? Up here in the North-west, ive not seen any below 2100. I work in the Cheshire Oaks GAME, so i probably would have seen some by now if we had them in. Odd...

Anyway, my point still stands. Its something the PS3 has been able to do since March, so if microsoft want to get serious in expanding the XBLM, they need to get a system in place that supports regional debit cards.

This is great news but at the same time, u are really pushing it comparing an arcade game to a full fledged game. It might get 10's but I can see why it would get 10's because its a great arcade game and its a bargain for what it has to offer. If we go on and say it is on the same level as MGS4, then I guess braid to lemmings is a better game then gears of war, or a halo 3, or mass effect, which it is not. Its a great arcade game and it is reviewed different from games that are more mass appeal. Still cant take the fact that it is getting great scores around the board.
