Lode Runner Price Change is B.S.

Earlier today, I put money into my account to buy Lode Runner, listed at 800 points (I wish they would just do it in dollars, they try to get you to not think about how much it costs by using points). It kept giving me an error and not letting me buy it. Then later today, it was relisted at 1200 "points". I played Lode Runner on my Apple II in the 80s and was excited to get this version, but I wont pay $15 for it. I wonder if anyone else thinks this price is too high. For the same reason I did not buy the Penny Arcade RPGs... I guess its most annoying how they changed the price, and I wish they didn't do so well with online sales so all the full games were 400 "points". That would make more sense. I guess I also feel burned by buying Resident Evil's versus mode, which should have been included in retail.

Yea, I agree. It's not even worth 1200 points

wow, that is total B.S.! $15 is pretty high :P on another side note, how was RE5 Versus anyways?orb_03_2006

400 MS points, and the multiplayer wasn't as bad as everyone said it was I bet most people didn't even try it, they just assumed. But Lode Runner's price is way too much, I could get a good old bargain bin game like The Darkness or Forza Motorsport 2 instead of this.
