Xbox Live Arcade - After August 9th?

Microsoft Representatives have stated that they can't make any guarantee that we will see a new title every Wednesday after Pac-Man on August 9th. However, it was said at the "Xbox Live Summer of Arcade" event, that they apologize for the lull of in Xbox Live Arcade, but they are stepping it up - Aiming for a total of 50 Xbox Live Arcade games by the end of the year, with each game to be released on a Wednesday at 12:01 Pacific Time.

hey guys did all eb games and gamestops around you raise the price of the marketplace cards to 25 bucks. They did at mine, In fact they did on ebgames.com. 1600 point cards at gamecrazy and toys r us have stayed at 20 currently. I hope MS is not thinking of raising the price on this. I hope it is just corporate greed of gamestop and eb games. You can even confirm on eb games site that they are selling it at 25. that sux. Maybe someone here can find the dirt out about this. I might just have to blow 300 on cards while i can get em at 20. that should keep me happy until 2 years from now lol. Hopefully though the price via xbox would stay the same.

Someone told me they were $25 in Virginia all along. He was surprised when I told him the "real" prices of points on the marketplace.

I had been hitting x to add points in game for the longest time... Paying out the nose to do so mind you... I'd be happy if MS rewarded all of the XBL-G members who have their CC saved for instant purchasing by giving us the current "a-la carte" pricing seen at Target, EB, GameStop, etc. etc. etc...

Shouldn't you get a little discount by taking electronic delivery of points, (saves everyone costs)... Maybe it's just me. I can be a dreamer sometimes.
