Penny arcade = 20$, only 40 copies will be sold.

Anybody else feel that a 20$ XBLA game is a horrible idea? All 15$ games so far have bombed (bankshot 2 got an increase in sales when it went to arcade hits though)

I'll try the demo (might as well give all demos a try IMO), but I am not expecting to feel the sudden urge to pay $20 for it.

Having said that it will be interesting to see what happens at the release. If it does well will other prices start creeping up? GH2 songs were rather pricey and yet for all the complaints people still kept buying them.

i think there is room for

i think there is room for $20 games. this is by a developer that i like. a comic that i like. was consulted on by ron gilbert. has a good looking character custimization. is 8ish hours apparently. i think it's definately worth it as long as the game is actually good.

The biggest question to me

The biggest question to me is are they going to charge 20 for each episode?

I mean if they end up with 5 episodes, am I really going to spend $100 to play a 40 hour experience?

I think if episodes are DLC

I think if episodes are DLC then no, but if they aren't then yes you'll pay $100.
