That's me with the JSR HD release date.
Thread gets bumped, I come in hopeful for news about it, and wala.
Nothing.

Same.
If an announcement doesn't come this week (meaning it comes out next week) I think it's going to be a long wait.

Buy a Dreamcast to get you through the summer.

Ironically, I actually still have a copy of Jet Grind Radio laying around somewhere, but I sold my Dreamcast long ago.
I'm really excited to play it on XBLA though because of the widescreen HD graphics, and of course chasing achievements. Playing the original now would kind of spoil the fun too, since I haven't played the game in nearly 10 years now.

Looks like Sega is waiting the vita version for a simultaneous release.

My story. That's why I clicked this thread.
I really wonder what's up with this game.

Why do you say "waiting" for the Vita version? It was shown at E3 weeks ago and it looked very good.
In fact, it's the PS3 version that I don't think has ever been shown publicly.

Both of those are day 1 for me. I've been following Hybrid since it was first announced. I hope the community will be alive for a long time. That's my only concern ("searching for a match ...").
As far as THPS HD, I played 1-2-3 when they came out. A lot. Can't wait to experience it again. \o/

Joe Danger is 600 for Gold too.
Guy from Twisted Pixel created XBLA twitter account and tweets about when XBLA game is announced, passes certification, gets a release date, or is released. Also created XBLA Release Calendar. Like a bawse.

People who don't buy Joe Danger at that price are bad people.
I thought the game (PS3 version, at least) was just okay.
I would be tempted to get the COD map pack collections, but that would involve supporting Activision and actually playing more of MW3 multiplayer.
And Joe Danger is fine on PS3, but if you have Trials HD/Evolution that's really all you need. I like Joe Danger a lot better personally.

I was well annoyed when I got into the beta and found it to be US only, I was looking forward to giving that a go. I'll give the trial a blast when it finally hits.

I really don't think Joe Danger is as good as people say it is, it's obscenely flawed as a game.
There's definitely 600pts of fun in it though.

That comparison is so......weird. The only two things those games have in common is that you control a guy on a motorcycle. Beyond that they look completely different, they play completely different, and they sound completely different.
It was reviewed very favorably, so I guess a lot of people missed the obscene flaws.

XBLDB is alive again (but still a bit dodgy) and there were also a few permanent reductions,

Crap or no crap, this is mine.
I enjoyed MW3 a lot so I'll give this a try.

I have my Dreamcast and game still, but I want to download it soon because I am leaving for Greenland soon and am going to be working up in the Arctic Circle. I will have internet, but don't know how long it will take to get the Danes up their to hook it up. If it doesn't come out soon, there is a good chance it will come out during a period of no internet for me.
I will be taking my copy of Future to play on the 360 though, so I won't be totally without JSR while there.
I am so tempted to get the BlOps DLC. This sale has been a long time coming. And 600 points isn't that bad. But when you add them all up and figure it would be 2400 for all four packs, it makes it hard to drop the points on.

South Park: Let's Go Tower Defense Play! is 540MSP
ilomilo is 400 MSP

Can anyone confirm if Ninja Gaiden Black and Psychonauts are both 800msp.

Just checked, yes on both counts.

All xbox originals are 800msp apart from Black. Psychonauts is only available in the US (the retail disc was region locked. I wouldn't expect DF to have changed anything after they got the rights back and put it up again).

I hope they put the first two part of the Penny Arcade game on sale.

I had enough fun with it for a while, but if I'd paid 1200 points for it I would've been mildly annoyed.

Cheers.
Some great to be had, burnout 3, crimson skies, psychonauts, ninja gaiden black.

Could be doing with a good VS pool game on XBLA, one that isn't Bankshot Billiards 2 from 2005.
Amazing to think it's taken 7 years for another pool game to come to XBLA. As for the game itself i would like a 60fps option (ie turn the lights off).

Huh. I thought they were all 1200. When did they cut those prices?

Btw how long do the Sales + Specials deals last? A day or a week? I bought Ilomillo but i'm on the fence about south park so i want more time to think it over.
