MS offering US Summer of Arcade rebate News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft is offering 800 MSP (£6.80 / €9.60 / $10) cash-back to anyone who buys all five Summer of Arcade games. Anyone who lives in North America, that is.
"Nothing has been announced for the UK just yet," a spokesperson for the platform holder told Eurogamer this afternoon.
Microsoft is running this initiative to offset the 1200 MSP (£10.20 / €14.40) price tag that four of the five Summer of Arcade games carry. Those entitled to the refund will find it in their accounts sometime in mid-October.
The XBLA Summer of Arcade began last week with 'Splosion Man. This week's addition is Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which will be followed by TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled, Trials HD and Shadow Complex, respectively.

Pretty cool if you plan on buying the games anyway. Splosion Man is *awesome*, Trials HD looks like a next-gen Excite Bike and Shadow Complex speaks for itself. The only one I'm unsure about is Turtles in Time. Even as a full remake, 1200 points is pushing it.

Splosion is fun.. dont want the rest. Wouldnt have gotten the rest at 800 pts TBH so...
However, its nice to see them caring so much about what they say is an important market ;-) |

At the MS exchange rate it would actually cost you about £47 for the lot and then just under £7 off as part of the rebate... TBH, I'd consider it if a) I knew more about Turtles in Time and b) if the option was even there for me to take advantage of :P

Kremlik, it's 1200! But hey, it's really only 400! I wouldn't mind getting all these games but 1200 is too much for some of them. I'm going to happily pay it for 'Shadow Complex' and while I loved TiT (hee hee) on the SNES, it is a lot.

TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled and Shadow Complex are the only two games in the line up that I'd consider shelling out the 1200Mp.
MvC2 just isn't worth 1200Mp, but might be worth 600mp if they do a half price offer in the future. I have quite a lot of XBLA games now but I've started to realise that it's silly to spend a lot on digital downloads as I don't own a physical copy and all the benefits that brings. It makes me wonder how the PSP Go is going to do as looking on PSN and the price that full PSP games go for I can't see how it's going to be successful. |
