Three XBLA titles' prices cut

Save over several pence!

Microsoft has temporarily cut the price of three Xbox Live Arcade games for some reason! Isn't that nice?

Bankshot Billiards 2 has been reduced in price from 1200 Microsoft points to 900, while Frogger and Hardwood Spades are both down from 400 to 300.

That means that you save a whopping GBP 2.55 / EUR 3.49 on BB2, and a mind-bending GBP 0.85 / EUR 1.16 on Frogger and Hardwood.

The offer runs for a week. Just log into Xbox Live Arcade with your A button handy to take advantage.

Let's hope it doesn't overshadow the Halo 3 launch, eh?
