Lumines Live Will Cost 1900mp

But then, once you hit a certain point in the 'Mission' or 'Vs. CPU' modes of the game, you'll be asked to pay up again for the ability to keep on progressing. All in all, you'll have to spend another 700 points ($8.75) to get the rest of the levels, bringing the real cost of Lumines Live to nearly $24.

Well there has been a lot of pricing info speculation wrong for titles so far.  Lets hope this isn't the case with this title.  However, look at the psp version which will cost probably $40.  I agree though that if this is true it is too pricey for an arcade game.  Anything arcade title that can fit under 50mb shouldn't break the bank like that.  I could see them making the mp seperate, but to finish the game you gotta buy an addon?  That's rediculous.

I hope it's not gonna cost too much but Lumines is such a good game that I think I'll be getting this anyway. I'm looking forward to Every Extend Extra as well. Just recently got a PS2 version of REZ from Japan so I'm playing that until then!

Retarded in my opinion. Just charge 1600mp up front. People are going to be pissed who don't know about the hidden costs.

It does seem ridiculous if it's true and it isn't excusable because it's an Arcade game.

If people bought a game like Halo 3 and then had to pay to play the last three levels then there would be outcry.

Wow. whats so good about a puzzle game that makes it so expensive?
I cant see paying more than 800pts for a puzzle game unless it pleasures me
in ways that just aren't possible. (yet)

So it is a puzzle game.. I looked it up on google and found Lumines as a puzzle game but didnt think it was true. I thought there might be a different version or something. I cant believe a puzzle game is going to be so expensive tongue.gif
