Braid's high price of 1200 Microsoft Points was a cause of much debate among gamers. There's no denying that it helped set a precedent once Microsoft realized it could get away with it, and now 1200 MS Points has become the norm for any XBLA game that threatens to be good. However, if for some reason you didn't surrender to Microsoft's ransom, let it be known that Braid is now available for 800 Moon Golds!
The deal is for Gold subscribers only, and will last all week. This announcement marks the return of Xbox Live's "Deal of the Week" which means Old Man Nelson will announce another temporary price cut next week. Of course, it's hard to call it a price cut when most of these games would have been released for 800 points anyway before MS realized how much it could nickel-and-dime customers.
Still, if you get the game this week (or got it for free like I did) then you can laugh, laugh, laugh at the IDIOTS who bought it for full price. Oh my God what IDIOT FANBOYS!

It's rare I feel so strongly about a game, but this one did it for me.
NO U
;)
no seriously, this game isnt worth much to me.
@Rosseh. Most of us either pay $50 a year or $8 a month....both are are good prices for me. I guess not so much for you... :( That arguement is getting quite stale.
Yay now you can buy Rumble message!!!
no really we can only buy MS points in ways that make it impossible to buy much, usually one thing or maybe two. Thats my gripe with M$
Are you serious? I just bought this damn game last week! I should have just waited.
GET IT! HAHAHAHAHA!!
I want a good deal on Mega Man 9 next week
So... I'll just pirate this regardless of whatever price cuts he puts in. I mean, it's what he wants! ^_^
