The piece of content targeted as the Deal of the Week is
Lode Runner. According to official release, the Xbox LIVE Arcade title’s price has been reduced by 33 percent, bringing it down to 800 Microsoft Banana Dollars. Starting today and rolling through September 21st, Xbox LIVE Gold members can purchase the game for its new promotional price courtesy of Microsoft.
Lode Runner XBLA, by the way, is a revival of the 1983 platformer. Possessing high-resolution (no way!) visuals and multiplayer options (double- no way!) this release tickled old-school fans and drove new ones nuts with its hardcore 2D puzzles and few allowances for error.
What do you guys think about
Lode Runner? Should people get this thing because of the new lower price?

Smooth, Microsoft. Now give me a real deal of the week please.
That's not to say that PSN sucks, it doesn't. But it's a comparison of a baked potato to a fully-loaded, twice-baked, jumbo Idaho spud when you break it down to brass tacks. The only thing that PSN has is an internet browser...and that's it (aside from Fat Princess).
Case in point: PSN doesn't offer you Rez, Ikaruga or Virtual ON. That might not matter to some gamers, but those gamers need to catch an education and a slap across dey lips.
Shadow Complex was great, but I still enjoy the XBLA remake of SOTN better. I'll also give you Trials - absolutely a blast to play.
You do NOT get better games for fifty dollars. Xbox 360 users get exclusives because it makes financial sense for a developer to make certain titles on for the 360's larger install base.
I own both systems, love both, but can't stand bullsh*t statements like "But it's a comparison of a baked potato to a fully-loaded, twice-baked, jumbo Idaho spud when you break it down to brass tacks." That's a gross hyperbole, and your argument is based entirely on bias towards HD remakes of old games.
