Tower Bloxx Deluxe coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade this month photo

Digital Chocolate -- best known for its work in the mobile space -- is moving into the console world this month. 
 
On October 21 it will be releasing its first console game, Tower Bloxx Deluxe, for Xbox LIVE Arcade. Based on the popular mobile title, the game has you using a crane to drop boxes on top of one another, balancing them as they get higher. The XBLA version will feature multiplayer modes for up to four players, both cooperatively and competitive.
 
This thing where you drop boxes from the sky will cost 800 MS Points, which I'd imagine is going to be a hard sell for someone who's been playing the cheaper versions on their cell phone for so many years. Simple as it is, Tower Bloxx is actually a pretty fun... on the cell phone. We'll have to wait to see how that translates to a console controller.
 
Anyone out there interested in this? Would you be if it cost less than 800 MS Points?

Isn't it free on phones? I know a friend had a game exactly like this on his phone.

@artha14 my phone had a demo free, sort of like my PC. I'm sure Tower Bloxx Deluxe is on the pc, so I assume the Xbox version will be like that rather than the cell-phone game.

I'd pay 400ms points tops. I play enough of these games at work via Flash.

Am with the 400msp vote. 800 is way too much when I have it for free on my mobile. Plus, it'd hardly the sort of game that needs HD to do it justice. Or for that matter, a widescreen. You need tallscreen for this kind game.

A ripoff if you ask me. The codebase is already there, and I'm sure it didn't cost much to port to 360.

artha: I think only the demo version is free on phones, not the full version.
scsitransfer: Ya! Me too!
MesonW: Umm, if you think a java based mobile game can be simply "ported" into a XBLA game, you clearly do not know anything about game development. :-o
