Toys"R"Us is selling all three versions of Rayman Origins for $19.99 each. Don't be a fool by denying yourself the opportunity to play one of 2011's most tragically unsupported games.
Hey you, Mr. Won't Pay Full Price For Platformers. You should seriously consider supporting the genre you claim to love while the opportunity to do so remains a possibility. The music of Origins alone is worth the price, to say nothing of the art style or game mechanics.

I feel like a jaded gamer. :(
Just bought a copy.... been waiting for a sale like this!!
I'm actually with you. I love platformers -- it's actually my favorite genre -- but I actually didn't like the demo at all. I thought it was boring.
20 deep, huh? That's gross bro.
BTW, Cthulhu Saves the World is only 80MS points ($1.00) on XBL now!!!

I get loving a game and all, but it was out for like.. A month.. amongst an already cluttered-by-amazing-games holiday season... And, for all intent and purpose, is a Rayman game (so it comes with a certain long standing stigma that some people don't give a damn about).
So calling it "tragically unsupported in 2011" based on all those reasons, seems a little over dramatic. Maybe if it came out in June or something, and people ignored it all summer and into the new year, but really...
Nothing wrong with it. It was fun-ish, I guess, and it looked great. But it didn't come off as anything more than a polished 2D platformer to me, which just wasn't enough, unfortunately.
Haven't played it multiplayer yet, but the single player is the perfect amount of difficulty. Not easy, not frustrating. And you only get dropped back to the last nearby checkpoint when you die (minimal loading).
Also, there's plenty of hidden stuff and lots of extra characters and whatnot to mix it up a bit.
FUCK THAT.
This paycheck can't come soon enough, I hope there are still copies left.
Also RIP platformers that aren't first party nintendo
Please, people, if you aren't going to even pay full price for this amazing game, at least give it 20 measly dollars.
You can totes stomp your way through the game, bro.
and i'm not complaining, this is teh best game i've played in years.
though i understand teh hesitation to drop disc-game dough on a sidescroller, this is easily worth as much as uncharted 3 to me.
