Microsoft’s
latest Deal of the Week is for Xbox LIVE Arcade title
N+. Starting today, you can purchase the downloadable game for 560 Microsoft Points instead of the standard 800. Money is being saved here, but I can’t do the math. My degree wasn’t in “Moonbuck-tology.”
N+ was released on Xbox LIVE Arcade in February 2008. People seemed to like it: the game has an outstanding average on Metacritic and it won, like, mad awards. More importantly, I enjoyed the title. It’s a digestible platformer with wonderful controls, physics, and challenging puzzles.
Even though 560 Points doesn’t seem like real money (shocker) it totally is. So, how many of you plan to whip out the billfold for this? Or did you already buy N+ eight billion years ago?

As for the game, I haven't played N+ yet, and now will be a good time to grab it.
Such a good game, too. I have the PSP one as well for when I need to collect me some gold on the go
I wish Microsoft would put better games on these deals of the week. I know some people love the games done thus far, but nothing has made me want to buy them. I was tempted to buy Bionic Commando: Rearmed, but ultimately passed on it. The only deal that I bought was the car add-on pack for PGR4, which I haven't used it yet, so I don't know why I even bothered to buy it. I would love to see games like Poker Smash for half price, because I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

I think I'll just spoil Microsoft's buisness right now.
N for free
That is an extremely annoying way to look at it. I am more surprised than I have ever been that apparently no one knows that 80 MS points = $1 dollar, and therefore the math couldn't be easier. Just take any MS point amount (560) and divide it by 80. You then have the exact dollar amount that it costs ($7). That's why stuff costs 800 MS points, because it's 10 bucks, which seems like a common denomination nowadays.
CalcPlus FTW.
I enjoyed the hell out of the DS version but couldn't really value it as a $10 console game. $5 is a much better price point. Someone let me know when Maw goes on sale.
Speaking of which, I need to go back and try and improve my times. For a little while there I was actually a contender on the leaderboards.
Yeah, I know its a great game and totally worth the money, but after playing the demo, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Plus at that time I was saving my points for Big Surf Island, and I'm happy with my decision on that one, because BSI is awesome!
