Kinda temps me, but this is really all it should have cost in the first place.

Hopefuly we might see triggerheart exelica discounted in the next few weeks if this trend continues.

R-Type Dimensions Discounted on Xbox Live
Grab the remakes of the original R-Type and R-Type 2 on Xbox Live Arcade for just 10 bucks this week.

By Dustin Quillen, 08/03/2009

Microsoft's Deal of the Week promotion soldiers on through the summer with this week's discounted Xbox Live Arcade game, R-Type Dimensions. The reimagined-for-XBLA double-threat of the original R-Type and R-Type 2 is now going for just $10.00 (800 Microsoft points) -- 33 percent off its normal price of $15.00 (1200 Microsoft points).

Anyone thinking about grabbing this two-pack of classic Irem shoot-em-ups? Now would be the time, because this discount will only last until next Monday. Those laser-firing space fetuses aren't going to just shoot themselves, y'know.

I bought R-Type Dimensions within an hour or so of it being released back in Feb, (the day I got my 360 in fact) but for those that haven't commited, now is the time. I say it was worth it for $15 IMHO, so now at $10 there's no reason not get it.

This is a really good price for both games. The way the 3D handled is nice.

I too paid full price. I have no regrets cause we need to support this awesome genre of gaming in this age of saturated FPS.
