What did people pay for this before? $15 (1200 points) is what it was offered for on PC at launch right?

PAX is this weekend and all this week Xbox LIVE Gold Members can save 50% on Penny Arcade Episode 2. Normally 1600 points, Penny Arcade Episode 2 is the latest Deal of the Week at 800 points.

Add Penny Arcade Episode 2 to your Xbox 360 download queue

Edit: Corrected the price

I had been waiting for a price drop on this. Yeah, I know that's lame but I knew it would happen eventually.

There appears to be some confusion over the price. Major Nelson writes:

But Marketplace shows it for 1200 points. :confused:

Major Nelson updated his post after I had posted it. I'll make the necessary changes. Thanks for the heads up Mysterio!

No problem, but marketplace.xbox.com is still selling it for 1200, not 800. Then again, this is hardly the first time the left hand (Marketplace on 360) didn't know what the right hand (Marketplace on web) was doing with the DotW.

EDIT: Stupid me. I thought I was logged in with my Gold account, but I wasn't. It now shows as 800 while logged in. Nothing to see here! Move along!

I never got around to buying this, though I always intended to.

I really enjoyed the first one so Ill definitely grab this. Not that I need another game to play.

It's a funny adventure game/RPG that uses an ATB system like that found in Chrono Trigger with characters being able to team up for attacks. It also steals from Shadow Hearts a little with mini-games used to power-up (or underpower) special attacks.

I enjoyed these a lot, but they are fairly short. . . . so if you aren't a fan, I don't really know if it's worth the money.
