I love this game, never got tired of it (except for that tune that's repeated over and over). 800 points seems a bit much for such an oldie, but I'll certainly try the demo.

I'm picking this up as soon as I get home tonight. If anyone wants to do some co-op hit me up!

You could do what I do: Pick it up via xbox.com and call the wife and tell her to turn my Xbox on. ;)

Oh I thought this was a port of the old arcade version. It's cool that they include that, but every "new" Bubble Bobble I've played has been very disappointing. I'll wait until I can get it for $5 since I only want the "classic" version.

And how long would we have to wait for such a thing to happen? Sorry, I'm still new to that Xbox thing.

That would be a great solution if only work didn't block xbox.com ... :(

You never know. Some of the really old arcade ports seemed to drop in price because of their age but for the most part XBLA sales are pretty unpredictable.

It's a lot easier to wait when you have a MAME cabinet, though.
