Update: Microsoft has since "corrected" Lode Runner's price on the Xbox Live Marketplace, bringing it to the originally announced cost of 1200 MS Points ($15).

As promised, Tozai and SouthEnd's downloadable update of pit-digging classic Lode Runner hit the Xbox Live Marketplace today, but at a lower price than was announced.

Instead of 1200 Microsoft Points ($15), it's currently selling at 800 MS Points ($10). No word if the lower price will actually last, but Joystiq points out that Amazon.com is selling the download (via its Xbox Live Store) at the game's original $15 price.

$15 is not a good price point for this game. For one, it's just fresh paint on a really old game concept. $10 would have been perfect.

Is there multiplayer in it?

I saw it for 800 points this morning on xbox.com and jumped on it. I had a gut feeling it was a mistake and was hoping I could take advantage of it. I see it's 1200 points now but I already purchased and downloaded it so I should be good.

This makes complete sense and will definitely make the decision to buy much easier.
