why do almost all games (Microsoft, Makers ? ) think they can charge this much ?
I've stopped buying all arcade games until they get their senses together. Only the absolute elite games (Shadow Complex, DeathSpank etc) should warrant a price at that level. The rest, such as this should be at 800 or below.
They are only shooting them-self in the foot if they try to shoehorn almost all new games into the 1200 (or above ) level. To be successful there has to be a relation to the perceived quality/scope of the game towards the price, else you will loose the customers confidence and in the end they will sell less games.
A good example is Wii, almost no 3rd party games warrants the full price they ask, and hence they sell like crap. People has lost confidence in the quality/price. And the whole platform/market fails.

The music is a drastic improvement over the old casino version in the leaked alpha, at least.

Watch this in 720p instead of the shackvideo. it's a different level. But when you watch it in 'full' res things look much better.
