Saint's Row (Xbox 360)

I downloaded and played through the demo from xbox live. Badass!! This game may be a GTA knockoff, but sooooo much better. All of the little changes I wished were in GTA are in Saint's Row. I believe the release date is August 28th. I can't wait. I still think that $59.99 as a starting price for games is a little steep. One of my few gripes with xbox 360.

$60! Wow. I've been in the dark for awhile.

No game is worth $60.

I don't have a 360 and I won't be purchasing one anytime soon.

Ditto

I love my 360, and Saint's Row looks to be a nice entry in the GTA genre (especially since the real deal won't be out until late 2007). I agree on the $60 price point for new games. It sucks, and Peter Moore's recent comments suggest that Microsoft would like to see the increases disappear as well (their first party games have all come out at $50). I've taken to renting my games from Gamefly as most of the time I've beaten a new game or am tired of it within a month or two anyway, and I can send it back for another at a fraction of the cost of buying and trading. They also have an option to keep the game (usually at about $45 for new titles) it you love the online play or otherwise realize that the game is a keeper. The only compaint that I have is that their central office is in California, and it takes 3-4 days for a game to ship in either direction leaving you with only one game for more than a week when you want to change something out.
