XBLA prices slowly rising, says Microsoft
So far, 2011 has seen 20 1,200-plus games land on XBLA. In 2010, 27 of the 85 games released for service cost 1,200 points or more, an 8 percent increase over 2009, during which 21 out of 86 titles hit that price point. Charla attributes the gradual pricing increase to an increase in the number of quality titles on the platform: "I think the games that we're shipping -- a Limbo or a Castle Crashers -- are as good as anything on the market." He went on to say that while it's "really gratifying" to know that gamers are willing to pay a "premium" for digital content, it is the market that decides what direction prices will go.

GuyNamedBobArrow This is pathetic. Gouge your customers any more? I can see paying for xbl as it its a better service than psn but really. Most xbla games are mediocre at best...microsoft doesnt control the prices, the publishers do
Yeah the publishers set the price but microsft probly increased the amount of money they have to pay to make and take a game and put it on xbox.
Most likely greedy on MS Part. maybe they will get the point when something better comes out... or they control all the money.
