Bionic Commando Rearmed NOT swinging in at $5 this week [update]

by Alexander Sliwinski { May 18th 2009 at 8:20AM }

Major Nelson notes that this week's Xbox "deal of the week" (which actually lives up to its name, for once) is Bionic Commando Rearmed for 400

($5). That's less than what you'll spend at the McDonalds drive-thru -- and a whole lot healthier.

The only thing diminishing our fanfare of this deal is that the PSN already dropped the BCR price last week. Either way, the price is something worth jumping for joy over. Sorry, Radd. Too soon for jumping jokes?

Update: The Major was apparently given misinformation. BCR is still $5 on PS3's PSN.

it's never too early for jumping jokes.

Yeh man. all i want to do the entire time I'm playing that game is jump. super annoying.

hmm, I wonder if this is just for a week or a permanent drop? I know it's "deal of the week" (temporary) but it seems silly for it to jump back up to $10 if it's $5 permanently on PSN.

If the price drop is permanent then MS will have no choice but match the price.
It is their policy after all.

It's not permanent on the PSN.

Are they gonna do another arcade compilation? I'd seriously love that, I dislike buying digitally.

Hmmph, the one time I actually would make use of the deal of the week and my Xbox is broken. If I queue it up now on Xbox.com at 400 points, will it still download at that price when I get my Xbox back from repair? Caus this price is only gonna last a week and I imagine it'll take 2-4 weeks for my Xbox to be fixed.

When you buy thru Xbox.com it actually charges you the cost of the points and then adds to your queue. So once its in your queue you've already paid the correct price.

Definitely getting this.

Bob @ May 18th 2009 10:06AM

Well worth getting. Love this game!

What I want to know is what happened to the trophy patch that Joystiq got my hopes up for? I e-mailed Capcom...no response yet....*sigh*

sayzar @ May 18th 2009 11:10AM

this week's deal is marvel ultimate alliance villain pack. did I miss something? when is this 400 pt price in effect?

I love this game! I got it for 10 bucks last year and it was worth every cent. Too bad Radd is too stupid to learn how to jump. Some people can't snap their fingers, some people can't roll their r's and some people just can't jump. Sigh.
