In all seriousness, I'm just trying to gauge when to expect it, no big rush. Thanks!
I'll get it out this week, I just keep forgetting to take the thing with me when I go out.

It's not the years, it's the mileage.

I spent the $12.50 so I could download the Tatooine mission and well, I beat it in about 15 minutes. It's fun to see Jabba, to kill Boba Fett and Obi Wan but I felt a bit ripped off. More so now since the only way I can play the Hoth level is if I buy the damn game AGAIN. That is not going to happen.

yep, the game was 800 ms points, and of course, you can't just get 800, so I had to spend for the 1000 ms points..and now I have an extra 200 laying around I can't do shit with...unless I wanna use real money to dress up my avatar..and screw that noise. And what is with the MS point system anyways?

There's some reason for it that makes no sense.

It's simple... 800 seems like less cash. Same way as a store selling something for 9.99 instead of 10.00, but more extreme. Still, it's retarded for conversion purposes.

I'd be willing to bet it's for the exact same reason you mentioned. You only want to spend $10, but couldn't. So your only options were to not buy the thing, or spend the extra money. Over all the Live users, that adds up. It's bullshit, but if there's one thing Microsoft knows, it's making money.

Well yeah, that's the ACTUAL reason, but they had some bullshit that made no sense a while back that I can't quite remember.

I thought they fired most of the people who worked on this game. How did they release another version with more content?

I'm kinda fuzzy on that too, but given that the original was like the third or fourth best selling game for 2008 (or something...in the top 10 I'm pretty sure).
