I had been wanting to purchase the Xbox Live Arcade game Braid, for quite some time having especially liked the demo. I do not know the reason, but the normal price of 1200 msp (Microsoft Points) seemed too high to me, no matter how much I enjoyed the demo, and so I waited. The deal for this week on Xbox Live is that the game is only 800 msp, which after you do the conversion of dollars to msp (80 msp = $1) is a difference of $5, so I went ahead and downloaded it.

There is also a delightful theme that was released for the Xbox 360 dashboard, but the new premium themes cost 250 msp, which is about $4 just for a theme. I’m not sure I’m ready to put down any money on that either.
