It isn’t often that early adopters are spared paying extra for their wants. However, Super Meat Boy developers Team Meat are launching their Xbox LIVE Arcade game tomorrow at 800 Microsoft Points ($10). That is $5 less than the regular 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) tag. Judging from the review (here), it will be well worth your $10. The deal is good for a limited time, until November, so watch for it tomorrow on the Xbox LIVE Arcade.
Remember that if you spend 2400 Microsoft Points in the month of October, you will also qualify for an extra 800 Microsoft Points for downloading even more fun. It’s a win-win for early adopters! See more details on the October Xbox LIVE Marketplace deal here.
