(Considering SMB is a couple of years old and still at 1200 msp at regular price seems to indicate that price drops are not frequent but I have basically zero experience with xbla games.)
Usually games go for 50% off when they go on sale. If you're patient (and lucky) you'll be able to occasionally find a better deal. I bought Braid when it first went on sale for 1/3 off. A year and a half later it hit 2/3 off its original price. I don't think it's been on sale since then. As long as you buy it on sale you won't feel too bad when/if it goes on sale for slightly cheaper.
