I just bought Joust last night for 49 cents!!!! I saw the deal at slickdeals.

http://www.pcgamesupply.com/buy/Joust-XBLA-Download/

The whole process made me nervous but it's so worth it. I was friggin nervous about the whole process but the reviews and ratings at resellerratings were pretty high. so after you place the order, they'll give you a call within a half an hour. they'll ask you for your full name and your billing address. and then they'll process the order, and after that, you log into their web site, go to your orders, and then click on the little image to view your DLC code that you enter on your Xbox or at Xbox.com in the redeem code section. and voila!

the other thing that made me nervous is the game has been removed from XBLA because it's a Midway game and because Midway went bye-bye and there was licensing issues, a bunch of Midway games got removed including Joust. but I entered the DLC code and everything worked!!!

Joust has versus and co-op. Co-op is when one person runs out of lives, the game ends for both of you. And your score is added together. it has ranked matches but who knows if you can find people to play online (though didn't have time to try and with Xbox Live being slammed by all the updates, it wasn't worth it).

The game looks great and plays great. I don't remember if it's arcade perfect in terms of gameplay. but the graphics were spruced up a bit (not to the point of being a modern game but better than the original graphics).

for 49 cents!!!!

if this has already been posted, so sorry! just got so excited for 49 cents!

Definitely worth it

eh what the hell, I went for it.

That is a hell of a find. Too bad I already own it! Kudos OP. I hope a bunch of CAGs can snap up this classic.

Why does someone have to CALL you? I love Joust, but no thanks.

Well, what the hell. Have some funds in my paypal account from some code sales on Ebay, just for an extra layer of safety in buying from a site I'm new to. A delisted XBLA game for $0.50? Why not go ahead and do it?

ditto .. hehe

The site looked a little sketchy but it has good ratings: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/PC_Game_Supply

Easy 200/200 GS.

Went for it as well, isn't this delisted on XBLA now ?

I got this game free with an Xbox Live kit years ago, maybe now there might be a few people online to get the online specific achievements.

CAG is about to break their 30 minute guarantee with so many Joust orders.

Loved this game as a kid, thanks for the find.

Funny I went to x360a.org to check how hard the achievements are and somebody had posted this deal there more than 2 months ago.

I went for it too. 50 cents and I can pay with Paypal, figured I'd give it a shot. Waiting for phone call

nice thanks OP

WTF kinda website calls to verify orders? I'm at work and can't be bothered. If it's up tonight I may bite. It's worth double what a arcade play would cost just to play it again.

There really is no reason to call at all...

I would like to do it but I don't want to talk to people on the phone.

the achievements are pretty easy to get (at least the gimmes). my friend and I played it last night and the achievement notification kept popping up gangbusters during our co-op gaming sessions.
