Free expansions for Lumines ! (woo)
And a price reduced Lumines (800pts)
Q Entertainment confirmed to Kotaku today that Lumines Live for the Xbox Live Arcade will receive an influx of downloadable content next month, presumably timed to coincide with the one-year anniversary of its original release (October 18th of last year).

First up is the "Rockin' Holiday Pack," which will hit the Xbox Live Marketplace on October 17th packing 20 seasonal themes for Challenge Mode, including those linked to autumn, winter, and Halloween (pictured above). No word yet on pricing for the set, though a previous Booster Pack release was priced at 600 Microsoft points ($7.50).

Also expected in October are free skins based on Genki Rockets' singles "Breeze" and "Heavenly Star" (video below), which will be available for a limited time to Xbox Live Gold members. It is currently unclear whether this is the same "Heavenly Star" skin given away in January, but considering the non-existent price tag and hyper-addictive pop stylings of Genki Rockets, it should be a must-download for Lumines Live owners.

I'm spending way more on points than I am on retail releases at the moment. Now I have to buy yet more.

Ooh good. For some reason I thought EEEE was coming out next year. Not sure why I thought that.

There were rumours that it was 2008 after the Tokyo Games Show:

Also - from the same site here are a few gameplay tips for EEEE.

I bought the Heavenly Star skin on my 360 premium ages ago. I thought I'd just be able to redownload it when I upgraded to an Elite. No chance. It's not available for download and there's no sign of it in my download history. Bit of a pisser if MS can do that to random downloads.

It's listed here (I think):

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/marketpl ... adpack.htm

as part of the Tokyo Club Mix Pack: SOS Charity Campaign Pack (350 MS Points).

Edit: It seems that Heavenly Star was free only for a limited period. :?

That's not what I bought PVB. I bought a single skin. Heavenly Star and I now can't redownload it. I paid for it too. It wasn't free at the time.

Yeah, I dug deeper and found out it was only a limited time thing (but they gave the impression it was only free for a limited time), but as you say, it's dropped off the list now. :?

That's the thing. It shouldn't have dropped off my list. I paid 150 points for it.

If you've an hour to spare you could phone the MS support line to get the 150 points re-imbursed. :) :wink:

It's a bit difficult to prove since MS also removed it from my downloaded files list. That was kind of them. It doesn't matter anyway. It's free tomorrow.
