We already told you about the classic Amiga game Speedball 2 landing on Xbox Live Arcade on October 17. Well, it will be joined by the visually astonishing funk-a-delic music bombing game Every Extend Extra Extreme, a remake of the PSP game Every Extend Extra, itself a remake of the PC flash game Every Extend. (Whew, what a chain - and you’ll be saying that when playing EEEE, too.) Each will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10 USD).

Also landing on the Marketplace that day will be some new Lumines Live! content, including the “Rockin’ Holiday Pack” for 600 Microsoft Points ($7.50 USD). For that money, you’ll get a whopping twenty new skins. That doesn’t include a month-long special of “Heavenly Star” and “Breeze” skins each being free for the next 4 weeks. Even bigger news is that Lumines Live! itself has dropped from 1200 Microsoft Points to 800. This is the first time any Xbox Live Arcade game ever had a permanent price drop.
