    It's going to be available on Wednesday once LiVE is back up and running and will cost a whopping 1200 points with an optional 600 points for additional skins and music.

    1,200 is pricy enough, but Lumines is a great game, I'd have sold my psp long ago if it wasn't for Lumines, guess I can now

    great game, but i just have the feeling i spent my cash on a glorified demo :( gotta wait longer for a load of packs to be released.... and you have to buy them... its fun tho!

    and its a kick in the teeth that you can see the rest of the games on the menu.. u just cant select them

    I won't be buying this, the microtransactions thing does not sit well with me. I don't want to play 5 levels of a game and then have to buy another pack to continue, that's BS.

    t takes a while to 'click' but when it does you'll enjoy it just as much.

    Just as addictive as it was on the psp

    I'll throw down the high score gauntlet for yiz

    Scored 200,000 or thereabouts on my first game last night

    I'll try beat it next time I play

    mad! fair play on the high score! i never played it on psp before so im only a 1st timer! any tips? i was only getting about 30k or thereabouts... find it really hard to make out the colours when it goes into that white and red circle theme style....

    Some of the skins in the 360 version are shocking, particularly the one with the paws on the blocks

    It's one of those that you get better at with practice, mastering the blocks with the same colours on the diagonals are the key, things get very congested very quickly if you don't slot them in somewhere

    Generally always try to leave yourself options with your blocks, so no matter what they throw at you, you can fit it in

    90% of it you'll pick up yourself as you keep playing

    The only thing is, to get a really high score you have to put hours in

    I think I got up to around 500,000 on the psp and it took about three hours

    cool, got a bit of a craving for the game now :)

    i'd say i could play alot better if it just stuck to the same skin, or else just used useable ones!
