XBLA: Old XBL Indie Games Drop In Price - What You Should Pick Up?

As of today, the 200MSP price point no longer exists on the Xbox Live Indie Games. Hence, any game that was still sitting at that price is now only 80MSP - a single dollar. Now is the time to get some bargains, and we're here to help. All the games below are now going for cheap, so give them a shot.

Miner Dig Deep is still one of the best Indie Games and at $1 it is a steal.

Thanks for the heads up on these video game deals! Heck, they're finally cheaper than a used copy of old Xbox 360 games.

@Jigsaw hc: I'm with you. This is still the best game on the service. I'd have paid $5 for it and been happy. So simple, so addictive. At $1, anyone who has an internet connection and doesn't own this is an idiot.
