Price of Sonic XBLA games slashed

Happy birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog! It's hard to believe that it's been 19 years since you arrived on the scene, and almost as many years since you appeared in a game that was any good.

But 19 years it is, and to celebrate the prices of Sonic games on Xbox Live Arcade are being slashed.

As reported by Major Nelson, the deal includes the first three Sonic titles plus Sonic & Knuckles.

They'd usually set you back 400 Microsoft Points each, which is £3.40 in the old money. However, they will be available for 240 Points (just over two quid) this Thursday 24th June.

The deal will last for one day only, so quick sticks.
