Xbox Live Connects Four $10 Classic Board Games

March 18, 2009 8:35 AM

Kicking off the "Days of Arcade" promotion, EA Bright Light's downloadable board game collection Hasbro Family Game Night hit the Xbox 360's online marketplace today.

The free 237MB download packs four demos of classic Hasbro games: Connect 4, Yahtzee, Battleship, and Scrabble. The full version of each individual game runs $10, and requires players to have downloaded the Hasbro Family Game Night client.

The three other promised Hasbro titles--Boggle, Sorry! and Sorry! Sliders--are listed as "coming soon" within the selection menu of the main Family Game Night launcher.

I think this is awesome but I just cant figure out how they think that each game is going to be worth $10.

  If they did a bundle I could see myself paying $20 for all four but yeah $10 for each means I probably won't get any of them.
