"We wanted to be able to do something special for Xmas, but it felt like a sale only 2 months after launch would be a kinda shitty thing to do to the fans who just bought it," Team Meat's Edmund McMillen explains. A sale straight away, though, would work nicely as "a way to reward the fans for buying the game at launch."

Super Meat Boy will skid onto XBLA tomorrow, where it'll exclusively offer free downloadable chapters through a feature dubbed 'Teh Internets.' The sale will end in November. PC, Mac and WiiWare editions are also on the way, due to be released later.
