Lumines Live Downloads Arrive Next Week On Discount

Three new packages of Lumines Live! content will be available for download on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 beginning Wednesday, January 24th.  Two of the add-on packs will be available at special promotional prices, and one of them will be free to Xbox Box Live Gold Members for a limited time.

Folks who were ticked off about the nickel and dime approach might be happy to find that the discounts are pretty deep on the new downloads.  Think of it as a 2/3 off sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace.  Check out the screenshots for a glimpse of what you'll be buying.
