Saw the game today (October 22nd at Best Buy, cost of 39.99 Canadian). Should have been an XBLA title IMHO, 40 dollars is way too much particularly given everything else hitting the shelves.

I noticed this posted by one of my colleagues earlier yesterday. I had no idea there was a Monopoly coming to the 360 (and apparently to the Wii and PS2 as well). Judging from the second screenshot there will be little party games involved as well. The idea of playing simultaneous turn Monopoly is VERY appealing to me.
I've been a big fan of board games on XBLA. I'm guessing this one will be retail though since it's also being released on the PS2 (and the achivement points add up to way more than 200).
Any word on pricing? I'd buy it if it's a budget title ....

Regardless, I suppose I'll get the Wii version if it's done well.
ed: also, it should cost like $20. Full price is ridiculous for this game.
I can't think of a better game to really bring out the best in people.

Ditto for wiiware.
But Lost made me really want to.
Monopoly is awesome, if you extend/ignore the rules and start playing it like a stock market -- favors, loans, backdoor deals, last minute saves, immunity/free hotel stays. It kicks ass, and gets really intense.
Unfortuately, this almost certainly won't allow shit like that, so this WILL suck.

"Tell ya what, I know you don't have the money to pay for this stay, so let's make a deal. You can stay here for free, but the next three times I land on your spaces I don't oh you a thing"
"You fucker... okay..."
I would sig this if it wouldn't make my sig too big.
I bet they also won't let you use the Clue weapons as game pieces either. Worthless.
He looks almost like claymation.
Does claymation freak you out too?
and then it's not XBLA
edit: also epic failure not having a Boardwalk-related achievement
Maybe if you wait, they'll put one up on Live in a few months.
Worked with Tetris.
Here is a link with some general tips.
The one thing it doesn't mention is that you should always pay the 10% income tax if you land on it the first two times around the board. You start with $1500 and no matter how much property you have, it's worth exactly what you paid for it (well, the list price anyway). Including houses. One you earn about $500 (basically pass GO three times...), then pay the flat $200 fee.
Also, if folks don't like Monopoly because the game takes too long, they've either got the attention span of a doorknob or they're playing with house rules. Don't play with house rules if you want a fast game. Don't be afraid to make trades to complete monopolies. Don't forget that if an unowned property is landed on, the player must either buy it or they can decline and it goes up for auction to the highest bidder. This includes the player who landed on it. And bidding can start at any price.
Seriously, if the price is right, I'm picking this up.
Why do you think that? The rule is there to help the game go quicker.
Do not engage the Watermelons.
I want Star Wars and Beatles Monopoly.
No, it slows it down. How is wasting time auctioning off a piece of land make the game go faster?
It shouldn't take more than two minutes or so to auction a property. The faster somebody owns it (remember, it can be for any price) the faster players are on their way toward gaining monopolies, making others go bankrupt, and ending the game. Otherwise, you have to rely on luck for somebody to land on it and then want to buy it.
If the auction takes too long because everybody is just pulling a Price is Right bidding war, then that's hardly the game's fault. Break the bidding by upping the price. Or establish a minimum bid increase value.
Do not engage the Watermelons.
Sure as hell freaks ME out.

Personally I'd prefer a board-game version any day. Sure the online stuff might be cool, but I guess I've always considred Monopoly as always being a game for when friends and family are around. Plus you can make up your own rules and backhanded deals that the game itself can't really take account of if the rules is fixed like in an electronic game.
I think this is a big FAIL.
The game belongs on XBLA, no idea why the fuck they went retail.
Pay them in monapoloy money, I'm sure someone will get a kick out of it.
