I would love to see Geometry Wars too NuAngel.

Giving away 800 Microsoft points to every XBL user for gold and silver is just silly, microsoft won’t even dream of doing that, out of the 8 million people or more that have XBL, how many do you think are active gamertags? in my books not many and microsoft will lose money, plan and simple.

I own half the arcade games out, this makes me a little worried.

I think a better solution would be 800 pts so we could choose something we don’t already have; that’s a win-win situation. But I still think it’s a great thing they’re doing, regardless; customer service at it’s best, at least the effort’s there.

I hope it’s:
A) Not a game I already have (anyone else expecting Geometry Wars?)
B) Not a game that bites.

i would like it more if i would get another 4-5 days of xbox live, so that i can play some more doa.
i’ll probably dont like the arcade game anyway, and maybe there was already a free release planned. And they’re just using this as a safeguard.

i duno. Maybe it’s because im dutch.

Great idea by Microsoft!

I agree with TXPaladin, it would be better if they just gave away at least 800 points and let the community choose which arcade title they want. In just hope its something worth playing.

Does anybody know when that new Street Fighter is coming to the Xbox Arcade?

lmao Yaris 2. it won’t be that but a promotional game wouldn’t be a stretch. it’ll be a game that CAN be free. that includes existing games and new games that fit the bill of what i outlined.

publishers aren’t keen on making free Arcade games and if MS wants them to be free some $ incentive has to exchange hands. so the likelihood of it being a big title is slim. it’ll be from a small, independent studio if it’s a new one more than likely.

i know a friend is working on an Xbox Live Arcade title for January that would be a good choice. still, don’t expect a War Worlds or any other big name like that.

I agree with what Deacon says no big company that produces some of the bigger arcade titles is going to allow 8 mil plus free downloads of something they can be selling.

Great DB, I just read your post. So you think we’ll get Yaris 2 for free.

It better not be another Yaris for their sake!
