Xbox Live Arcade Details Emerge

Posted by Zonk on from the classic-games-on-next-gen-consoles dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNN/Money's latest Game Over column spills the beans on Xbox Live Arcade (previously mentioned on Slashdot), Microsoft's forthcoming effort to attract more casual gamers to its console. The feature, which will offer classic arcade games and popular online fare like Bejeweled, will launch Nov. 3, but as the column points out, it will have a very small line-up of titles and will charge rather high fees to purchase them."

  1. Let me get this straight.... by dogbowl · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, I'm expected to go out and spend $150 dollars on an x-box, $50 on x-box live and then another $10 dollars just so I can play bejewelled?

    Why don't I just play solitare while I'm at work?
