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. MAME? by SkyWalk423 · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    If you mod your xbox can you run MAME on it? What would be involved in making this happen? I've considered modding my xbox but haven't had a convincing reason to go to the trouble. This would be worth the trouble. Better than Xbox Live Arcade, infinite number of games, and completely free (perhaps of questionable legality though).

    Can someone enlighten me? (I guess I could google it but i'm lazy)
