Until Microsoft comes out with more Arcade titles, I don't see myself touching the 360 again, at least for the next couple of weeks.

Perhaps i'm just behind the video game times but i have never heard of lumines other than it was a tetris-like game. Is this correct? How would skins and music videos enter into it?

If it's like the PSP version, the videos should play behind the blocks as they drop and the skins alter the look of the falling blocks. It's a great game.

May want to update release dates for games.. You have both Halo 3 and Gears of War coming out:

6/30/06

Halo 3

07/01/06

Gears of War

Flay doesn't really update that anymore...I just copied the old thread. Perhaps I'll just get rid of the release dates and review links...

Whats weird about that outpost deal, it may show up as 19.99 in your cart, but the 19.99 on the main page for the points still shows the 19.99 crossed out with the "sale price" button below it....

Boy am I retarded... I just found out over the weekend I could turn on my 360 remotely with my wireless controller by holding down the big green X button... Am I the last person to know this? Or did this happen in an update? :hscratch:

I think you are the last to know about it as it's been there since launch. Welcome to the club! :D

I figured it out the first day I got the machine (which was only 2 weeks go, but still). ;)

Yep I love that green button. It actually allows you to access a lot.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the poker and Galaga Arcade games now. I'm too caught up in Guild Wars to have time for the XBox.

I imagine my 360's blog is not very happy about this. :lol:

I love that site.

Just put in the code and now im back as a gold member (lol) of live for the next 3 months. Now, the most important thing. BRING ON THE SF2!! I just wish i knew how much it would be, id like to purchase Uno and SF2, but i dont want to buy Uno and not have enough left over for SF2. I have the 1600 point card, btw. Anyone have any insight?

Rumor is actually 400 pts. I'm not a fan, but I think that would be a damn good price for it.

Yep. One of the announced features I was looking forward to before launch. You can also shut down the machine the same way.

Is the rumor no SF for another 2 months true ? Someone said Major Nelson had a guy on from xbox live arcade who confirmed this.

I hope not. :(

He said by the end of summer, which is a couple months away.

Well dont feel too bad, thanks to you, now I know...Of course I have only had mine for 2 weeks :D.

I don't think I've ever touched the on/off on the console. I'll say it again, I love that button.

I don't think we'll see more than 3 new arcade games before September.

If they can cut costs, then this would make a lot of sense. Though this probably wouldn't put a dent in the sales of PS3 to early adopters, it could hurt after the Christmas rush.

Chris

^maybe not, but it may sway those that can't find a PS3 this Christmas.

The PREY demo should hit the marketplace 6/22

Chromehounds is rumored for 6/30

I'm definitely keeping my eye on any news relating to a price-drop. I don't think they need to and I wouldn't be surprised if these rumors are just production cost cuts that won't be passed on to the consumer until after the holiday season, but I can say it would certainly push me to join faster.

Just received this email pertaining to the $15 marketplace point cards from Fry's Outpost:
