^ I hope so. I'd imagine the CPU and GPU would be released simultaneously. I've waited this long for a 360 - I can wait for this revision. I just hope it includes the HDMI port as well.

I might check out Catan.... it's funny, just last week a friend of mine and his wife were talking about playing Settlers, and I remembered it from this thread.

How bad would Centipede suck in wide-screen? The game is a pillar-box ratio-game, so unless you play it sideways, you'd have to put up with some huge bars on the sides. And that's not even mentioning the lack of a track-ball, which is what makes Cenitpede fun in the first place.

my 360 froze on me once. I've had it for about 1 1/2 months now.
Is this something to worry about? or is it normal for it to freeze every now and then?

Don't most of the retro arcade games have the huge bars on the left and right sides already...they just make them colorful with logos and whatnot.

No track ball does seem odd though.

Yes, it's out. 800 pts. for all eight characters, or 500 for either the Hero or Villain packs.

Have had a great time so far with Hulk and Venom.

(Note that these same characters will be included with the upcoming Marvel UA Gold Edition.)

Yeah, but none of them have nearly as skinny or tall a ratio as Centipede or Millipede do.

Actually, most of the arcade games I've heard about on Live are of the same vertical orientation excluding TMNT.

This proves Jack Thompson correct. We're monsters.
