  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Basically, you can pay 50 cents (40 points) to play an old arcade game like Asteroids or Centipede if you don't wanna buy them for $3 to $5 (240 to 400 points)

Neat idea, we'll see how well that flies. If it were for more recent games, like 5-10 year old games instead of 30, I could see it making far more coin. But with only older games it may be a bit of a hard sell.

Thats cool if it has a scoreboard for people to compete on, which is really what the arcade classics are about.

For sure. I hope they don't miss out on something like that, particularly with the Leaderboard system they already have for most XBLA games
