So there are two options. I don't see a problem with that.

Some more information: http://www.gamervision.com/gamer/coop/news/article/game_room_pricing_revealed

Buying the game for XBox360 OR PC: 240 MS points
Buying the game for XBox360 AND PC: 400 MS points
Playing any game once: 40 MS points

Game rooms are individual arcades, no lines. I'm unsure of how many people you can invite to your game room at a time, but it's at least 1, and they can play any game you own for free, even if they don't own it. Games are up to 2 players, local or online.

Any word if we can play the games I buy offline?

Probably if you own it you will be able to.

That is what I thought about Indie games. But I have to connect to play them

Well, at least this is something about games, unlike that Natal bullshit. Props to MS, I thought they were all about _ruining_ gaming. I should of known as long as they could rip us off they'd still care about games.

Price is less than Nintendo's virtual console.  Have to wonder if Genesis games will show up on there, or we go pre-NES with this.  Maybe get some Odyssey 2 in there also, and Bally Astrocade.

What you seem to fail to understand is that CES isn't about the games. It is about the tech

It would be better if this were a free ad based thing like 1v100 but 3$ isn't so bad for a game you and your friends get to play.

Now though some info on achievements would be nice.. If they even will exist. The fact that indie games doesn't have them stiffled their sales.

Too many categories now as well lol:
xbox originals
games on demand
xbla
indie games
game room
1 vs 100 ( I know it's an xbla game, but there's a space on the dashboard dedicated to it.)

the new update needs to fix the clutter when it drops, because that is the least of the problems.

Should be called Retrocade and it's better than nothing, but you can easily download all those games for free (illegally) off the net
