MS is trying to make its own virtual console to attract the old school players. its cool.

Another app I wont use.
Yay.

I wonder how we will have to pay for these games...wolverine4262

400 points for the game on Xbox and PC, 240 for just Xbox, and 40 points to play once. And this is only for old arcade and Intellivision games. Insanity.

Who is this even for?

But who, in 2010, is going to pay 50 cents to play Galaga once? To play the original Pac-Man once? Those games were 25 cents in the arcades, back when their appeal wasn't mostly nostalgic and they weren't all free browser games anyway. And it's the same price to own the game once you've played 6 times. Will they give you a discount based on how many times you played it?Cherokee_Jack

Cool idea buy charging for it is dumb I can play most of those games for free on the internet.

Once again M$ copied somthing from someone.. this is like a Home ripoff

Now if it was free for gold members, I would be pleased. But the price of this will kill it before it even has the chance to take off. It reminds me of DOA4's lobby system, which was pretty fun to mess with. However, DOA4 wasn't weighed down by microtransactions.

What!? For one game!? That's a joke. They should make a "Habbo Hotel" thing using avatars. Give players their own virtual space & make it easily accessible to find certain rooms that have certain themes, such as gaming rooms etc, just like Habbo Hotel. I'll suggest this in every forum or thread about Avatar related games in the hopes a Microsoft employee may see it & thinks its a good idea. I'd pay good money for it.

I think is very much like home arcade game rooms.

Only more polished for that since it only has this purpose.

LOL.... you want a HOME with avatars then?

LOL... the once bashed by 360s users even before launch is now what they want?

LOL... even Ps3 users bashed home.. Habbo Hotel with avatar is essentially home, a free service on PSN.

You would pay GOOD money for it? LOL
