Firstly, I love the arcade. Most of the MS points packs I have bought have been so that i could get a game.
I just wanted to know what games/how many points people have spent on the arcade? Y'know, are people just playing the demos or are they buying them?
I'll start, I have:
Marble Blast Ultra
Worms
Castlevania: SOTN
UNO
Texas Hold 'Em
Cloning Clyde
TMNT
Assault Heroes
DOOM
Heavy Weapon
Small Arms
Smash TV
Street Fighter II

I mean, if there are a lot of people out there like me, MS must be making a killing from the marketplace.

Ok, so it's 12:15am here... what time would I be looking at if I am hoping to hear this?

[QUOTE="Seemore10"]Anyone know? I hope they add 3+ people in private chat.SolidKeevo

That would be awesome. I've been wanting that within the first week I had my 360.

I don't think they can put that in. As cool as it would be it might kinda crap in games like Halo 3 if it has proximity voice ( a whole team could be in chat and you'd not hear them).

I'm hoping they add in something no one was expecting. Something really cool. Maybe.

Here are some options: 1) Move to the US 2) Don't blame Xbox Live 3) Try a different game 4) Do something else in your lifeFranchise2k6

Great options...

I have a 10mb connection, live in the UK and used to know that problem far too well. It has a huge effect on playing a game. So much so that I upgraded my connection from 1mb to 10... now I host most games. People who I play with from here always sit with full green ping whereas people from America have 2 yellow (well, truth be told, most sit with green but I am guessing anyone with less than 2mb has problems.)

I wouldn't call it a problem with XBox Live that people lag, more with IP and internet speed, I do however wish it had localised matchmaking. It would solve most problems.
PS... I actually think they may have started prioritising gamers in the same country... I have been finding more people in the UK recently... might just be a concidence.

Ooo, I forgot about Lost Oddessy, that game looks kick@ss!

Surprised no one mentioned Crackdown... it's definitely fun for a few weeks.
Not sure it counts but have you tried much on the Arcade? At the min I am completely addicted to WORMS.
