In January at the Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas, Microsoft showed the debut of retro showcase "Game Room".

Game Room is a virtual arcade which can be downloaded via XBL to your console for free, and be decorated in which way you please. You are than able to purchase classic arcade games from industry legends like Atari to stock your game room up. Your avater is than able to play them, and challenge your XBL friends to a game for bragging rights on top of each leaderboard.

This service is set to launch in spring this year and will be released with 30 games inclucding games such as pitfall, Yar's, Tempest, Asteroids and Lunar Lander. Microsoft hope to add five to seven titles per week to download. Each game is set to cost between 240MP - 400MP, or 40MP for a single game.

Fellas,

"Each game is set to cost between 240MP - 400MP, -->OR<-- 40MP for a single game."

Meaning, 240-400MP = infinite plays while 40MP = a single play which is still ridiculous because if you like the games enough to fork out anything for them you'll pay the extra

THIS SHOULD BE FREE. It's a joke you got to pay for these crappie games. I hope no one buys them. But I know there will be some stupid people out there.

Ahhh yes, thanks for pointing out what we already realised. The ps3 dude was actually right on the mark, but Milky misunderstood.

Merchandise - Stuff for consumers you can actually purchase this time!

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
