If when someone put "quarters" into a your cab you got some sort of virtual kickback so you could buy more cabs that would more interesting. Allowing you to set the price and let anyone on your friends list play free. Ok maybe I am thinking too deep into this.

That or if they simply released Warlords.

Here's a decent vid from Kotaku. Sound is a bit low, so turn it up. It actually does look decent. Looks like they stuck a good balance between atmosphere and UI. There's a "room" but you don't move around like in Home. There's no waiting virtual lines to play a game. Check out the Pitfall unit!

This is pretty cool. I'll probably take advantage of a few of the games, even though I already have a MAME'd original Xbox.

Well, it's out now. Anybody played with it yet? I had a blast on it earlier but the interface is really confusing.

Still it's an easy 10 gamerscore for free...

This looks awesome.

DLing this now. Looks like you do get some free games to start you off.

It has potential. Buying a game for only xbox live use is only 3 bucks so it's not too bad.
I just need more xbox live friends that are into older games.
If anyone wants to add me GT: DaGamingMonkey
Come visit my arcade... my whole 1 game Asteroids Deluxe

That is the game I bought too.

I have to say the rewind feature is cheap and stupid.

yea tried it once to see what it was about, just pointless to play with it.
I play ranked so I can get the high scores up.
Asteroids is not as easy on a controller as the actual cabinet.
They also need to make any interaction with friend scores, arcades etc more user friendly
