In addition, Microsoft will offer RealNetworks' digital games through MSN Games and Xbox Live Arcade for XBox 360.

realnetworks has around 300 Arcade games.

arcade is definately a cool feature i'll be making use of.. if only for the pompom 360 remixes they are supposedly making.

not entirely sure i'd want any real muck on my nice shiny new console, but i will admit they have a couple of addictive games. if the console stays clean of anything else real related it's a good deal.

Funny how they just got out of that lawsuit with Real... Unless this is a result of that lawsuit or something?

ms paid the antitrust fines and put in additional money to support real games. so thats why its gonna be on 360

Does it mean you will have to pay for them on the 360? or will they be free like they should be?

I'm guessing you'll have to pay to play in some form or another.. I can see it as you can play as long as you are subscribed to a paying Xbox live service (Gold service).

I would hope that they are free. Can't you current play all of the games on realarcade.com for free or am I mistaken?

the games on ealarcade are free for 60 mins, then you have to pay (or just copy the game files to a different folder and unhide the .exe....retarded security there) and they are all mouse based games...xbox360 doesn't have a mouse.....so bad idea in every aspect.
