SWOS is looking good for a release this week. It's available for download on PartnerNet which is a good sign of an imminent release. Guess we'll find out later today when the releases are officially announced!

If I want to download some games from Xbox Live, do I need to first buy that monthly subscription? I mean, I'm not interested in playing multiplayer or having a penis measuring contest (who has the most gamerpoints).
I just want to download the odd game.

don't think you need to be a gold member to download arcade games but then again I have always been a gold member

on a side note why do they keep delaying it those cnuts

Balls to that, guess it will have to wait until the new year for me. Too busy eating, drinking and travelling to play any games over xmas. Stupid time to release it

Looks like we are getting asteroids and asteroids deluxe. Should be excellent. I was surprised at how brilliant Pac-Man CE was so hopefully this update will be as good.
