   > I was at an EB earlier this week, and I saw the Arcade/PGR2 combo for

   Yeah, they're pretty much idiots. Here's the list of games on it:   
      
   Alien Sky   
   Astro Pop   
   Atomaders   
   Bankshot Billards   
   Bejeweled   
   BookWorms Deluxe   
   Dino & Aliens   
   Feeding Frenzy   
   Fuzzee Fever   
   Gauntlet   
   Guardian   
   Hamster Ball   
   Hardwood Solitare   
   Joust   
   Marble Blast   
   Mutant Storm   
   Namco Vintage (4 games in one download)   
   Orbz   
   Pipeline   
   Ricochet Lost Worlds   
   Robotron 2084   
   Dangerous Mines   
   Smash TV   
   Super Collapse 2   
   Think Tanks   
   Zuma Deluxe   
      
   Now, if you get one of the discs that MS originally offered on the   
   Xbox.com site, you get MS.Pac-Man as well, and it's already unlocked. I   
   can't remember if it's online playable or not, but I think it is.   
   Getting the MS-direct version of the disc is the only way to get Ms.   
   Pac-Man.   
      
   What really kills it is the pricing though...it's fucking insane. Most   
   games are $10 or more, with some hitting $15. The only affordable games   
   are the Midway or Namco games, which are $4.99 a piece. Even then, the   
   only reason they are worth it is because they are now online playable.   
      
   Another thing that kind of sucks about it is that you have to download   
   virtually all of the titles in order to even play the damn demo. It's   
   fucking ridiculous, why aren't they all on the disc? Some of them are on   
   the disc...why aren't the others? Doesn't make a lot of sense, and if   
   you have a slow connection it can take forever to get all the demos.   
      
   Finally, there's one more issue: If your Xbox dies, or you accidentally   
   delete the game, that's it, you have to re-purchase it. My Xbox's HD   
   died about a month back so I lost Smash TV. Pissed me off...especially   
   when you consider that MS allows 360 users to re-download purchased   
   content at no extra cost...
