Yeah, looking forward to it and a few other games very soon. Right now, I pretty much use my 360 for live arcade. I own kameo and rent a game here and there, but nothing has really knocked my socks off yet. Though I don't have a lot of time to give to games anymore, so games like GRAW and Oblivion I just can't give the attention too that they probably deserve :).

Thats good info... Guess I will start working on the controller layout next. It does confirm the fact that I will be getting an Xbox 360 around holiday season. Looking at the games that are available for xbox live arcade, I am thinking a controller with eight ways on the left and right, buttons in the middle and a dedicated 4 way in the middle top should about cover it. Thanks for the great news guys.

I will say this, I played some pacman with the 8-way and it works really well. I don't know if they altered the game a bit to work better with modern controls. Just something to check out before you go wasting the space on a 4way if you don't need too.

Look at the Combat Minions (tm) for an example of dual-joysticks. I don't think any pics are up yet, but the button layout stuff is there.

kinda hard to picture without the pictures :-) Seriously, Your Robotron layout, with 6 Street Fighter buttons between the sticks and a 3rd button below the player 2 button would be about right I would say. With the Xbox 360 cartridge (which I am pretty sure should plug right into a pc with windows xp) should come in under $300 delivered wouldnt you agree.
