xblaA little over a week ago we mentioned that Xbox Live Arcade titles were possibly going to be getting a retail package and it looks as though it is coming out before the end of the year as Gamespot has posted some information along with the cover art for the upcoming compilation disc of sorts.

A tagline proclaims that the package "includes the hit game Geometry Wars and a one-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold." A number of screenshots on the cover indicate that the compilation also includes Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, Wik: Fable of Souls, Hardwood Backgammon, Outpost Kaloki X, and the as-yet unreleased Texas Hold 'Em Poker.

This is great news for people who have a 360 and either don't have the option to connect to Xbox Live or just like having a actual copy of the game that they are playing. Gamespot also notes that the list of games could always change as the cover art isn't the final version. When more news becomes available we'll be sure to keep you informed.

Is it just me or does it not make sence that they are including 1 month of Xbox Live! gold.....



Isn't the whole selling point of this game aimed at people who have no internet connection? who can't EASILY access these games online on the Xbox Live Arcade?



If they have an internet connection and enough money to buy this game then why not just spend the money on a subscirption to Live! and be able to play all of the games on this game DVD?



I don't get it?

» i wish they did this for a few more things

the only thing i have bought with the xbox live market place is the PG3 cars. The thing is that nothing in there has refunds or anything. Let's say your harddrive malfunctions, and you had something expensive like the chapter 2 download for GRAW which is 1200 MS...see why I mean? it has no refunds so if your harddrive malfunctions, you lost it unless you're willing to pay another 1200 ms for it...
