From what I have heard, xboxlive marketplace will be a big part of the game. Players can buy stuff for the pinatas, and also trade with friends thru live. I think this is a deliberate effort to get a younger demographic interested in the 360, and just in time for the holiday shopping season and the PS3 launch window. And now we are hearing issues with gameplay, let alone framerates. Definately a "wait and see" with Viva Pinanta and Msoft's marketing plan.
