Not because I'll buy them (I don't have a 360) but to see the price difference between the Virtual Console and XBOX Live Arcade. Now we'll see how much Nintendo is pocketing out of this hehe :P BTW: This is Part 01 of my Wii Menu for PC, look for th 6 other parts on Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=_cHgXEuRdcE&mode=related&search= I can’t wait for the Genesis games to hit XBOX Live.

Considering their track record of announcing games through listing a rating for it on their website, this is more than likely true. They have really become a great source for unveiling games heading to the US before the official confirmation from publishers. That reason alone is why I've held off from downloading SOR 2 on the VC, not only should a potential XBLA port of Streets of Rage 2 contain online co-op, but adding achievements to the mix is enough for Microsoft to get my money. I'm really hoping these future Xbox Live Arcade titles of Sega's classics sell well, so we can hopefully see a onslaught of their actual arcade titles popping up on XBLA as frequently as they readily prepare Genesis games on the Virtual Console.
