No one knows what their process is, be thankful that content will now roll out on a regular basis for at least a month. I'm definitely down for some Frogger and Galaga, good times coming.

Lordy Lordy! Finally!

THere goes all the MS Points I just purchased. Faaaaaaaantastic. Never had the joy of playing Frogger as a youngin but thanks to Seinfeld the pleasure will be all mine.

Als, can not wait to get my ass handed to me in some Street Fighter.

Don't expect anything other than the 5 mentioned titles for the next month. Possibly near the end of summer, but some say this event is just the beginning.

It's definitely a good start.

I just downloaded the trial... and it's in a tiny screen in the middle... that totally sucks :( maybe if I had a 42+ inch tv it wouldn't be so bad.
