Wing Commander CIC
So we all know now that Arena has been confirmed as an Xbox Live Arcade game for the Xbox 360, but do you guys really want to spend $400 just for an arcade game? (well, actually, yes, because it's been a decade, but still...)
There's one thing people seem to be forgetting. Microsoft announced at CES this year that they would actually let people play Arcade titles on another platform: Vista. They showed off GeoWars and UNO when I was there, both ran just fine on Vista. So my bet is that if you don't want to get a 360, or don't have the money, an upgrade to Vista will do the same for you, with what some might think of as better controls.
Just chiming in my 2 cents here, I know I haven't swung by very often lately, but I thought of this, didn't see it mentioned anywhere else, and thought you guys might want to know.
