I'm going to need to get an arcade stick soon... I can't imagine playing these classic arcade games on a 360 controller... 
 
I wonder if Hot Catz will come out with a Intellivision gamepad, or classic Atari joystick. That would be awesome.

I'm not sure on the details but I'd buy it if it came with like 20+ games and then you have to buy extras, and then maybe they add like one free one every so often? 
 
But this is Microsoft so I'm guessing you pay for the game room, get like max 5 free games and then have to pay for the rest?

Wow.  If I was hiring marketing staff, I'd be really impressed.  That guy knows how to sell something.

why oh why did they bring back games from the atari era ? the games are not fun now. they where fun because you didn't know better . some classics are good to bring back and some are meant to stay in the past. pitfall is one of those games . i much rather have snes or nes or sega or dreamcast titels on arcade room than this crap ! batle tanks ? come on !! but i geus it comes down to money.if the can emulate dreamcast titels,why didnt they do that ?? that would have made more people exited for gameroom .

" Out of all the exclusive Xbox games Microsoft is too stuborn to port over to PC, they add a serivice where you pay to play classic games. When you consider how easy emulation is on PC it seems pointless. Gamerscore whores will buy it up. "
Only if they gamerscore is easy.  If it's ridiculously difficult to get achievenments from shitty ass old games, then no thank you.

Seeing that in action is wayyy more convincing than just reading about it.  Seeing as how I never had the chance to experience the arcade scene, this looks like a really neat way to go about it.

Game Room looks interesting, but will it have Jungler?  And what the fuck is Finalizer?

Who'da thunk they were demonstrating the most advanced torture device of the 21st Century?
