Looks pretty good, but this is the kind of game I like playing on PC.

Accomplishing the "first comment" quest is akin to missing the bus by 5 seconds.

No mods. No deal. 
I enjoy my Steam version.

Whenever Steam has a sale it's always $5, while I'm guessing this will be 10$+ on XBLA :P.

Oh, you know, those stupid developer jerks, trying to make their game available to a wider audience and bring more joy to the world. Blasphemy, I say!

@beard_of_zeus: I understand your sarcastic comment, but is there no wider audience than the group of people that own personal computers? With Torchlight's included "netbook mode," there really is no reason a standard laptop couldn't run the game. 
 
But hey, good try.

Great game, glad to see them expanding to additional platforms. Would love to see Torchlight 2 hit PSN with Steam support.

I never use mods, so I have absolutely no problem with playing this on a console. I own the PC version and this type of game is probably more ideal on a computer, but console gaming is much more convenient for me, so I'll be keeping an eye on this. Good for them, expanding the game's reach.

Well, it doesn't run on MY laptop, but maybe I'm a crazy outlier. Personally, I'm excited to be able to finally play it.

I played Diablo 1 on the PS1, not too excited about this. HOWEVER, awesome game on PC so the more people this reaches the better.

Though i personally believe a top-down dungeon crawler should always be on the PC, consoles are good exposure, and exposure is never bad.

I played the demo on Steam, and this looks just fine on XBLA, but I already played and enjoyed Deathspank for $15 and Epic Dungeon for $1 on my 360, and I get the same vibe from this, albeit more polished.

I gotta say Torchlight is such a perfect name for an rpg. If this has same-screen coop then I will definitely buy Torchlight again, otherwise I will just be happy knowing that it is available for more people to enjoy :D

WOOT !!!!!! 
Great news at last. 
I can not wait for this. 
I love it on pc. 
 It made me download and use STEAM, a service , that upto that  point I hated and refused  to use.

Now it will be with GAMESCORE and ACHIEVEMENTS ( that matter). 
Pure AWESOME  !!!!!!

@PKHilson:
I  imagine that it is as it is so easy and cheap to port from PC to 360. 
Also things tend to sell better on 360 then PS3, so I am guessing that if it sells well enough on 360, this will fund your PS3 version.  
If it came to PS3 first and did not sell, then it would ruin everones' fun. 
Also do not complain , if you are a PS3 only owner, you got the exclusive next gen version of SAM AND MAX season 3 ( DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND). and look at the version of MASS EFFECT 2 you are got compared to the 360 owners.   ;-P

This... Deathspank really isn't on the same level as Torchlight.

Tech has also come along way since then, to people saying "some things are just better on a keyboard".
 
With that mentality no FPS, RTS, RPG or MMO should ever come to console, oh DCU is great, FPS have proven to be excellent on consoles as have RPGs and even some RTS games, clearly some people prefer keyboard/mouse and in some cases you get more accuracy with it and its a smoother experience but it doesn't change the fact that this can work on a console, hell 10 years ago people said FPS on consoles were a joke now look how many people praise console shooters.

I have this game for PC, but I might purchase it again for Xbox. 
 
Many years back Diablo was also released on the PSX and it was a BLAST to play it co-op right next to each other in front of the tube :D Not as fun playing on battle.net IMO back then that is.

I completely buy into the high praise Torchlight gets and I absolutely might end up getting it, but the "button-pressing loot-fest" style game that it, along with Deathspank and Epic Dungeon, is just leaves me questioning whether I want to shell out $15 for more.

So tempted to buy this. My Steam version is still installed but I just keep forgetting about it.
 
And just for the record, for those wondering the only people here who are complaining are the PC Kidz. Torchlight is a fantastic game, more people should be able to play it.

Why are people even complaining at all?  More people playing torchlight is a good thing.  Seriously, what's bad about this?  That you might not like the controls?  Then play the PC version and let the people who don't mind play the XBLA version!   PC Torchlight owns, XBLA Torchlight is gonna own.

There are millions of Xbox 360 in the market  owned by millions of people that do not like playing on PC and preffer  a controller. Why would a developer not try to cater to that market? PC is always my first option but I know that is not true for everyone.
