So, thanks to Microsoft’s ridiculous pricing polices, XBLA is dead to most of us old-time supporters of the service but that hasn’t stopped Microsoft from hyping up their new ‘Days of Arcade’ release schedule.

They did something similar last year with the ‘Summer of Arcade’ but that was mostly horseshit with a lovely bit of Braid thrown in.  These days everything is fucked on XBLA though.  1600M$P for Watchmen?  An episode of Watchmen in fact.  Spit on my balls, Microsoft.

Anyway, it kicks of on March 18th with Hasbro Family Games which appears to be an overall game engine that then allows you to play Hasbro board games on it.  Of course, these board games are set to cost 800M$P each and that includes Connect 4.

It’s followed by Outrun Online Arcade (win!), Lode Runner (better be 400M$P but won’t be), Capcom’s Flock (interesting until you recall Capcom’s last few efforts on XBLA), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix (expect to pay through the fucking nose) and Uno Rush (Uno Gash).

And in FAILY NEWS, Microsoft have announced a temporary price cut for a year’s Xbox Live subs.  They’ll cost £34.99.  I paid less than thirty for thirteen months but anyway…

Seriously, has anyone been stupid enough to pay full price for Live in the last two years?  Really?  REALLY?
