The Xbox Live Arcade remake of the cult classic on-rails shooter Rez will hit "in a few weeks" and sell for 800 Microsoft Points ($10), developer Q Entertainment has confirmed.

Originally developed by now-defunct internal Sega studio United Game Artists, the update, which is being overseen by Rez creator and Q Entertainment founder Tetsuya Mizuguchi, enhances the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast original with high-resolution assets and 5.1 sound.

Though the downloadable title will not support the USB

Trance Vibrator that accompanied the PS2 release--supposedly meant to enhance the game's bass-heavy soundtrack for those unable to crank their subs--Joystiq reports that gamers will be able to utilize up to three Xbox 360 controllers to provide additional vibration feedback.

Quick question:

How do you redeem the 'free Xbox game' or whatever?

Is it possible to redeem this? Because I want Rez more than I want life.

From what I read, the Trance vibrator was significantly stronger than the standard PS2 rumble. Will the rumble in the 360 controller be sufficient for, um, providing the force feedback that may be required?

I just played this the other day on my Dreamcast. Totally awesome game. Its only like 5 levels, but the difficulty ramps up quick.
My main question is - why is this coming out for the 360 and not for the Wii? The controls are basically perfect for the Wii mote as all you do is move a large cursor around the screen to fire at objects. Its a little tedious with an analog stick, but would be awesome on the Wii. How the heck was this overlooked?
