Microsoft Delays Game Room Release "Until Further Notice"

This thing was ill conceived. This "delay" is damage control. They are trying to figure out what went wrong. Its simple really, old games like these should be free, the "GameRoom" itself, the concept is sound enough however. It's the beginning of Micro$oft's answer to PSN's HOME. Given enough time and resources it can bloom into something, or someplace for your Avatar's to dwell and call a home, instead of just standing around doing nothing on your dashboard.
But be serious, some of these so-called games don't even register as games any longer by any stretch of the imagination. So they should be free, to all Xbox users. Charge for the prime stuff, Mr. Do, Q-Bert, Space Harrier.
Maybe give you an opportunity to import what ever you have already bought into the GM, this idea needs a LOT of work. So before they fall on their faces they pulled the plug (temporarily) to re-think this garbage.

Free pc emulators anyone, rofl. You would have to pay me to play old bullshit games like these in the first place.

I'm going to be surprised if this thing doesn't fail.

They ought to let Nolan Bushnell have a crack at how to improve it.

Game Room is a great concept, but MS needs to create a set release schedule. I'd also like to see some 90s-era games released.

I really don't like anything about the Game Room, there prices are way to high, the rewind button really ruins the challenge in all of these games and it just seems like a easy way to cash in on gamers that don't know better.

I have to say I wasn't too impressed with the Game Room. It's just another way Microsoft is trying to make money. I mean some of the games are fun, but I see no reason to use a virtual acrcade to play them. Also the rewind feature takes the challenge and fun away.

Still can't believe they try to charge 50 cents for games that were only 25 cents to play decades ago.
