Thread: Do you own more Off-The-Shelf Games or more Arcade Games?

Xbox Live Arcade has been quite the phenomenon. I have purchased some great games and had a blast playing them by myself and with my kids. Some view Arcade titles as geared for the "casual gamer," others view them as great gaming titles and still others simply buy them for the achievement points.

Whatever your reasoning, do you own more Xbox Live Arcade titles or more off-the-shelf titles? Cast your vote and tell us what you think about Live Arcade.

River City Ransom and Oregon Trail for the win.

I'm an Arcade game sucker. A lot of the games that come out, I end up buying.

I have about an equal amount between the two.

That's awesome. I easily have more store bought games. Not sure why since there are loads of Arcade games that are awesome - and as cheap as they are... hm. Maybe its b/c I'm a sucker for multiplayer and many of the arcade titles don't have multiplayer support? Not sure...

Yep thats they reason, Im the same, Im Coocoo for Multiplayer, Even thought I want to buy some specific Arcade games, Castlevania for 1

Store-bought games for me. I love the arcade games I have, I just am partial to shelf games.

I have 10 arcade games, and about 6 retail. But, for 5 bucks a month, I get the opportunity of my good friend lending me his games from his gameznflix 3 way plan. He plays 1, lends it, plays the next, lends sends first back. It's a good system!

I,m about equal in both departments. not got any xbox live marketplace arcade games since 3D mini golf as i,m still waiting for double dragon it was supposed to be out in march accordind to xbl arcade site.

Mostly for me it's boxed games but if they start releasing some killer titles on the Arcade or the VC i'll deffinately buy them.

Wassup, Pat!!
