Xbox 360 - now a "must buy"

Oh, crap.
Until now, I only had interest in the XBox360 as competition for my next game console, the PS3. But today I read about some of the games they'll be offering (free!) as part of XBox Live - the online component of the XBox360. Two of my all-time favorite arcade games: Gauntlet (OK, everybody loved Gauntlet) and, get this, SmashTV.
I can't tell you how much I loved SmashTV growing up (back when there were still such things as video arcades). I pumped so many quarters into that damn game. Just too cool. I think it was the first time I saw animated blood, too. And the control was awesome (and at the time, I thought, revolutionary) - one joystick to move your dude around, and one joystick to point your gun. Too cool.

Done deal. My brother and I used to play tons and tons of Gauntlet growing up. Maybe when I get that sweet job in Steamboat we can afford it...
