Street Fighter 2 has been made available today on xbox live arcade for 360. There was a version of xbox live arcade for the original xbox, but it comes on a cd which is required to access the arcade. I dont know if they still release games on that, but you wont see the same games as on the 360 version.

For info on the games available in the 360 arcade, check here: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/catalog.aspx?g=116000000&p=1&c=10&s=0&xlm=0&h=0&r=0

Over the past few weeks they have been releasing a game every wednesday on the arcade and hopefully this will be continued.

Oh, and you have to buy the arcade games too.

I only put that in there just in case he thought that all the games were free to download and play as you wish. The demos are usually short and have certain features locked..

Depends on the game, Galaga is 400 points, which is about £3.50, SFII is 800 points, so about £7, which is a billy bargain considering when the original Turbo edition came out for the SNES it went for around £60.

Bonus being SFII is now online enabled. Methinks it will be a likely purchase.

The joypads work wirelessly but if you want to hook up to your network you have to buy the xbox 360 wireless network adapter.
