nice one will have to get this after crimbo like skint at the mo :(

[IDarK VorteXX]

I liked quake 3 on the computer might have to get a demo of this

[VeNGeD]

I've been playing Quake Live for a few weeks now, can't wait for this to come out on XBLA.

[Teh BeZ]

Awesome! I take it there's no word on the achievements or the price of this?

Achievements are already up on the site :) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/quake-arena-arcade/achievements/

Not seen a price yet I would say 800 and I hope that is the case but I could see it coming out at 1200.

Thank you! Can't believe I missed that :P

[dirge]

YES! Cannot wait!

[[Waggly Bean]]

I was just about to come and post this. Guess I'm late to the party.

Didn't realise the achievements were already up.

I would be willing to bet money that it will be 1200MSP not 800MSP. A big title name like this, with 360-exclusive maps? That will sell at any price? Definitely 1200MSP... ;)

[master_shake_350]

YEAH! Day one for me, can't wait! Got some points just for this!

[Daiphyer.]

Oh God hell yea! Just in time with the finals over!

[dirge]

Is it wednesday yet?

Oh god these next few days are going to drag by!

Still no word on pricing? I have 1540 on account ready and waiting for this!

[Seconds21ive]

I see Quake Arena being 1200 points

[GamesB2]

I was fairly certain it was priced at 800 msp... Don't remember where I read it though.

EDIT: Acey Bongos just tweeted the price... 1200 msp.

[Gun-Nut]

Acey Bongos just tweeted the price... 1200 msp.

Damn not sure I will pick this up right away since was planning on getting all of the “Games for the Holidays” games with the points I have left :( Might have to add some more!

[[Waggly Bean]]

EDIT: Acey Bongos just tweeted the price... 1200 msp.

As I (and most people) guessed. Pretty lame!

Doubt I'll be buying straight away then. :)

[dirge]

1200 ms points is a bargain for this and all the content!

[master_shake_350]

Oh God hell yea! Just in time with the finals over!

Yallah we play when you get it!

[chucky3ds]

Love the Quake games. this is no exception!

[master_shake_350]

Price is 1200 dudez

[T0b3]

I don't care about the price.
Seriously, this is a SO long awaited classic to me.
Just like DOOM 1+2 and Wolf3D - this is an instant buy.

[chucky3ds]

I am now just waiting for it to pop up on Games Marketplace! The wait... kinda killing me!

[Tw1n Gats]

Can you keep us updated Chucky, Im stuck at work until 6 am (US EST Timezone) and won't be home until about 7 am but bought some points on my way in so I can play it as soon as I get home, someone let us know when it pops up on the market! Cant wait for some Quake in HD!!!

I'll do my best. Basically just gonna sit here and "refresh" the Xbox every 10-20 mins hoping it will pop up!

Yep...that's how much I wanna play this!

[Tw1n Gats]

me too! Im stuck at work but it's not so bad because I dont think they refresh the Arcade until later in the morning to be honest, I think it's based on PST, so midnight PST I believe, could be wrong... lookin forward to hearing someone say it popped up before I head home from work so I can play as soon as I kick back and relax! Suped right now!

[MaynardCB]

Yeah, December 15th is here!!!

[Tw1n Gats]

15 minutes until December 15, 2010 in Microsofts Timezone (PST), so well see! Fingers crossed.

[floridafan765]

I remember watching my uncle play this game a few years ago on the computer and it looked awesome. I'm thrilled to see this come out on XBLA, and this is most definitely a day one purchase for me..well a day one purchase on Dec. 25 when i get a new Xbox (that better not freakin break EVER!)

And this is waaaaaay off subject, but does anyone know how to transfer memory from one hard drive to another? since ill have to convert my memory from the old hard drive to the new 250 GIG. i heard microsoft can send you like a one time memory transfer cord..is what im hearing true? any information would be awesome

Yes, but your better off buying it from GameStop for $19.99 and avoid Microsofts shipping fees. Its pretty straight forward.

Easily transfer all your data from the original Xbox 360 hard drive to the next. Compatible with Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 S* consoles, the Hard Drive Transfer Cable allows you to keep your saved data and game on.

Designed to transfer data from Xbox 360 hard drives to other Xbox 360 hard drives and/or Xbox 360 S hard drives.

Usable multiple times.

Could be wrong. I've just heard this alot.

But I've heard that Xbox Live updates about 2am in the morning in America. Unfortunately I'm not sure of the time zone.

Ain't giving up until I see it up!

[Tw1n Gats]

Still havent seen it pop up on Xbox.com yet, waiting... waiting...

[chucky3ds]

yep. Still waiting! Come on...

[T0b3]

*sigh*
They just keep letting us wait.
Xbox is turned on with a secondary profile (Quake won't be released in Germany) AND the marketplace on xbox.com is opened..

The wait killing you as well?

[T0b3]

The wait killing you as well?

Definitely. I'm looking forward to this for at least 2 years now, so you can imagine HOW excited I am.

[chucky3ds]

Definitely. I'm looking forward to this for at least 2 years now, so you can imagine HOW excited I am.

Haha. I'm guessing... VERY!

[T0b3]

Haha. I'm guessing... VERY!

Yeah, but it's not that bad, actually; since it was the same with DOOM II and Wolf3D. ; D

[chucky3ds]

Embarassingly, I have yet to play Wolfenstein 3D or Doom II. :(

[T0b3]

Embarassingly, I have yet to play Wolfenstein 3D or Doom II. :(

You should be ashamed for yourself! Not.
I remember when DOOM II appeared on the marketplace and I didn't stop playing until I've reached 200/200. Damn, that's been a blast! And I've been very hungry afterwards. ;)

I'm guessing that's the better of the two (Doom II and Wolfenstein 3D)?

[T0b3]

I'm guessing that's the better of the two (Doom II and Wolfenstein 3D)?

Phew, can't tell, really.

I love both games. Surely, Wolf is the ultimate classic but DOOM II has more content, obviously.

You should definitely get both. :P

Downloading as we speak!

[Tw1n Gats]

Picking up a fat sack of grass on my way home, leaving work now and will be fragging it up with you guys in just under an hour! Send me a Friends Request and we can all get our game on over the course of the day homies! See you on Quake! P.S. How is the HD upgrade?

[chucky3ds]

The game is pretty fun, yet hectic. Surprisingly, there's already quite a few people online. The HD upgrade is good also, but I'd say the graphics kind of on par with CellFactor: PW... if you've ever played that, that is.
