Aiming to reach families, and especially the kids, Microsoft starts selling its new Xbox 360 Arcade today.
Just in time for the holiday, Microsoft today released a new Xbox 360 console that delivers games and content to everyone in the family. The Xbox 360 Arcade console is the first Xbox 360 console to include five family-friendly games, a wireless controller, a HDMI connection and 256MB of memory for user storage.
The Xbox 360 Arcade console will include five best-selling games: "Pac-Man Championship Edition", "Uno", "Luxor 2", "Boom Boom Rocket" and "Feeding Frenzy".
The news of Xbox 360 Arcade comes as part of a broader initiative by Microsoft to bring the Xbox 360 experience to families everywhere. Microsoft also announced today that is significantly expanding its catalog of high- and standard-definition family fun content that is available on demand direct to the consumer's living room.
This includes the addition of characters such as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck from Warner Bros., which will be delivering the first ever "Looney Tunes" cartoons for download on Xbox 360, starting today. In addition, Nickelodeon is adding three new shows to its already large library of more than 300 episodes of TV shows on Xbox Live, with the inclusion of "Blue's Clues", "The Backyardigans" and "iCarly".
"SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam" and "Shrek-N-Roll" games will also be available exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade.
The Xbox 360 Arcade for families is available today, and will retail for $280.
