400MP - Geometry Wars Retro Evolved (worth it)
800MP - Wik: Fable of Souls (800MP is over priced)
800MP - Outpost Kaloki X (meh)
400MP - Bejewled 2 Deluxe (meh)
400MP - Hardwood Backgammon (meh)
800MP - Texas Hold em (was free if you really cared about it and it's over priced at 800MP)

If you consider Texas Hold em as free then it's really only worth about $35, and that's assuming you actually care about every game included here. Reguardless of the fact that they "value" this at $50 and tell you it's a bargain at $40.

Plus a 1 month subscription to XBL... if people didn't download these game then they probably CANT connect to XBL, the demo games and live subscription are worthless to people who can't connect due to lack of a broadband connection.

Also if they're going to include trial versions, why not include trial versions of EVERY SINGLE XBLA GAME... it's not like they have a lack of space on the disc... just seems pretty stupid to not include them all. Especially considering this is taylored to people who can't get online, why arbitrarily deny them access to all of the demos?

That's a good break down Twisted.

How sweet would it be if you could copy the games to your hard drive.
