X10: Day-one Game Room purchases come with exclusive item photo

Microsoft's old-school gaming hub Game Room is coming to Xbox 360 this March, and it's already been confirmed to launch with 30 titles.

But starting in April, expect somewhere between five and seven games a week to be added for download. Like Xbox LIVE Arcade game's Wednesday releases, expect a similar weekly schedule for Game Room. While Microsoft hasn't nailed it down, it's eying a Thursday release for Game Room titles, so plan accordingly.

There's also going to be an incentive to pick up games the day they release -- a special item that will stay with you in your personal game room. At X10 today, Game Room senior producer Fred Norton showed off one example, a helicopter that flew around the player's Avatar. Norton says that these day-one exclusive items will be different for every game, and in some way tie into the games iconography.

That dude on the left looks like Jim Sterling, minus the monocle.

As long as we're not charged extra for it, I suppose.

I just want to know if some more impressive arcade titles will be available, like X-Men: The Arcade Game. I'm not to interested in re-buying the same stuff that's been available in every classic games compilation ever released.

Why play Mass Effect 2 or any other modern AAA titles, when you could be spending your time playing old classics such as Frogger!!!! Pacman!!!!!! or even Mrs Pacman!!!

Sigh......

The games are still slated to be 240 each, right? If so, I can totally see a little tchotchke being a nice motivator for me to buy the game now instead of next week or whenever. I just hope there's enough variety in the games Microsoft's going to put up to make the Game Room a worthwhile experience instead of just a dumping ground for crap they otherwise couldn't sell.
