Advantages: Probably very cheap now

Disadvantages: Strange selection of games

Just a quick one, this disc has caused me big problems in the past. I went through two of these and took them both back to Gamestation, after a bit of internet research there appears to be a bit of a problem with this and the New XBOX Experience. (NXE) I just couldn't get this to work, now, if you're connected to XBOX Live the NXE is a mandatory download so this could be a problem for you too.

In terms of what's included on the disc the game list isn't great considering the gems on Microsoft's Arcade some of the choices seem odd in spite of the presence of the excellent Geometry Wars.

The idea itself is very good and it's a shame that Microsoft haven't adopted the idea and made more Arcade compilations, maybe they could have fighting and puzzle and shooter ones. I guess it wouldn't make as good business sense though as Microsoft would lose control over pricing.

Summary: Just download the good games on the disc.
