There's been a few rumblings, expecially on Joystiq and Engadget, that Marathon is going to be available on XBox Live Arcade. I know its a Mac game and that the mac base didn't like Bungie going to MS, but I think that Marathon on Xbox live would be cool. It is a kind of prequel to the Halo games, whether Bungie say so or not, there are references to Marathon in the Halo games, so it would fit in with the Halo 3 hype.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

That would be pretty awesome. Nothing compares to the original Marathon games! What do games for XBox Live Arcade cost?

"he's shooting at us!" "Let's get himm!!!!!!"

That said, I will never own an Xbox because I hate MS that much for stealing Bungie away from us. I have my principles, and MS will never get a penny from me my entire life, if I can help it.

IIUC, if Aleph One was rewritten or modified to use C# to be compatible with XNA, it would be possible for the game to appear on XBL for free whenever MS gets that deal going.
To be determined later.
