This game was MADE for XBLA. Soldat is a 2d sidescrolling multiplayer shooter with over-the-top physics. How does this not spell a perfect idea for XBLA?

I haven't tried this yet, Hopefully I'll give it a go tomorrow, but does it have on offline component?

The reason I ask is that looking through the boards there was some talk of them opening the source, while the multiplayer portion couldn't be ported, the offline stuff (if there is any) could be ported to XNA.

i don't recall if there was a single player. if there was I never tried it. they need to get some network libraries for the 360's xna pronto or fix whatever is hindering that release (lawyers?).

I asked the XNA guy at the X06 event I went to the same question and the answer he gave that it all came down to security of the system, and of live itself. I'd imagine if they could come up with a secure model, we'll see it.

He also mentioned to remember that this is just the first version of the product.

Yeah I could see that, but I wonder how much more of an issue that is than say being able to put homebrew games on your system which could possibly (although unlikely) be malicious?
