Well now that E3 is done and people are more likely to have loose lips, we're starting Rumor Roundup again, with two more rumor's this week (well three if you include the FF one). Anyways, here goes...

Microsoft will be releasing a compilation of XBLA games for offline users

Rumor: When this page was seen proclaiming the upcoming "Arcade Unplugged" the rumor started that with a name like that it couldn't be anything but a XBLA compilation disk.

Our Take: When you start to think that 57% of Xbox owners are on live you start to think that there are 43% who cannot enjoy the phenomenon that is Geometry Wars (or any other XBLA title for that matter). With that in mind, you know it's just a matter of time before MS releases something. Now the question is, will it be called Arcade Unplugged, and will it come out on Oct. 2nd? I guess only time will tell.

The Xbox Camera will be $40 and come with an XBLA game

Rumor: Joystiq speculated with this post that, along with a bunch of other prices:

Xbox Live Vision Camera (with headset, one month of Live Gold, and one arcade -- presumably Xbox Live Arcade -- game): $40

Our Take: this seems to make sense, and MS has had a history of bundling xbla games with certain products (Bankshot anyone?). As for what game will be bundled, if I had to guess, I'd say there's a good chance that Freeverse's Totemball would make the most sense as it will be the first game to use any sort of gesture software.

That’s it for this week, and if you hear of any juicy XBLA rumors be sure to send them to rumors@xblarcade.com
