Sonic and Golden Axe speed to Xbox Live Arcade

This week's Xbox Live Arcade titles are Golden Axe and, finally, Sonic the Hedgehog. Both cost a mere 400 Microsoft Points, with Golden Axe allowing for co-operative play on Live and locally. The Achievements for both titles were made available yesterday, and led us to believe that at the very least, GA was coming today. Fortunately, we were only half right, as Sonic finally made its debut under the Sega Vintage Collection line of titles. With any luck, we'll see Ecco and Sonic 2 follow suit.

Fastest 200 gamerpoints I'll ever get! Sonic the Hedgehog was the first console game I ever played, and I know it inside-out.
By the way, any news/link to the new Halo 3 campaign trailer?

Yeah, I'm not sure whether to get it or not, cos I can just play it on my GP2X with a genesis emulator... but... I want it!

People who are wasting 5 bucks on sonic:
You do know that you can pick up a copy of Sonic Mega Collection for the Xbox that has all the sonic games for 12 bucks?

Sonic! It's looks very nice with the smoothing on. One of the best games ever.

@6;
I have the Sonic Mega Collection, and there are some issues with sound glitches and slowdown, when run on the BC of the 360. Other than that, yeah, it's worth every penny.

"Sega Vintage Collection" implies to me that there will be more. I hope they release Mean Bean Machine (anyone with the Sonic Mega Collection will know what I'm talking about). That game is addictive!

I saw Golden Axe on XBLM for download early this morning...it wouldn't download though kept failing halfway through. But I just checked and it's definitely not there anymore...maybe it'll be resurrected later.
