Virtua On - Xbox Live Arcade Release Date Announced

SEGA announced today that the classic arcade robot-mech simulator "Virtua On" will be arriving on Xbox Live Arcade next wednesday (April 29th) and will cost 1,200 MS.

This is the same day and same price that RARE's "Banjo Tooie" is due for release.

Unlike previous XBLA games Virtua On is getting ported from the original ARCADE Source code instead of its "Dreamcast" or "Sega Saturn" console ports - so the game will feature, much like Outrun Online Arcade did, a true arcade game.

Virtua On will feature refreshed High Definition gaming, similar transfer to what Outrun went through and it will feature a solo (arcade) mode and multiplayer (online) modes - not to mention a "spectator" mode where you will be able to watch other peoples fights online. You can see a list of achievements for the game here aswell.

The only question remains, with these BIG (for me) titles due out this wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade, which one will you be getting?

I want to get surround sound for my PlayStation 3 and I was wondering if you have any recommendations on what I should get. When I check out best buy it all "theater systems". I just want surround sound, not a new blue rye DVD etc. I am also planning on what type of HD/LCD TV, what type should I get. (I play Call of Duty 5, games like that) Website links will and store names will help. Any help?

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Yesterday I played around this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Play Ps3 tournaments for cash[/url]
They say you can play online Fight Night game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
