A new survey being seing out by Microsoft has hinted at the possibility of a virtual arcade for Avatars to hit Xbox 360 in the future.

The survey asks, “Which of the following names would most compel you to purchase the product?” Then they give the following names to chose from such as “Game Room,” “RetroCade,” “Tower of ROM,” and “Classics LIVE.”

Obviously, this wouldn’t be free.

We’ll keep you updated on whatever comes of this. Would you want to be able to play arcade games with your virtual avatar piloting the machine?

    The sad thing is that this is basically nothing more than Home and since MS is already doing better with the avatars they’ll probably do better if they decide to create a Home-like experience. It’ll probably be easier to navigate, will most likely be integrated into the NXE and shouldn’t be processor intensive since the graphics for both the environments and the avatars aren’t made of a few million polygons.

    I want a 360 but I still hate MS for not putting wifi in the box.

      You’ll get over it. =P

      I use wired on both my PS3 and 360 connections anyway. Figured it’s fastest and my router’s right next to them so why not?
