Good to see th classics free. So you can pay for them on Live or play them in a arcade machine for free ( I suppose) in Home. Lets hope this isn't just for Japan.

 not sure if i would want to play pac-man on the PS3. Purely for economical reasons, the ps3 is expensive to run, if i wanna play pac-man il find an emulator online somewhere.

Still i guess it will float some peoples boats.

sounds awesome, specially the free part.  Those are old games that most of us wouldn't pay to play but that are a great addition to a free-service.  Now I have something to go into home for :)
