Ok Runic I am ready for yas! Went out and found me a Xbox 360 console 60gig HD for just $120.00 just so I can get down and nasty with the console version. Bring it on!

There is nothing there that says Torchlight is out next month. If anything it will be out March (as previously stated somewhere). The House Party starts February 16th with five games being released over five weeks. Torchlight is not the first game to be released, Hard Corps is (clearly stated in the source material provided). My money is on the games being released in the order they are listed in that fact sheet, meaning mid-late March release.

As for the goodies thing I hae no idea how that will work. Sounds interesting though. My guess is a kind of invite system. Invite a friend to buy the game and they get a freebie for buying from your invite (it does specify first time) or maybe something similar.

Well going by the list it would appear March 2nd would be Torchlight's release but I don't feel like it be the last I feel like Microsoft will save there Full House Poker for that.

The house party event starts feb 16th, noone knows which week Torchlight will be available. Well,atleast it hasn't been announced publicly which weekend it will be during the event.

I think even Runic won't know until like a week before release, and that is only so they can get reviewers to try it out.

I've been poking around, any word on cost?

I've seen places like IGN and others list it at 1200 MS points(15 dollars).

They did say 15, but it was dumped back into the rumor mill after I think Microsoft said it was still unconfirmed.

It would be nice to get the game at a cheaper price, but most new arcade games come out at the price. Unless they change to price to 50 dollars, I'll be getting it regardless

Torchlight will be released on XBLA March 9th 2011 and will cost 1200 Microsoft points.
