The Halo 3 beta will probably show up next week since it was released late in this reporting period.

Just to understand this: Last week the Top Arcade Title was Double Dragon, and the top Arcade Title in the "normal" 360 list was Catan (on #7).

This week we have Double Dragon on #1 Arcade again, and on #7 of the "normal" list, without any sight of (the much, much better imo) Catan.

Any specific reason for that inconsistence? Am I missing something?

GhettoLevis:

The Arcade list is based on purchases & the top Live Games list is based on number of people playing.

Mcmax3000, you make a good point. I never thought of that.

Maybe Major Nelson will make that note in the future.

Crackdown will be in the top 3 because you have to start it to play the Halo 3 beta. Most people are playing it that way and it will get a lot of unique users in the week.

Sorry Treythalomew as I don't have Crackdown, but I thought that you'd use it do download Halo 3 Beta and then just run it from your Hard Drive? Or am I wrong?

Crackdown will be on top because most people in H3 beta will be accessing it through Crackdown. You cannot download it from Crackdown and access it from the dashboard afterwards.

So, why is Aegis Wing not on there?  Is it because the game is free?  If that's the case, why has Hexic been up there?

I am very curious where the Halo 3 Beta will show up. It's so awesome! It's the only thing I play at the moment... If they put the Halo 3 Beta on sale on the marketplace I'll buy it, seriously! I won't go back to Halo 2 after the beta, I'm spoiled... Even if they release the game with the multiplayer in the current state I'll buy it. Wow. The joy I felt while playing Halo CE is completely back!

I'm scared of the day when the beta will go offline...

Seriously, can't the beta be sold on the marketplace in it's current state just to pass the time until Halo 3 arrives? I like it as is. The graphics are awesome. Everything runs smooth and there is no screen tearing!!!

It plays really awesome as is. The only little things to change I care for right now is a user interface tweak so that the light blue text indicating that you've killed someone is better to read on white (it's hard to read when playing the map Snow Blind) and a setting for the host when arranging games (and the possibility to arrange games of course) to have voicechat-without-having-to-press-a-button when casual gaming with friends!
