What is the old "Xbox Live Arcade"?

[seththefallen]

I just bought an old 12 month Kit for Xbox Live that was on clearance. The box says it includes, a 12 month subscription, a head set, PGR 2 and "Xbox Live Arcade." I didn't really use Live on the original xbox so I'm wondering what the hell it means by "Arcade." Does it come with an arcade game? I don't want to open it and not be able to return it so I can't decipher this cryptic garbage.

It is a collection of games that were on the XBox Life Arcade, you don't have to pay for each one.

It was an unsuccessful version of the XLA we know today .
The disc has Ms. Pac-Man on it for free .

Lol oh. Does it work on the 360?

Wrong
It came with Ms. Pac man for free and you had to pay for / and download every other game you wanted.

Basically a mini Xbox 360 Live arcade we have today.

No it does not work (they will be selling Ms Pacman for 360 soon)

It does include time-limited demos for each of the games available. By the end of the demo, you should know whether it's worth buying or not.
