So they intend on culling the herd. I agree with that. The list is getting long enough now that it's easy to miss out on gems for all the trash.
That said, they shouldn't necessarily cut them off the grid completely. There's still money to be made off of those games for practically no investment from MS (relative to store shelf space and those costs, server space might as well be an infinite free resource, and it's only server space until it's actually downloaded). Further, this can punish people for liking unpopular games, and developers for making games for a small niche (as though poor sales don't already punish them enough).
My suggestion is rather simple. Underperforming games should be moved into their own download section, like a "bargain bin" only labelled something more... marketable I suppose. That way, they stay out of the way until someone decides to browse the list. MS could even sweeten the deal by providing deals on those, like say halving the price of unpopular games to move them a bit more. That way, not only do they stay out of the way, they can still attract buyers who might want to browse a list of cheap games to see what just got their leg up on the pile.
I disappointed with casino Royale, Besides one of the chase scenes in the beginning of the film , I think the rest of the movie stank and Daniel Craig is totally emo.
Quantum of solace sounds like something Scott Bakula should be in.

I just wanted to say that Great Rumbler is awesome and everyone here should listen to what he has to say because he is very smart, as well as knowledgable.
Also, his scifi trilogy is the best thing I've read in years!
Think about it... this is a simply incomprehensible amount. Four thousand dollars a second? ......... what can be said... the amount of money being wasted, flushed down the drain... corruption, graft, funding of mercenaries with free licenses to kill anyone they choose to, and everything else... hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars, all of it borrowed from overseas lenders, most obviously China. And people wonder why our economy is in trouble?
