didnt see a thread on this. Article is too big to bold the important points, theres heaps of info so you'll have to read it yourself unfortunately.

This could be good if MS stick to their promise of 1000 games a year, and if some more recent shit comes out. Launch line-up is a little too retro, and 240 MS pts for a fucking 2600 game is pretty steep. The idea has a lot of potential and isnt some half assed shit like PS Home

Scenester, its nothing really special. Game Room is just the shell, and you buy the games and deck out your room. Like Family Game Night.

It's not Gold exclusive (at least I've seen no confirmation), because PC gaming is usable too as it's cross-platform and Live Windows doesnt have Gold tier.

Also, it's gonna start retro, but it will eventually get to our era.

Game Room is basically where they are gonna dump all those ports that are on XBLA right now, so they dont clog it up.

It would be nice if you could set up some of the XBLA games you already have in the GameRoom.  Imagine a Virtual On Oratorio Tangram cabinet.
