I do believe the voices of the Xbox were heard this week as a plentiful splash of happiness can be seen through discounted arcade as well as add-ons to extended enjoyable experiences with Gears of War 3 or Halo: Reach. Microsoft did well to provide for the client base this week, but how will they fair in the weeks to come?
