I'll be the first to admit I'm not particularly well versed in arcade game downloads from xbox live (though i did have a browse through some of the original xbox games available and will be downloading a movie with some free points I got) but I really like the fact that these kind of votes are happening. Hopefully the voting application will be put to more uses in the as it is with the wii voting channel.
