Peter Moore just announced that Tetsuya Mizuguchi's formerly PS(P and 2)-exclusive title, Lumines, is heading to Xbox Live Arcade in the form of Lumines Live. What's new? The music-heavy title will feature Warner Music Group's content integrated into the game. Their example showed a Madonna video playing behind the game.
Sony got to borrow some XBL action, all Microsoft's doing is playing catch-up.

Brilliant move MS, Lumines rocks.

v2: What's your point? That people that write for a gaming blog have an opinion? For shame! It's a smart move, if not original. Not altogether unlike Sony's decision to make an online service that resembles XBL. A smart move.

GTA 4 and Lumines(with music US gamers will actually appreciate). My inevitable Xbox 360 purchase is near...

Sounds like Sony's playing catch up... stealing Live, stealing Wii gyro stuff, stealing PS1 and PS2 games for remakes for launch. It's sad. I'd want more for my $600

Pass. I'm really getting irritated w/ Microsoft's crass commercialism on XBL. I pay $50/yr for "Gold Service". I'm tired of all the commercials in the XBLM, trailers, banners, and now this... Make XBL totally free, or shove your commercials up your ass. Make a decision, please.

Lumines is fantastic. My girlfriend and I are overjoyed this is coming to the 360 since I sold my PSP a few weeks ago :)

Great, a fantastic game neutered of what (to some of its' fans) was close to half of its' charm. I LIKED the japanese soundtrack. I hope we can turn the soundtrack off or choose something besides the latest crap Madonna single, because it just looks like great Lumines "now with added suck" at this point.

Hey hoho, don't make an ass of yourself is more like it. No shit companies rip each other off. But I'm pointing out that Sony hasn't brought shit to the table at E3.
Better start eating off the 99c menu so you can afford your PS3!

Hoho is very grown up, is all.

this years E3 looks excellent for microsoft, a whole bunch of great titles for 06/07 and an even more intuitive service features for live, i cant be asking for more. lumines looks to be a great edition to live arcade. i plan on getting the wii also, and for sony, i was hoping there was going to be at least one reason i should by that console, there wasnt. i was solely disappointed with sonys press conference, because i really wanted there to be some must have titles coming out good enough for me to blow that wopping $600.00.

Well, you know how the 360 can play music over any game. That includes the new xbox live arcade games like Geometry Wars. Well, I'm sure it wouldn't be any different from this time. So if you don't like the soundtrack that comes with it, you can probably add your own.
