Space Invaders Extreme for XBLA comes with retro extra

Like Puzzle Quest, Space Invaders Extreme — an entrancing electronica-fueled rhythm game featuring Taito's pixelated invader squidlings as exploding beats and notes — has turned into one of those games that I feel compelled to buy and replay on every system for which it is released. I already own the DS and PSP versions, and the announcement at TGS that the title would also be debuting soon for Xbox Live Arcade made it almost a certainty that I'd be spending some of my gamer points for the game on that platform as well. But if you're still not convinced Extreme is worth buying yet again, some added impetus, courtesy of Square Enix and Taito: the XBLA version will also include a port of the original Space Invaders, gratis.
