Grab your swords and your scantily clad women, SoulCalibur is hitting the Xbox Live Arcade this week for a mere 800 MS Points ($10).
There isn't much detail on it, other than the classic Arcade and Dreamcast title will support online play and leaderboards. For $10 though...sign me up.

Food for thought, as IGN brought this up in their review:

....The lack of Mission Mode is a major blow to SC's replayability.
To be fair, the blame doesn't fully rest on the publisher. When Namco Bandai began porting Soulcalibur, Microsoft had a strict 150mb limit. Online play, remade artwork to fit 16:9 and mission mode pushed the game well beyond those limits. By the time Microsoft removed those limitations, Soulcalibur was nearing release. The team managed to tack on all of the unlockables from Mission Mode, which are available from the moment you buy Soulcalibur. You won't have anything left to unlock after downloading, which is likely to make SC a short-lived experience for many.
Those who can look past the lack of online play and the absence of Mission Mode will still find one of the greatest fighting games ever made. That's no bad for $10.
Unless someone wants to verify it....
