Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) is a game market operated by Microsoft and is used to digitally distribute video games to Xbox and Xbox 360 owners via Xbox Live. As of June 10, 2009, there have been 221 titles released for Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360. The Xbox Live Arcade service was officially announced on May 12, 2004 at Microsoft's E3 press conference and launched on November 3, 2004 for the original Xbox game console.

The XBLA software was obtained by ordering it on Microsoft's website. It was sent by mail on a disc that also contains a free version of the Ms. Pac-Man video game.

To generate greater publicity for the service, the disc was also distributed with special issues of the Official Xbox Magazine and as part of the Forza Motorsport Xbox console bundle.
