Mad Tracks hitting XBLA next week?

It was revealed just over a week ago that Mad Tracks, from developer Load Inc., had passed certification and had been priced at a cool 800 points. According to GamingTalkHQ, Mad Tracks may be coming out sooner than expected. How much sooner? How about next week? It seems that Xboxic reported yesterday that "anonymous sources inside Microsoft" had confirmed that the game will arrive on Xbox Live Arcade next week. Following up on this report, GamingTalkHQ decided to IM Load Inc. VP, Denis Bourdain. It was then that GamingTalkHQ noticed Bourdain's away message: "Save Your MS points for next week." It may not be official confirmation, but it's as close as we're going to get before Microsoft decides to send out the press releases.

Have any fanboys out there been looking forward to Mad Tracks?

1. This I'm excited about. It's been a while since I put down any points towards an arcade game. This may just be the one.

8. Come on MS, please don't break the streak. Give us TWO releases. A classic and Mad Tracks would rule!

P.S. Bring Sunset Riders to XBLA.

yea, it wasnt meant as a derogatory remark, MM was a classic game as a kid also enjoyed more recently on my PSP , but if anyone could point out any differences between micromachines and this game, it would be appreciated =0
