"There doesn't seem to be much profit in getting people to just interact. I know! We can overcharge our loyal customers who are already paying for the games, internet subscription and Xbox Live!"
"That'll show those Sony faggots who's boss."
As if MS would nickel and dime their customers....

Oh by the by,

How Much Does It Cost?

It is free to download “Game Room,” which you can then populate with classic arcade games available for individual purchase. Buy games once and play on both an Xbox 360 system and a Windows-based PC for 400 Microsoft Points. Or, to purchase a game for only one platform, each individual Xbox 360 or Windows-based PC title is 240 Microsoft Points. You also have the option to pay to play a single game, just like dropping two quarters in the slot in the old arcades, for 40 Microsoft Points. Visit your friends’ “game rooms” and try their games free before you buy.
So essentially, 3 bucks if you wanna buy the game, 50 cents if you wanna try it out once or 5 bucks if want for Xbox and PC.

And seems like limited to two players.
