De-listed, Cancelled, Other:

XNA Racer was previously to be an XBLA title, but is now a Kinect title to be available at full retail.

Saints Row Drive-By cancelled on all platforms, no reason given.  Metalocalpyse cancelled, no reason given.  Yaris was de-listed, the reason given was that it was a "limited release" game, but the cynic in me points to that fact that it was the worst title available on the service (even though it was free.)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Re-shelled is being de-listed in the US due to expiring license, probably the same situation that Double Dragon hit, although the Double Dragon on XBLA was mired by suck.  The Expiring License Situation also has claimed several Midway & Atari titles:  Tapper, Robotron, Defender, Smash TV, Tron, Discs of Tron, Cyberball 2072, Gauntlet, Joust, Paperboy, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. 

The Mortal Kombat license has been picked up by Warner Bros, and they are releasing Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3 as a bundle XBLA title in the Summer of 2011.

OutRun Online Arcade being de-listed due to Ferrari license not being renewed.  Live Free or Die Hard has to have been cancelled by now.  Pinball FX has also been de-listed, but Pinball FX2 has brought the tables available for PBFX1 to PBFX2, so they are still available.

Other de-listed titles include:  Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, Lost Cities, Totemball, EA Sports Football Ticker

Corey, aka MaxShrek, has been tracking the XBLA games for almost 5 years over at the Gamers With Jobs website, so he's taken parts of that thread into the Einstein & Pencil Shavings website. The whole "When's Days" thing happened when Microsoft was saying titles would come out on Wednesdays- every Wednesdays- yet the start of the program was a bit "iffy" on updates, title releases, or both. Still the premiere downloadable arcade service!

Thus, XBLA When's Days was born. When will it release, what day, what time, how much, etc, etc..
