"Feel the kick as you put your foot to the floor in one of 10 high-performance Ferraris racing your way across the U.S. with an open top and a girl by your side. Winding roads, beautiful beaches and big city lights—it's mile after mile of unrelenting acceleration through 15 action-packed courses, all visually enhanced in stunning high definition. Jump behind the wheel for the ultimate arcade racing experience and push yourself on the road as you race up to six others with online multiplayer. OutRun Online Arcade … it's a beautiful journey!

It will be released on XBLA this Wednesday for 800MSP.

It has to be said, that's an excellent price! Especially when considering the recent pricing trends, and also when considering that some time and effort went into upgrading the visuals slightly and adding online play.

Speaking of online play, it's going to give this game a lot of replayability.

I really hope this sells well so that SEGA considers porting their other racing titles like SEGA Rally and Daytona (I suppose asking for SEGA Touring Car and Super GT would be a bit too much). Those and Crazy Taxi with worldwide leaderboard of course. :)
