Microsoft reveals the lineup for this year's "Summer of Arcade" promotion on Xbox Live Arcade.
The promotion starts on July 18 with Tony Hawk HD and ends on August 15 with Dust. Just like previous Summer of Arcade promotions, this year's special offers 400 MS points as a gift for purchasing three of the five titles available.
The main difference this year is all except one title is at the 1200 MS Points price while the special gift doesn't increase in points to offset the higher priced titles.
Tony Hawk HD was also confirmed to be a timed exclusive for XBLA with the PSN version not available until weeks after its release for the Xbox 360.
