Yep, it comes with the game, and it's the only way to play it. It will retail for I believe $150. The game will just be single player, but there is an expansion in the works already and XBox Live support will be built into the expansion.

Some people are suckers for racing games. Me? Mech games for sure. I'd own one of the Battletech pods at the Dave & Busters in Denver if I had the spare change to afford one. This, combined with an XBox running VGA to a 27 inch monitor should keep me happy enough for now
