It's great that Catan is getting some play, but honestly, 15 years after it came out in the US, the shine is kind of gone for me. My experience with the game is reduced to cursing the die rolls that never produce for me, as I plod along a rather bland series of decision trees. It's not that the game is not a classic, it's just that so many games have come out in the meantime that are getting better and better.
The addition of Ticket to Ride to XBLA is the best step forward I've seen them take (not that adding Catan and Carcassonne were not also awesome). What would be ideal is if they could get in some REALLY excellent games like Stone Age, Agricola, or 1960. Or Power Grid.
