More details have slowly been coming in on the Xbox LIVE Arcade game delisting process. Following word that underperforming games on Xbox LIVE Arcade would be removed from the library, GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that the delistings will not begin until after summer. The article also notes that gamers and publishers will get 3 months notice prior to the delisting of the game, and this will only affect XBLA games (not Community Games created by XNA).

What we know so far on the XBLA delisting process:
- XBLA game will be removed from XBLA Game Library listing if:
• XBLA game is on Marketplace for 6 months
• Metacritic score is below 65
• Conversion rate below 6% (demo downloads that lead to a purchase).

- Purchased XBLA games that were delisted will always remain downloadable.
- They can still be purchased by receiving a "recommended game" notification from a friend.
- Three month lead notice, prior to delisting.
