Partnering up with server hosting service
Been getting into Section 8: Prejudice, have you? Good, because for $15, you'd have to be crazy to pass this Tribes-esque FPS up. While the game's been out on Xbox LIVE Arcade since last week, TimeGate announced today plans to bring in dedicated servers to the XBLA version via server hosting service GameServers Inc.
Traditionally, you'd only expect dedicated servers for PC. Guess TimeGate saw some value in offering the option as a rental service to 360 owners as well. What you'll be getting for your money (in case you have no clue what dedicated servers are good for) is the ability to customize your play sessions in a variety of ways. Mostly, clans really dig this.
For anyone interested in signing up, you can already get started here. If you're still waiting for the PC release, May 4 is just around the corner, and TimeGate has announced several pre-order incentives. PSN, on the other hand, still doesn't have a solid date beyond "Summer 2011."

Dedicated servers also allow you to choose the map, choose the time it takes to swap the level (if at all), and kick/ban players who are being idiots/hacking/exploiting. A dedicated server is like a minivan. A public server is like a subway.
