Correct, this is not going to be possible with App Store software.
Your consolation is that the software in the store appears to be cheaper to begin with. (Though I don't know if that will be a continuing trend.)
As far as I know Game Centre was made for iOS so that could send notifications and other comunications through one server only (Apple's) to your device instead of using multiple servers (dev's) to your device. Said that is not coming for Mac.
You can re-download your purchases as many times as you want in the Mac App Store.
Wow. Apple cannot win with you. Yeah I paid $199 for Aperture, but price reduction sometimes comes with the territory.
I remember once paying over $600 for Microsoft Office. Now which I can get for only $125. Prices tend to go down.
On topic:
Looks like a nice selection. I was hoping that they release the iWorks '11 . I thought it would be release along with the store.
One thing is for sure, anyone that is an Apple Certified Pro for Aperture is going to have a hell of an opportunity to sell his/her training services! Lots of new potential customers!

How funny that you're correcting Steve's grammAR when you spelled "grammAR" wrong.
'That' is not even mandatory in the sentence...
Apple knows you own a Droid and they are automatically placing you last in the queue.

Log in, close the App Store, re-open and purchase. I did that, when I opened it and download the agreements and stuff should come out.
You should be more careful, sticking your head above the parapet like that.
In non-formal usage, Steve's version is just fine.
However "grammar" is always spelt with an "a"...
Ok, than you think every Wii game title should entitle you to the same title on the DS for free? After all they are both from Nintendo?
I was wondering too. I did the autoupdate and I think it gave me the 143.59 MB version.
If you're running 10.6.5, you can use the regular Update. If you're using anything prior, you have to use the Combo Update. It just means it contains all the previous updates as well (hence the much larger size). Even if you're using 10.6.5, you can use the Combo Update, but you don't have to.

Easier than pop-in your DVD?
Doesn't this kind of defeat the point of the Mac App Store?
Bejeweled 3 $19!!
When there are so many options and games to choose from, do you guys think high pricing like this are going to work for these guys? I see the $19 and click the back button and go searching for 4 or 5 other cheaper games I can pick up instead.
I want to get Bejeweled 3 but that price is keeping me from adding it to the cart. I would be downloading it now if it was $5.
I mentioned this earlier, check Steam, they sell it for the same price.
Yes because people have never been able to download anything before until today.
Why isn't the iTunes Store as smooth as the Mac App Store? I think it's about time they separate it from iTunes at least on the Mac anyway.
The Mac App Store application is nice. However, I do wish it would show your order history including app purchase price (unless I just missed it somewhere).
Apple never said Game Center wouldn't come to the Mac App Store. They said it wouldn't be available at launch. I bet Game Center is built into Lion.
