Xbox Downloads on Xbox 360, And More! (But Not Much)

I love the idea of downloading full games. I am such a lazy bum that I hate getting up to change disks.

Now if only they would give us achievements for these games then I would be happy. Games are no longer about pleasure, they are a way to prove to my friends that I am better than they are and I can only do this with achievements!

@ cupajo YUP. Offtopic, but you can even transfer the XBLA directory to your PC and burn a disc (CD or DVD) with it. With that disc in the Xbox, it will populate the XBLA area and allow you to play games (full or trial depending on permission via Gamertag). Very neat tool. Details Here [ilovexbla.blogspot.com]

@Lizard_King:

OK, thanks. Does that work with XBLA downloads too?

Should be $10.
AND I don't get why they don't sell the hard drives at cost. Would that not make people rent more movies and buy more TV shows?

I love how Microsoft give us this half-ass progress of backwards compatibility but want to start regurgitating Xbox games again digitally.

Only Fable? Not Fable: The Lost Chapters?
Shame I already own or have completed most of the games on that list but at least I know I can still play them when the game finally breaks.

@Cupajo You cannot have a valid LiveID on more than 1 storage device - if you notice in the memory blade, you can only MOVE, not COPY. If you recover the Gamertag on another console (or storage device) it renders the original one invalid.

My suggestion is to skip the Microsoft transfer kit and get a Datel Xport and use the PC to copy the files - then while you are at it, you can transfer the old Xbox1 saved games as well!

"The contents of the Xbox 360's fall update have been revealed to the world."

To be fair, I don't think that the full list of updates has been revealed - this is a reprint of an excerpt of a leaked print magazine feature.

"I would consider buying a larger drive, but I really don't want to go through the hassle of moving over the games I've already downloaded."

The larger drives come with a transfer cable so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle. You can have two hard drives, but your gamertag can't live in two places at once (if you recover, the older one stops working). You could make it work by putting your tag on a memory card instead of the hard drive.

These games are easy to find, and you can buy them for less than $15 on half.com...

Wonder if these downloadable versions will look and run better than playing the actual DVDs? I have all these games except Crash and Fahrenheit.

Jade Empire and Crimson Skies were both good titles. Is Mechwarrior on the list?

Does anyone know if you can have the same LiveID on two different hard drives? I would consider buying a larger drive, but I really don't want to go through the hassle of moving over the games I've already downloaded.

I think I'd rather get tech the same time as the US, and pay US prices. Instead we get violated worse then an weak inmate in a prison movie, passed around between electronic companies for a packet of cigarettes.

Please, America and Europe shouldn't fight. We should team up on Asia, they get even more cool stuff, some of which we'll never see, and when we do it's way more expensive.

Everyone pile on Asia ....
