For those of you who didnt hear, because it seems Gamespot didnt break this story yet. Its currently 4:09 EST

The fall update (im assuming its because of the update) will allow downloades of original Xbox games. Psyconauts (sorry if I spelled it wrong) Halo (December 2nd) Fable, and Crimson Skies. I dont know any other titles as of yet, and im assuming Halo is the only game up for December 2nd. So....whos stoked?

UPDATE

Seems I was wrong about December 2nd, the starting date will be December 4th. the games will cost 1200 points, or $15.00

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex and Burnout 3are also confermed.

But Halo achievments, and a reason to play through that again sound exciting. As well as Fable because I sorta missed out on it, and the possiblility of online Halo. I do not know for sure if Halo will have online. Im assuming it will, but I don't want to spread false rumors.

Why download games you can still find pretty easily in game stores?

I would download them for points, and the possibility of Halo CE online. I have it on the PC, but I dont like the way it feels at all. I will probably only download Halo CE, Fable, and MAYBE Crimson Skies.

I would never download a game unless it was extra downloadable content obviously. What happens if your hard drive has issues? I would recommend buying the game at the store.

i bought halo CE brand new off the internet for ten bucks 2 months ago, so i dont plan on buying it again, unless it has widescreen support (360 cant play the disc in widescreen, its annoying) The rumored online will also tilt the decision one way or the other. Looks like its time to invenst in a new HDD

I highly doubt that Halo will have online play since it wasnt in the original version and i dont think they would have achievments either since that would mean the companys behind the games being released would have to go back and rework on there games for the achievments to work. I may have to get fable though because i never did play that game and ive heard it was good. I own Halo so theres no need to rebuy it. They need to release Ninja Gaiden Black and Conkers.

If your hard drive has issues you can redownload it. Once you pay for it, the right to play it with your account is yours, not the software itself; which is why you cant copy it onto someone else hard drive and let them use their account to play it.

All Xbox 360 games have and are required to have points. and rework games to make points? Like Pac-Man, Digdug, Marathon Double Dragon. These games will have points, and personally I dont see why Halo couldnt have online. I dont beleive it will have online co-op. But Conker would be a great game for XBLA....the remake for Xbox of course.

Well what other games do we think should be on XBLA? And with what updates that are reasonable?

Like Halo CE online, I would like to see KOTOR, Metal Arms with online, Rainbow Six 3 (maybe), Mercenaries, and I dont think it would happen, but one of the GTA games with better resolution and widescreen (for all games).

I'll be getting some no matter what. (Halo, Fable) But others, like Crimson Skies would have to have something more to get it. I assume these game will have online play since Crimson Skies had online play and Halo:CE PC version is online, not sure about achievements, but if they have them, i'll admit i may get some games i normally wouldnt.

Will they have B/C issues like some Xbox games do? Becuase that annoyed the hell out of me, I couldnt even play KOTOR on my 360 because it lagged so much, so I had to go out and buy the PC version.

Change your 360 resoultion to 480 it plays in widescreen just fine just doesnt play about 480 p. Yeah i know I wish they made an update that fixes having to manually toggle back and forth to 480 to get your old games looking correct.

Fable I would give a download.

Hey, they're adding achievements as well, so why not?

I want the zombie game Road to Fiddler's green on download, eventhough it sucked. I want it.

Lagging happens only in online games.

Bad framerates can happen in any game.
