Original Xbox games coming to Live Marketplace

Such a shame that they don't come with achivements, I'd rather own the original game in that case, or get the PC version.

I hope SF 3rd Strike will com along with this

Im so hoping for the lost chapter version that way im gona get filled in on all the big holes in the story that i felt like i missed in the normal fable version, like who the hell whas that **** in the end of the game helping you fight monster in theforest?

well, i've seen 'halo: combat evolved' for $10 at best buy, but other than that it is a good way to spread these games to people who don't already have them.

I hope Fable up for download is the lost chapters version...

Yes I agree with Ryan-man I already own Halo and it is so so old and there is much better games that I would rather play for 70 bucks a shot.

most games look like crap now, not worth buying. m$ pfft

OLD IDEA... Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console, basically, as you can see. Yet still, it's a great move for MS, finally we'll be able to get Fable....

bufff... I wait play in GR 2 and GR 2 Summit Strike. ¿If i have the original game can copy in HDD without pay?

no achievements (already announced) but I never played Fable, so that should be fun.

will they have acheivements?

most likely won't buy any but stranger things have happend

$15 for a old game.!!! That seems rather steep. Shouldn't Microsoft be selling them for under $10, since they are cutting out the retail merchants and will save on not printing instructions and game discs? And you could probably score some of these games used for the original platforms for under $10 if you are a frugal shopper. COME ON, pass down the savings to us, don't blatantly try to make an obscene profit on these games which all (with exception of Psychonauts) made millions for their companies already.

raahsnavj, did it ever say in the text "we will also stop making xbox games backwards compatible". These news only say that people who DOESN'T already own these games on Xbox will get a chance to play them and not having to pay so much for it. If people already own these games, why would Microsoft not make their games BC?

and i would like KOTOR

i would like Ninja Gaiden please

I've wanted to play Psychonauts for a long time and now I'll be able to. The other games I own or have played, so don't really interest me. But hopefully a few other games I'd like to get my hands on will be released.

raahsnavj, if you have the disc you can play the game on your 360 just fine without paying again or downloading it. This service is for people who cant find the game in stores or dont want to go out and buy it, or maybe just dont want a disc.

I'm amazed at how many people forget that M$ promised to have backward compatibility in the 360. Instead now they get you to pay $15 for something you should have already if you have the disc! What a bunch of suckers we are for letting the big M steal our money... again.

lawlz what a great marketing scheme M$ has made here. Fill up your drive faster with a couple games and then the customer will have to buy a bigger HDD in order to fit other things on there xD Brilliant in my eyes and I can see thousands of xbox 360 owners falling for this marketing idea of theirs. To bad I only use my HDD for game saves and nothing else and besides what possible orignal xbox games can they bring for download that I would want to play but don't own a copy of?

sizewise, im guessing about 2-4gb each..... enjoy your HDD while you can MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

They should get the Xbox version of UT. I forget what it's called though.

psyconauts and fable...my question is that how memory will these games take up?

id just download psychonauts cause i have halo and fable.

"Microsoft will start selling downloadable original Xbox games on the Xbox 360 next month for $15. Which of the announced titles most interests you?" "None of them" Ditto.

i already have halo so i couldnt care less really, i do know there are some people who havnt even played halo but played h2 and h3, so they need to check into that, but i might check into fable to get ready for f2

"Microsoft will start selling downloadable original Xbox games on the Xbox 360 next month for $15. Which of the announced titles most interests you?" "None of them"

I love this idea, then I can sell my old Xbox games (They're taking up a bit of space) and maybe they'll have revamped graphics* acheivements too! Let's hope other Xbox exclusive games like Conker: Live & Reloaded and maybe Halo 2 will make it as well, even if later. (*The original Halo in Halo 3's Graphics...Mmmm...)

"blisken11 LOL you idiots, take up more of your HDD and delete your other downloads and have to repay if your HDD goes bad or want to get the game after deleting it, all profit for M$ and all they do is appoligize for taking your $ and making you wait a month for repairing there crappy hardware and extending there worthless warranty to continue the tourment and try to keep you happy with stupid achievement points which only give you bragging right that your system hasnt crash yet and have no life. Enjoy having multi-disc game that'll cost more once devs run out of that limited DVD space and have to get the next Xbox console that comes out with HD-DVD or Blu-ray drive, by then hopefully you'll learn or M$ will that there system is out of date and worthless" Its doing better then the Sh*tstation 3.

15 seems like a fair price. I can't find most of these games for less than 20. And aren't most of these already BC?

blisken11: LOL you idiots, take up more of your HDD and delete your other downloads and have to repay if your HDD goes bad or want to get the game after deleting it, all profit for M$ ______________________________________________________ dont call anyone an idiot because you are the biggest idiot i've seen in a while because if you own a 360 you would know that once you have downloaded anything its free for your account forever i can delete things, strap C4 to my HDD, and just go get a new HDD or memory card and download the same things all for free, i know because 1. my brain contains more than 5 cells, 2. I've done it (except for the C4 part)

God, quit your **** you don't have to download them! no one is forecing you! I think The only game I will get is halo. My disc is so **** up so I can't play it.

hoping to see achievements. if i'm going to overpay that much, i want new content and achievements.

I never got to play psychonauts, so maybe I'll be a tool and take advantage of this.

How about Microsoft make them BC like they should? That is what they should be doing. It is as if they took a play out of Sony's "how can we (insert vacuum cleaner noise)" handbook. A. They cost too much B. What about the people who bought those games already for $50 and are waiting for BC? C. Hard drives are small on most users have 20 gigs... So now they will pay 180 to pick up the 120s to fill up fast too. D. It is all around WIN for Microsoft and LOSE for the gamer. Finally, how about "none of the above" on the poll since 15 is overpriced.

Psssssh. You know, these games would cost the same on a disc, and would be just as (in)compatible with the 360.

Why would you spend $15 on a downloadable game when you could just go buy it used for about half that? Most of the games on the Xbox are like $10 now.

Just realised I predicted this in a blog a few months back. http://au.gamespot.com/users/bacchus2/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25036858

Some games I would pay $15 dollars for (as long as they release them) like Marvel VS Capcom 2, but for some it would be a rip-off.

I wonder is they'll add achievement points, if so that would be awesome.

Yay. My Halo disc was destroyed, so now I'll finally be able to play it again.

Only way im buying any is if they add new features like halo online co-op

The poll on the main page forgot a "none of the above" option, when choosing which game you would download for $15. These games are too old for a $15 price tag. I have some of them (Halo, Fable and Crimson Skies) and I have my old Xbox still hooked up to my TV on an alternate port. So, my vote would be "None of the above".

Do you 360 guys know how big these games are? Imagine the profit they're going to make when you fill it up and have to buy their 120GB hard drive for that outrageous price of theirs. Enjoy being tools.

Nice, get to play pyschonauts finally

One of the "Xbox Live is 5" Themes is for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, does this mean it will be released as a download as well? That's probably one of my favorite FPS titles and I'd love to see it on the 360.

I just hope they add Morrowind at some point.
