it's easy to get games you can't manage to find anywhere. sure, they are more expensive, but it's really hard to find some games, and I'd much rather pay a little more for them, rather than spending tons of money on gas trying to find them.

Well their is nothing about this new feature that can take away from the 360. The only problem is that some of the games need to be lowerd in price, i mean CoD2 for $30...come on. I got it for $13 (actually fre during a gamestop deal). On the plus side you don't have to wait to get games and their is no sales tax. If a game is good (AC, Bioshock,Mass Effect) then the $20 price tag is great but if the game is just mediocre and can be purchased for a lot less then it would be a good idea to head out to the store.

^Pretty much this. It's great for people who haven't played those games yet and it's isn't something that's mandatory, so I don't see why people would complain about it.

The concept itself is great, no doubt about. The problem are the ridicilous prices and the high price on HDD's making my interest in the current GoD 0%

Maybe if they actually had great deals and prices like Steam for PC I'd actually give a damn.

that seriously depends on the internet connection, and i download about 7 demos after another *in a list* which mostly are 800 mb - 1 gig each, and they download fast, so i dont really worry about that, because it downloads while i play other games.

I think it's cool that they offer it, but I'd still rather have the disc. I don't know why, since I do have a 120GB hard drive and space isn't an issue, but it just doesn't feel the same if I don't have the disc.

I dont know why people would buy games up to 200% more expensive online, than buying it from one of thousands online sites that offer it very cheaply + you get a disc and manual and all that nostalgic material 10 years from now.

Yes, you CAN redownload anything you have downloaded already... but on the same account. Its not about the same 360 or same console, its the same account.

It's a pretty good idea but the games take up alot of space but I'll eventually get a bigger hard drive.

Game selection could be more extensive and less pricey. Seriously some of these games are bargin bin games and they're charging a premium for em. Typical Microsoft I suppose! Other than that the "Games on Demand" is a brilliant smart idea.

no way that would be a fail :P because you would be paying (knowing microsoft like $20-$30) for one game when you could go to a rental store and get it or subscribe to gamefly
