I'm thinking about downloading Ninja Gaiden Black, but I hear it takes a long time to download Xbox Originals even if you have a reasonably fast internet connection. :?

It takes a good bit, but just let it download when you go to bed or something. Or go watch tv.

I downloaded Burnout 3 and it took a few hours. It was a lot longer than I thought it'd take. Ninja Gaiden Black is worth it though. I'd have bought it but I've had it on disc for years.

Fable should take a few hours to download and I don't think the 360 will overheat because of it. When on the dashboard; the xbox doesn't run at full power.

well no one can tell you how long it takes if you dont tell nobody ur broadband speed im on a 10mb connection and if i download a 1gb demo i can usually get it in around 10 mins what you need to do is go into the settings and set ur xbox to download while switched off. then u dont need to leave it on the dashboard. i think its in the settings on the dashboard button menu rather than the system blade on the dash but i may be wrong. then it downloads it while on stand by. u can always turn off mid download and when u turn it on the download will carry on u wont get charged twice or nothing,

I have a question, when you're playing a Xbox original game, does it sign you off of Xbox Live?

so you're scared of buying a game because it takes some time to download? :| anyways, it depends on how big it is mostly. I have terrible internet but I got metal arms (1.5 gb) and it took less than half an hour.

Xbox games are 4gbs and under. Ninja Gaiden is around 4gbs, so probably 2-3 hours if you have a good connection.

Most internet provider companies advertise their products in bits, not bytes, and if your using wireless connection, don't be surprised to see your connection go down by 50% compared to wired connections. Also, people using P2P programs on your network can heavily reduce your download speed.

Halo 1 took about 45 minutes to an hour...If I remember correctly. I just played Fable II while it was downloading. Time flies when you play that game.
