FULL XBox 360 titles to hit XBox Live - No Points Required

Quote:

At a luncheon following their media briefing today, Microsoft announced an upcoming new digital distribution service coming to Xbox LIVE Marketplace this August, called "Games on Demand."
This new service will allow users to purchase full Xbox 360 retail games directly from their Xbox 360, games that will act exactly like their retail counterparts -- achievements and all -- simply without the box. 30 titles will be available when the service launches. While titles weren't mentioned by name, some titles shown in the demo included Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and BioShock.
It sounds like pricing will be in line with other retail channels, with Mass Effect being displayed for $19.99 in the demo we were shown. Good news? You won't be locked into using MS Points -- credit card purchases will be accepted.

That's pretty big too, jesus, they actually had too much for a 2 hour presentation.

Hope it streams what's needed though, 8 gig is a lot to throw onto older Hard Drives :(

I rather use M$ Points but yeah, this is a natural evolution. Probably wouldn't do it anyway, these games would still take up space.

The game would have to be 5 to 10 dollars cheaper for me to go for that, although that is a pretty cool concept.

Fuck, man. I have 11 games installed onto my HDD with about 20 gigs left. I'm not about to have to download again or reinstall anything if I want to play it. Fuck that.

Not to mention it's much cheaper buyer the damn discs.

Yeah, this doesn't seem ke a really big deal to me. Or something that I would use.

They need a 240 Gig HDD.

My only problem with downloaded games and stuff is im still rocking the 20gb HD. I havnt gone and upgraded yet and sadly after videos and GH and Rockband tracks I have downloaded I am only down to normally like 3-4 gigs without any demos on it.

I need to pick a bigger HD up sometime soon.

Good, I fecking hate discs. I've gone to the bother of downloading things I've previously had on DVD onto my pc so I can stream them on the xbox without looking for the dvd.

Cool, I guess? Probably never gonna use this. I've only got 3 games hard installed and I'm gonna uninstall Fable 2, now that I'm done with it. I'll only ever break it out if I can find someone who has the other 3 hero dolls or if more DLC comes out.

Sweet. And to follow up, we'll get a new 200GB HDD for 500 USD.
