Poseidon© Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Microsoft recently announced that you will be able to download Xbox 360 games from Live for a non-going retail price (I would guess around 55$'s if its a new game). The problem is the memory... I think it would take around 4 - 3.5 GB for one game if they trim the game. You can either use a credit card or Microsoft points to buy. Does anybody see how revolutionary this is? Say you want to get Left 4 Dead 2, but every store in a 10 mile radius is out of the game. Then you can just hop onto Xbox Live and download it.

Poseidon© Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 yea only problem' date=' xbox live cost will probably increase.[/quote'] Why would it increase? Microsoft hasn't confirmed that yet, and also, this article has been out for 3 days. Don't you think that Microsoft would have already made a announcement?

Shadow Mir Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Damn Microsoft copied Patapon!The reason this would put Xbox out of business is that everyone would download. CDs cost money, so they'd stop production of them, and people would lose internet and not get games. I give them 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man0waR Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I don't see a need to increase the price of LIVE. They have a crap load of people buying stuff online its ridiculous. So try are making plenty of cash. I don't see its necessary to sell 360 games online thru LiVE. Only idiots don't live near a walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would care but that would mean I am going to buy a 360 and get a better internet connection. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyKev Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's most likely going to be only select games.It will be quicker to buy the game anywayDownloads like that takes about 1-3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
