Xbox Originals

So along with the Fall dashboard update, Microsoft added Xbox Classics to the Marketplace today. All of the games have been set at 1200 MS points ($15 USD) and include a downloadable manual.

Here is the official website: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox...ls/default.htm

Games Released:
Psychonauts
Halo
Indigo Prophecy
Fuzion Frenzy
Fable
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of the Cortex

So who's downloading what?

The prices are high for some of those, but I may download Psychonauts. Good to see Crimson Skies on there, although you can get that at any Gamestop for like 4 bucks.

$15? Can't you buy all of those games for less than that in physical form if you get them used?

I was thinking the same thing, but this is something that may appeal to people who want to play a full xbox game without having to drive to the store or isn't quite up to date on prices. Do these games come with Achievements?

That list you posted doesn't match your link.

According to that link, the games are:

Crash Bandicoot
Crimson Skies
Fable
Fusion Frenzy
Halo
Indigo Prophecy
Psychonauts


I'll probably test it out sometime soon and pick up Fable, Indigo Prophecy, and Psychonauts. Missed out on those the first time around.

No achievements?

Nah.

I am highly disappointed that they chose to not update the games at all. No achievements, no Live play, and no guide button access during gameplay. I was looking at a thread about this on the Xbox.com forums, and I saw where one of their mods tried to spin the situation. They said the "coolness" of this is that you can download the games and you "don't have to mess with a disc". WTF? I think they really dropped the ball on this one...

Already a topic on this:

Wow, I already own 5 of those in physical form and they only cost me $5-10. I can't really see this feature take off.

FYI: Each "Xbox Original" has a free theme and gamer picture pack available for download.
