Full Game Downloads to Xbox 360

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

“Microsoft announced the Games on Demand service for the Xbox 360. Set to launch in August, the service allows 360 owners to purchase and download a select offering of full retail 360 games online.”

I don’t particularly like this and I will list why.

Games are the same price as retail. I don’t receive a disk, manual, case or resale value yet still pay $60.

How large are these games? Bandwidth could be an issue for gamers downloading multiple games a month. This might not seem an issue but if you are watching a lot of Hulu or other online video it could be a problem.  Not to mention if you backup information to a server.

My HD crashed. Is there a record of my games and do I pay full price to re-download?  Could I have backed them up on a separate HD or would I be considered pirating?

I could go on but will leave the rants to Josh.

There is a plus, for these purchase you won’t need points just a credit card.

Wolfenstein 3D Confirmed for XBLA

Monday, May 18th, 2009

With Doom and Marathon already available on Xbox Live Arcade, id Software will now complete the classic FPS trifecta with an upcoming release of the original Wolfenstein 3D.

The confirmation came through an oddly low-key approach, with a product page for the game quietly appearing on Xbox.com (via CVG). As you can see on the page, little information is provided, with the release date still listed as “TBD.”

No doubt more information will be coming at E3 next month — as CVG speculates, there may even be a possibility that the game could be released during E3, considering id previously released Doom on XBLA during Microsoft’s X06 event in 2006. It’ll also be curious to see if id plans to release the game on the PlayStation Network as well. Stay tuned.
