Halo For Download On The XBLA? >

	Apparently Microsoft is planning to release Xbox games for download Via the Xbox Live Arcade. According to a now-removed article over at CVG, MS is planning to offer some of the greatest games from the Xbox on Xbox Live for download. These include Halo, Fable, Fahrenheit, Crimson Skies: High Road To Revenge, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex and Burnout 3. Sounds like a winner, rumor mill for now, click read more for the full removed text. The Fall Xbox 360 dashboard update has been revealed to our colleagues at OXM from Microsoft and it's looking very good indeed with gaming classics and films on demand. December 4 is the date you'll need to watch out for; that's the day you'll be able to download and play Halo. Yes, Halo as in the Xbox game, through Marketplace, on your Xbox 360. Microsoft is introducing games it has published for the original Xbox on XBL Marketplace, with the eventual plan to bring as much of the back catalogue across as possible. Games cost about 1200 Microsoft points (about ten quid), which according to us puts them a little over what you'd pay for them second hand. The initial list of downloads includes Halo, Fable, Fahrenheit, Crimson Skies: High Road To Revenge, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex and Burnout 3. All good then, apart from maybe Crash. And if that wasn't enough, films on demand, though not confirmed for the December 4 date, aren't far away. Studios such as Warner Bros are potentially lined up for the service, so we can look forward to films such as The Dark Knight, The Assassination of Jesse James and I Am Legend appearing eventually. Films will cost less than a fiver and come in 720p resolution. You have 14 days to start watching a film once it has downloaded. Once you started watching a film, you have 24 hours to finish it. After that, the film deletes itself from your hard drive. It's basically an online rental service then, like the US Video Marketplace. What do these new additions mean for the future of Xbox Live Arcade? Does the PS3's PSOne download service now look horribly dated? It's going to be an exciting 2008 in the download space, for sure.

burnout 3 to download sweet. best racing game ever

now this would be cool!

I wouldn't download burn out 3 just cause of the old school graphic.. I'll download Crimson Skies

I would download the original halo if the price is right.

That would be AWESOME!!!

I bet they would have it so the new Halo has an "Enhanced" graphics mode with more detail, similar to Halo 3.

That would be AWESEOME!!!

$15...that is too expensive...I will get off my lazy butt and put Halo 1 in the disc tray for the Xbox 360. The only way I would pay $15 to buy a game I already own is if it has an Enhanced graphics mode.

Hopefully this will be like the PC Halo Champion Edition with an Enhanced graphics mode.

i think it'd take up a lot of room...

great news for gamers if it happens to beb true.

at blue, lol on the image
