Aaron Mitchell from That Aussie Game Site writes, "I'm a big fan of moving away from standard retail, but the reason I'm a big fan is because the idea of downloading all your games should make it cheaper, easier and more convenient to get the games you want. The service Xbox is providing at launch doesn't seem cheaper, easier or more convenient to me."

That’s why we’re happy to announce the newest Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller and Wireless Headset collection, featuring inspired designs from Forza Horizon 6.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
No doubt this article touches on the weak points of the service. However, fundamentally flawed I guess we will see how much they sell. If people don't buy them then they are going to have to adjust things like price, types of games and getting HDD's priced better so more people will take advantage of it.
It just launched today.. Before you get out the pitchforks lets see what happens. Like the article said, you aren't missing much if you don't buy any of them because more than likely you've played these year+ old games.
Is to use the games on demand service to sell soon to be platinum games roughly a week earlier then the expected retailer dates.
They should also co-ordinate some sort of deal of the week or weekend sales similar to that which steam holds.
Exactly, my PS3 has a 500 gig HDD that cost me only 100 bucks. I don't care about space. The 360 is limited to 120 Gigs and it's way overpriced. I bought perfect dark zero for 10 bucks, Kameo for 7, and Mass Effect for 15. Bioshock was being sold for 5 bucks on steam a few weeks ago. The games on demand, though a nice service, is useless. If a DL game costs more than a hard copy then that's just redundant.
Yes, if the price of the game on demand is the same as retail, it may be a bit more convenient to download the game rather than drive to the store to get it, but at the same time I want the price to be cheaper because it offers that extra motivation. On the other hand, downloading the game instead of driving to the store does save some gas. Another flaw is the fact that all the games are years old, and the library is currently small. Microsoft can bring a lot more popularity to the service by releasing some upcoming games on the service.
I had to bring politics into it cause I really wanted to type BUCKTOOTHED WONDER RUTH BADER GINSBURG.
Nothing more nothing less.
And I agree with the lesser of two evils.
FREE THE HDDs MICROSOFT!!!
I don't want to have to call anyone at Microsoft a BUCKTOOTHED WONDER.
