This success, I feel, is a good reason to have newly released full $60 video game titles available via Games On Demand on the first day rather than having to wait a number of months.

This game is also $15, not $60. Why the hell would anyone pay $60 for downloadable title when they could get the physical item for the same price at the store without the need to download? If every game launched on release day for Games on Demand and they were $40-$50, I could see an increase in sales. Especially if you could pre-load the game. However, unless it's up the day of at a discounted price, Games on Demand will never see huge sales.

Just a thought, really. Though I do agree a slight discount would make the purchase more justified.

Have you never used steam? or heard of the battle.net store? People download games all of the time for full price, why won't we see that on console at some point?

I'm actually really surprised no console maker has enabled "pre-loading" for big games. That would be a huge boon for their online sales.

Especially for people who live in rural areas or the midwest. Trekking out to Gamestop at midnight can be annoying if you really want to play on release night.

I don't have a game store within 20 miles of my house, so I know I would buy into it.

This game is awesome and the level editor is just amazing.

Have a look at these:

FPS - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Terminator 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Super Mario Trials - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Fussball - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

There's even one that is a 2D shooter. Incredible stuff!

Yes and of those 500k players I was as of last night ranked 6379.

Hardcore Trials rider. Awesome game. 0 faults on the gigatrack in 7.29

This will sell on and on. Best XBLA title.
