A Xbox game will be around 600 megs so about as mutch as a 360 Demo (I imagine)

True but with data sale you don't have to worry about the disc being scratched or burned.

I kind of agree this is a very average announcement. Hopefully it appeals to some users but to me, why go and buy a last gen game ? Sure arcade has its nostalgic uses, but like others have said, xbox games are easily available cheaper than they are offering. Sure its nice to have it on the harddrive, but for the majority of users this would fill up their precious 20gb's pretty fast, and the alternative of upgrading to the way overpriced 120gb hdd (yeah right) or the elite (not really a valid option for most current owners of a 360) are not really valid.

It is nice to see MS innovating new material though, but this was a bit of a let down for me if this is the major announcement of the next dashboard release (along with the parental thing that is very meh also).

I'm sure its the first handful of games out of many yet to come. As far as hard drive space, I'm sure it will work exactly the same as the Arcade; once you've purchased a game, you can download it over and over again. Wiping it from the hard drive when space is needed shouldn't be an issue. Why do so many of you take a negative tone when they are adding value to the Marketplace, and giving you more choices? It's a good thing, folks.

hell if you think about it why not spend your MS points on a game that actually has seen more than 2 months development time. I'd much rather cough up the points for say crash bandicoot than Racer X any day although i have to cough up the extra 400 points ....but that's just me. A good move by microsoft.

It's always nice to have more options, I don't really care about achievements but if we can play some of the older games over XBL that would be pretty sweet.
