Xbox 360 'Games on Demand' Titles Announced

With Microsoft set to begin selling downloads of retail Xbox 360 games via Xbox Live's "Games on Demand" storefront, the platform maker has issued a list of the titles that will be available when the functionality launches on August 11.

Prices were not provided, though Microsoft has suggested that they will be in line with retail. Unlike other areas of the Xbox Live Marketplace, the price of a full Xbox 360 game download will be displayed in local currency, not Microsoft Points, with buyers able to either charge the exact cost of a game to a credit card or use Microsoft Points.

      Except that you're paying retail prices for a game you can't resell or take to a friend's house.

        Yea. If it's not cheaper, that could suck. I would want the titles to cost at least $10 less if not more.

        Though I suppose, with digital dist, it'd be easier for them to have sales sometimes like Steam.
