Hi, I've considered buying a 360 for certain downloadable games and was wondering how it works. I heard you have to subscribe to MS's online services, is this just to play games online or is it to download games as well?
Basically, I have no interest in the vast majority of 360 games and don't want to play multiplayer games online but I am a huge retrohead. I understand you can get games such as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Banjo Tooie on 360 - both games cost quite a bit to buy for the original consoles. So what I'm basically considering is buying a 360 mainly just to download rare retro games. Of course, this only makes sense if it's gonna work out cheaper.
So, in the UK, how much do the games cost to download? Would I have to pay a subscription fee to download them and how much is it?
Thanks for the help!
