It would be wonderfull if MS points went away completly but I dont see them giving up the revenue stream it generates. If they want this to take off they need to start selling reasonably priced larger capacity hard drives. 60 gigs is way to small to suport a digital download gaming service. They also need to impart at least the impression of Steam like reliability and by that I mean you liscence is always there and you can delete and redownload a title as many times as you want. Also if they want to be able to sell classic titles like this they need to do it at a pricepoint that is lower than its disc based version.

Live already has licensing.  Any downloadable content that is for purchase is tied to your gamertag.  It is also tied to the console that you purchased it on, but this can be moved over to any other console.


Yeah but how long will it stay available for redownload? I bought Black and now there is talk of the xbox originals being removed from live. I have a 20 gig and no longer have it on the hard drive because of space issues(20 gig). That is an issue MS needs to address and make clear to its customers.

Now they need new and bigger hard drives. But with downloaded games, you won't have to install to hard drive to make it run quieter or faster like DVD. They are already in hard drive.
