hello.

a while back i tried to play 2 of my xbl arcade titles, marble blast and double dragon.

both had gone back to trail mode.

some users pointed out this could be because of a xbox licence migration, ie if you get a new console you have to transfer licences to use items you have downloaded.

so the other day i did the transfer it was quite easy you just log onto your xbox account online and click on migration, thus next time you turn on your xbox 360 online it auto migrates which is great.

BUT.

marble blast works fine but double dragon is still in trail mode.

i searched for double dragon on marketplace and guess what its not on there anymore? its just dissapeared.

ive just searched the net and found this http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/20088/Double-Dragon-Speedball-2-No-Longer-Available/

"Founded in 1987, Empire Interactive had a long history of publishing and developing games on systems from the Amiga all the way up to the Xbox 360. But the company was closed in May of this year. Now, its two Xbox Live Arcade games, Double Dragon and Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, have been removed from the service. It is not clear exactly when the removal occurred and no official announcement was made regarding the delisting. But if you look for the games on XBLA now, you will not find them."

so it now appears i have lost double dragon for good, what a fucking joke if you ask me. they should give you points back if they take games away like that.

i dont buy to many games as DL only titles, but double dragon was a great game i will miss it, i will think twice about downloading titles from marketplace again.

 


More shit talking the 360 Skee?

Go into account history, EVERYTHING you ever downloaded is available there. Even stuff that isn't available anymore on the actual marketplace...

 

Stuff like "Artist of the Month" videos from 3 years ago can be downloaded - if you downloaded them when they were first available.
