| Shadow1980 said: Tell that to people who had an original Xbox (and to DSi owners in the very near future). My Halo 2 DLC mysteriously vanished from my hard drive one day, but since that was shortly after MS stopped supporting the Xbox, that meant I could not redownload it. $21 of content vanished into the ether. Fortunately the DLC was released on a disc, which is still readily available on Amazon. |
Once the digital servers are taken offline. Then that is generally it.
The Xbox 360 servers for content are still online. And you can still download all the content even if they have been removed from the Store.
My Halo 2 content is still on my original Xbox Hard Drive.
In the Xbox 360's case however, you can make digital backups. Which I have done.

Tends to happen with Digital too.
I was looking for a game called "Chaos Island" recently which is a few decades old, which I couldn't find to purchase anywhere digitally or physically.
Torrents came to the rescue. Illegal. Sure. But I digress.
Most digitally released games in the modern era even once they are removed from digital stores are still sold digitally via key resellers.
