What are Xbox Originals

Xbox Originals on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace brings you original Xbox games to play on your Xbox 360. Relive your favorites or find games you missed the first time around.


I have a couple of questions.

 

* Can you transfer them to the 120GB if you're planning to buy an Elite in the future.

* Why is the capacity of the game different in other countries ? 

- Halo : +- 2,0GB in Japan ,  +- 4,1 GB in Belgium

- Fable : +- 2,2GB in Japan ,  +- 4,7GB in Belgium

* Did you already bought a tittle and did you have problems with them. (freezing , bugs ?)

I think these are the answers you're looking for...

Like arcade games or anything else game-related you buy on Live, you can re-download them as many times as you want once you have bought them.

The size is different because of different languages. But that shouldn't matter because now you can only download what is available in your country.

There is a list of problems for each game, I think it's pretty much the same problems a game may have when playing the original Xbox disc on a 360.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Why? You can buy used Xbox games from $3-$10, and they are tangible, and collectible, unlike software purchases.

Plus the Xbox Originals are like 3 gb each, and I only have like 10 left and I want to make them last. Maybe if the games had achievements and I had a larger hard drive, but until then I think I'll stick to disks.
