When Original Xbox games come to Live Marketplace and MOST of the 360 owners have the 12GB model? The games are supposed to be an avg. of 2 GB per. Those with Elites wont have a problem, but what about the 90% of 360 owners who dont?

Technically you get 12-13 Gigs off the 20GB model, which is laughable. *sigh* Idk, its a good idea and all, but I just dont see how it will work if people want multiple titles. Take that into account with demos, trailers, movies, music videos, content, arcade games, etc...:?

Thats bad for you and others who have the 20gb. Unless Microsoft lower the 120 Hardrive lots of people will be angry.

i'm not getting them. i can get them cheaper on a disk without taking up any of my 10 gigs of free space, plus without achievements or anything (which totally blows by the way) why bother downloading it when you can go and buy it for less?

It's worth mentioning that if you pay for an XBLA arcade title, if you choose to delete it for matters of space you can always download it again and you won't be charged a 2nd time. Your payment stays on your account.

The idea is cool, but with the ridiculous cost of a larger hard drive, combined with the fact that I can get Xbox originals for $5-$10, why on earth would I care to pay them more, plus suck up precious hard drive space? Simply put, I won't.

Even if I had an elite, which I do plan on upgrading to eventually, I still wouldn't do this. I don't see the point in paying more for the same games I can get for less, especially because I like having the disk, box and instruction manual.

To each his own, but this is not something I'm going to do.

No, you get about 18-19 GB. It ships with crap on it you can erase. Mine had 19GB of free space when I cleared everything. Now with game saves and a few demo's I still have around 13GB left.

True, but that wont fix the problem. XBLA games aren't even 100 MBs, so they dont pose to much of a problem...yet.
