Dead Space and Dirt on Xbox 360 Games on Demand
Xbox 360s Xbox Live Games On Demand just got expanded with Dirt and Dead Space. Dirt was released two years ago, while the sequel, Dirt 2 was released only a few months ago (read our Dirt 2 review). While Dirt will retail for $30, Dead Space, the horror game released last year, will retail for only $20, a great deal which definitely rivals the price if should you buy it used on eBay or at GameStop.

Xbox Originals to be discontinued
Microsoft has revealed that Xbox Originals, the download service for original Xbox games on the Xbox 360, would be discontinued after the next game, and replaced by the new “Games on Demand” service, which will offer full Xbox 360 games to be downloaded. Microsoft has yet to announce what final the on the Xbox Originals will be. The new service will launch later this summer.
Xbox Live to get full retail games for download
Finally a reason to shell out the extra cash for the 120GB harddrive, full games on demand. Yes, Microsoft has recently announced at E3 that they will begin offering full, retail Xbox 360 games for download over their Xbox Live service.
Don’t get too excited yet because the new service isn’t set to go live until August but make note that you’ll be buying the virtual titles with a credit card instead of Microsoft Points.
Unfortunately, Engadget reports that Microsoft will not allow full titles to be rented but that it “sounds great for the future”.
