Xbox Originals Manuals and Controller layouts (and free themes and picture packs)

If you downloaded an Xbox Original title from Xbox LIVE be sure to check out the pages for each game on Xbox.com. Each games page has a link to a PDF of the games manual, as well as a controller map to tell you what is where:

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Fable (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Fuzion Frenzy (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Halo  (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Indigo Prophecy (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Psychonauts (Manual PDF) (Controller Map)

Also, (and I have not seen this mentioned anywhere yet) grab the free theme and picture pack that each new Original has available.
The quickest way to find them is by going to the Marketplace blade>Game Store>Xbox Originals then choose a title. From there you can download the free theme or picture pack, as well as purchase the game.

Or save yourself some HD space and buy the games on eBay for half the price!

I mentioned the free themes (as well as the bioshock content) on the arcade list last night (since it was the most recent post at the time. Do I get a cookie? :)

Question. If I started, say, a game of psychonauts using the original disk on my xbox 360. If I download pyshonauts off the Xbox live marketplace, will it recognize my current saved games and allow me to continue where I was or will I have to start over ?

thanks,

These are too expensive, I can get fable Lost Chapters for 14.95 new at futureshop in canada, its 19ish if I download.

I was going to buy a bunch, now I'll feel like an idiot if I do - there is *no* advantage for the customer at these prices!

Why I can't buy these games here in Brazil? :-/

I understand the Video Market restrictions, but 'Xbox 1' games from Microsoft?!?!

It's very sad.

I just found out that despite the link from xbox.com taking you to The Lost Chapters and the themes you can download teh Fable xbox original is just the regular Fable (not the Lost Chapters).

Quite bad play and false advertising if you ask me, especially when most can go to GAME over here in the UK and get The Lost chapters edition for around £8.

the theme for Fable which you can download is for Fable the lost chapters, not sure if this defo means that the game is the same but hopefully it will be.
