I just found out that the multi-award winning Burnout 3 Takedown wil be available Worldwide (except Japan) on Xbox Originals starting this Monday, January 14th for 1200 points.
This is great news! Thanks Major. I know a few people that actually were hoping this would come to originals. I will be one of the first to buy it!
If MS doesn't offer something new with the downloadable version of the game, I and apparently many others will have no reason to purchase these games. Im still waiting for achievements and on-line multiplayer for Halo.
Ha! I just sold my copy of BO3 for under $10. Why anyone would spend more money for a DRM-encumbered version of this game is beyond me.
The pricing structure makes sense. 400 points for classic games, 800 points for games that are new or very popular classic games, 1200 points for full games. If they sold them for 800 points, people would complain about the games that are listed for 800 points. "Why would I buy Omega Five for 800 points when I can get a full retail game like Fable, Halo or Burnout for 800 points".
And their price, $15, isn't that outrageous compared to buying the game new from a store. Some you can find cheaper, others are about the same. I wish they were a little cheaper, but I wish everything was a litte cheaper.
With all that said, I would love to buy several of these games but I won't until the DRM thing is addressed.
The Hedon: I don't understand. Why don't you buy a used copy for less money on Amazon.com? You'll get a case, a disc, and a manual. And there's no DRM to prevent you from playing the game offline if you every replace your Xbox.
6:45 est and cod4 is down again. =/ ive got 12 people in a private match who just want to PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. =/
I played this on PlayStation 2. The online play was great and I prefer this to the Burnout Revenge game. I won't be trying it though just yet on Xbox Originals since I'm trying not to spend a lot of points. I have it still on PlayStation 2 so I can still go back whenever. I would be curious to know if the online play still exists on it.
BUYER'S BEWARE!
EA nixed the servers for Burnout 3 Take down. Xbox Live will not work on Burnout 3 since EA controls their servers.
I will not buy this or ay other marketplace content until you FIX THE DRM.
you know what we be great a real update from major nelson regarding xbox live issues and cod4 instead of mindless fluff.....
