Next week, three new titles will be available as part of the Xbox Originals program. Black, Ninja Gaiden Black and Sid Meier’s Pirates will be available for download at 1200 points each starting Monday, February 11th.
cool but is it us only
Awesome choices Ive been looking for Ninga Gaiden for a month but no luck
Pirates! Woo!
no achievments / improvements no buy
Live the life!
pirates is a great game. I still played it after I got my 360.
Yeah, US only. Ya know. kinda like everything for the wii comes out in Japan months before anywhere else. Get it together guys it's not going to change.
Putting Ninjas and Pirates in the same post is just asking for trouble.
cool but i have the original copy of black for the xbox i play it on my 360 sometimes i strongly recomend it to anyone who hasn`t played it before.....cool games
No achievements, and they're more expensive than actually owning hard copies.
Why do you expect me to buy these? :S
Good to see more quality games added to the list of Xbox Originals! But considering the DRM issues still in place and the fact that you can still find hard copies (even new ones) of most of these games for a few dollars less, the only point to downloading these would be if you're in the middle of nowhere with no gaming stores and are willing to tolerate the DRM until it's changed.
i dont know where people are getting that its US only....if you go to the xbox originals part of the marketplace, these 3 titles are sitting there nice and pretty waiting to be released.."coming 11/02/08" it says on them!!
I have to agree that these games are over priced for what you are getting, unless you can't find the original game. For roughly $18 CDN, the Xbox Originals are games that you can't lend to a friend, can't resell, and can't trade in when you finish it. Most of these games are around $10 used at various game shops, so why charge more for something with less value? The Originals should be $10 or less, considering there's no resell and lacks the other intrinsic values of owning physical media.
BLACK is frickin' sweet. Sadly, it's broken by getting to the fourth level on backward compatibility. I can't wait for Criterion to finish the series since they DID announce it as a trilogy. PIRATES is great too. I have all of these XBOX ORIGINALS games. Everyone else should get them too!
Its not US only. Its just not up yet.
Anon 1, original XBOX games never had achievements so why do you expect them to have achievements on the 360? Stop being a moron. Developers would have to go back and re-work the game to put them in and that will never happen. XBOX games are made to play as they were on the original XBOX console.
I'd like to play Ninja Gaiden Black, but with no achievements, why would I download it?
Ninja Gaiden Black and Pirates! used both cost more than $15.
So posters saying this is a useless system ftl.
good chices
good choices
Good :) .
Three great games :D .
P.D.: KOTOR 1 can will coming soon, please?
Many Manic Mice : Maybe you'd download it to play for like..you know...FUN? Remember thats the whole purpose of games. Dont forget. Games arent made to bump up your little number next to your game which represents absolutely nothing.
Awesome choice of Games. I want Black but hear its very short. Never did finish the original NG so be nice to play through again on Black and complete it! Also here in the UK NGB is £15 on Ebay! So its actually a better deal on the Originals.
Am I on facebook - Am I a pirate or a ninja?
I've bought 2 Xbox originals now and I'm chuffed to bits with them. I never had an Xbox so being able to download some of it's greatest games at the touch of a button is awesome.
Keep them coming!
No thanks.
Lower the price to $10 (800 points) and I might buy some of them. The only one I've got is Psychonauts and I got that for free. It just seems silly to charge so much for these games when you can get them cheaper.
eg:
