It's official - downloading games is the new going to the shops. First we had Nintendo's revelation that you'll be able to access classic titles from its expansive back catalogue to play on your shiny new Revolution console - at a price, of course.
And now Microsoft is offering games for download with the European launch of the Xbox Live Arcade service, said to offer "a new social experience that brings popular retro classics and broad-appeal games directly to your console." All you need to get started is the special launcher disc, which comes free with all new Xboxes or can be obtained by calling 0800 587 1102.

We must ask you to please refrain from posting links, or even hints as to where to obtain this release. We warn you - immediate action will be taken on anyone who disregards our request. Thank you.
Still this has been out in the US for what seems like a year or so now.
When Nintendo announced downloadable classic games on the Revolution, my first thought was, "Oh... like Live Arcade."
woah.. expensive
You know since you spend money on an Xbox Live! subscription you would think almost all of these services would be included in that cost. But I guess that isn't the case here (which is a shame really becasue the subscription isn't overly cheap to begin with).
Get bent!
