Classic Xbox titles coming to Xbox LIVE Marketplace

Microsoft is fighting fire with fire it seems, as the Official Xbox Magazine is reporting that Xbox 360 owners will be able to download original Xbox titles come December 2nd. The service will be part of the Fall Dashboard Update, and will feature six titles available from the start, each on sale for 1200 MS Points ($15 USD). What games are for grabs, you ask?

  • Halo
  • Fable
  • Burnout 3
  • Fahrenieit
  • Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
  • Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

    • To say this is awesome is a slight understatement. With a service like this, Microsoft could very well rival Nintendo’s Virtual Console service.

      I remember that level fondly. It was the only level where I could hold three weapons. [sigh] the memories are just too many. Also, AotCR is still one of the coolest levels I’ve ever played on a video game. Warthog blasting, checkpoint skipping, and getting out of levels were my favorite pass times when not at a LAN party tele-smacking and pistol-sniping my friends… or people on the internet thanks to XBConnect.
