They might as well rename it XBox Live Download at this point. :/

Upside: Maybe they'll get rid of the horrible botched-up XBLA version of Super Contra?

350mb, nice. With Ikaruga here and Soul Calibur on the way, this bigger size opens up the door to most Dreamcast games. Or any other CD based game console from the 90s.

At least we'll still be able to play games we bought. It's still completely unnecessary in the internet age to stop listing games due to poor sales. Maybe a better way of organizing titles would help people find what they want.

There's also the obvious option of lowering the price. 800 points ($10 in USA) is way too much for some games. Try 400, or heck, even 200. Any game with 200 points as long as it didn't outright suck would have an excellent conversion rate.

It'll be filled with 200 games that would have been entertaining if they spent the amount of time testing their games to see what works and what doesn't as much as they did furiously blogging.

"zomg every game on live arcade sux except n+ of course, also we don't even dl demos of other games because they sux so bad duh, we have no idea why people are turning down our future ideas it must be because microsuck is too shitty for our games, hey n+ sold more than even we realize it has any right to but we're still gonna bitch about it because our game is so innovative you can jump around like a ninja see and it has physics and it's a crime n+ isn't #1, btw j allard can we sux your cock"

Mystic swizzles flow from my pen. Four thousand worlds come and go at my will. A new day passes, and with it dimensions of possibilities. Trees of tales like woven words whisper from their intellectual graves. Choices bring death, but choices bring life. My pen brings life to a new world.

As most of you have probably read, if you have purchased any game that has been delisted, you CAN redownload it again.

the decision now makes even less sense to me though.
