Three more Xbox Originals announced

News | February 6, 2008 12:55 pm
Black, Sid Meier's Pirates and Ninja Gaiden Black will all be coming to the Xbox 360 next week via the Xbox Originals download service. Cost is the same as usual at 1,200 points each despite the fact you can probably get these for less at the local used video game store.



Starting next Monday, February 11, you can download three more Xbox Originals from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Download and play Ninja Gaiden Black from Team Ninja (Tecmo), Sid Meiers Pirates! (2K Games), or BLACK (Electronic Arts), for 1200 Microsoft Points each.

At least these are a little better than the old ones, but I don't think I'd ever buy an XBox Original. Add achievements damn you!! I don't care who you are, if you beat Ninja Gaiden Black, you deserve 1000 points at least!

Your right. Even if it's 500 points for old games. I'm shocked Microsoft team have left this out. Points are a marketing must.

Re: Three more Xbox Originals announced
what sucks so bad is if you have the energy to go to a local gamestop, you may find these games in a bin for 4.99 used. then you pull out your edge card, and get an additional 10% off that, burnout 3 is 1200 points, or a trip to gamestop then worth 2 to 3 bucks... :)

I purchased the XBOX Original FABLE for points and regret it.
The main problem with these originals is there are major AUDIO glitches.
It makes the game unplayable.
