Xbox 360 update - downloadable Xbox 1 games, DivX support

[EvaUnit02]

DivX support is coming eventually, to compete with Sony adding support for the codec on PS3 (eventually). (find a source yourself, I can't be bothered).

Starting on Dec. 4, all Xbox LIVE members will receive a free system update with a host of new features and enhancements. Included in this update will be the launch of Xbox Originals, which, for the first time, will enable consumers to download and own full Xbox games, such as "Halo," "Psychonauts," "Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge" and "Fable," among others, directly to their Xbox 360. This new service will launch with an array of blockbuster titles spanning the most popular genres from action-adventure to classic role-playing games.

With no disc necessary, and at just 1,200 Microsoft Points per game, Xbox LIVE members can easily rediscover these hit titles, or check out a game they missed the first time around. This launch lineup is only the beginning, as Xbox 360 owners can expect to see a growing catalog of Xbox games to download and own over the coming year.

Excellent news, I never got around to picking up Psychonauts. I haven't bought it off of Steam either since I remember reading that the PC version was badly ported from consoles.

The European Video Marketplace ought to be launching sometime around then too. You may be able to buy downloadable HD theatrical films, depending on the content providers (the Yanks can download Buena Vista films in HD). I'm jealous, there's no sign of Video Marketplace launching in Australasia yet.

The old glitches of some of the xbox games will still be present in these DLC versions. In other words, they havent fixed the problems people had with these games when they played them on a 360 before...
