Games on demand prices?

Are microsoft deliberately trying to be uncompetitive?

First off they launch all the game and movie on demand updates yet still charge way over the odds for disk space, the price of xbox hard drives is way beyond reasonable (along with everything else microsoft related).

The games on demand thing seemed like a great way to make some cash, no packaging to pay for and shops to keep running, yet still charge 30 euro for an ancient title? What am I paying extra for here, some reject to upload a dvd to live?

Proper pricing and I'd be all over it like a bad smell. If only there was some kind of competition out there in this area (roll on "onlive", don't think apples effort will deliver any kind of value).

we all hear ya. old games that cost 30 euro that cost half or less everywhere else and huge amount of disk space needed to DL is nuts.

While the GoD feature is good, the prices sure as heck ain't. Just as better off searching the used games bin in your local and getting three for €30!

i think the reason for this is because people who dont want to go to a shop to get a game and always want the ability to have it aslong as they have an xbox live connection and hard drive they can redownload it.

if games were cheaper then in the shops nobody would buy them and by the ones online most of the time. which would then make shops stop selling them. i doubt microsoft would want that.

30 euro is way to expensive though. 20 is more like it.
