Kotaku is reporting that the upcoming Fall update for the Xbox 360 will include support for downloading classic Xbox titles over Xbox Live.
According to an article in the latest Official Xbox Magazine, 360 owners will be able to download a number of original Xbox titles for 1200 Microsoft points each ($15 USD). The initial titles will include Halo, Fable, Farenheit, Crimson Skies, Burnout 3 and Crash Bandicoot: the Wrath of Cortex.
While you can pick up most of these titles for less than $10 used, it’s nice to be able to grab these classics without leaving the comfort of your couch. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the dashboard update when it hits on December 4th.

The Xbox Live Marketplace has proven to be another great way at monetizing the XBL service on top of the regular annual fee.
Honestly I never thought I would go for the whole pay content, I mean why would I pay $3.99 or so for a movie that I can only essentially watch once (I wouldn’t watch a movie more than once in a 24 hour period). But it actually has gotten me a few times when I’m bored and don’t feel like going to Blockbuster and don’t have anything from Netflix.
Those are really good games, but they better add Psychonauts to that list since it’s not backwards compatible.
