The first titles have launched for the Xbox 360 Games on Demand. The seven titles are now available to Xbox Live members that were fortunate enough to obtain a place in the Preview Program. What’s interesting about the titles is the game’s pricing, which is listed in pound and pence, rather than in Microsoft Points. The titles currently available are as follows:

Microsoft are really out of touch with these prices. Just checking one site (play.com) everyone of these games is available for much less starting as low as £7.50 for a full retail version which you can sell on when completed. I'm sure shopping around (ebay,shopto etc.) you could buy every one of these first batch of games for around £10 each. I won't be touching these, really makes me worried if the next gen consoles were to go download only, bargains and value for money will be history!

I agree completely!! Seems a bit steep to be charging £19.99 for these games when every one can be picked up cheaper and then sold on when complete. Crazy, crazy fools.

Wow the average game is 6GB and at 13 hours to download on a 1MB line can't see many people downloading these overpriced games with no sell-on value.

Too expensive.

It is a bit costly, more so when its not a physical item and no distribution costs involved.
