I don't know if it has been brought up, but wouldn't it be kool if you could use MSP and rent games for like a week. Pay almost the same amount you pay for at a rental store. They do movies why not games.

They do the Xbox originals so doing 360 games shouldn't be that hard. You can buy games and download them on the PS3.

Something I would like to see on the 360 one day. Plus it would say gas and time. Just got to have the HDD space and time for DL.

Would be real difficult to use this on a gaming console. Too much trouble, this would take up so much space on someone's HDD and take hours to DL also. Just would be a pain to have imo. Great idea, but will never happen cause it's too hard to handle and keep up to date. This is just what I think, I mean it's an awesome idea.

And also the Xbox Originals, don't you buy them, not rent them. So in that case, totally different.

Well it can't be that hard.....most games MAX might be no more than 7GBs. On top of that you rent moives off the 360 and when time is up you can't watch them. Plus HDD space shouldn't be a problem if you have 20GB HDD. I have like 9GB on my HDD right now. Plus like I said the PS3 you can buy games and DL them.

I highly doubt it would be hard to include.

Also DL time you can Dl it while you sleep wake up and play. Some movies are 2GBs anyways.

Download why I am sleeping, why so my 360 can overheat? lol. I just don't see it happening, that's why they have Blockbuster and other gaming rental sites and stores, if they do that, they would pretty much make them obsolete. Which won't happen imo. But that's just me.

You know about the background DL right where you can continue to DL stuff while your 360 is off. You use a little power from the brick just to keep the DL going. So it wont BLOW up LOL.

Yea I know about that, but your Power Supply can overheat as well. It's easier to replace, but can still overheat.

Uh..... on a certain type of site where you can download certain types of things, most 360 games are about 5 gigs, with the exception on GTA being 7.63 gigs.

Haha, sorry for being so noobish and not downloading all that much.:p I try to go to Blockbuster and Netflix to rent movies and I rent games from Blockbuster and Gamefly, so I actually never need the background downloading and never knew about it.

I wouldn't mind downloading 360 games actually, would be good for getting achievements on crappy new retail games that are highly priced..

Plus it would say gas and time. Just got to have the HDD space and time for DL. It wouldn't save time at all. Pretty much every Xbox 360 games is over 6GB in data. Unless you have an extremely quick connection, it takes a long ass time to download that much data. You'd be looking at 1 day+ just to rent a game. In that time, you could have easily walked down to the local renting shop, beat the game, and took it back to the store; all before you've even played it on the 360 via downloading.

It would be good as a trail for MS as they want to sell full games to us via download to cut out the middle man.
