Xbox Orginals and Achievements?

[Clayman]

I'm going to be getting a 360 soon, and I've been thinking of downloading Psychonauts, as I've heard good things. I was just wondering if the Xbox Orginals titles had Achievements added to them?

No they do not
if you have a 20gb harddrive you're better off getting the original disc version of the game as these games quickly fill your hard drive. probably cheaper on disc too.

Even if you have the 120GB HDD it is better tracking down the games on disc for the most part since you can find most of them cheaper in stores, Ebay etc. Microsoft really dropped the ball with this by not adding achievements or in the case of something like Halo online play. Yeah it would take a lot more effort to do that but it would also get a lot more people interested in the service and pay off in the end IMO. Also they don't seem to have any intention of offering imports which is the only way I would buy these since getting to play some Japanese games that were never released outside of Japan would be great. They couldn't even keep up offering free gamerpics and themes

Personally, I'd rather have them in a digital format, since you don't have to track down the games you want( most of the Xbox originals are really good games that I would've gotten anyways), you don't have to worry about cracks or scratches, and you can play them whenever you want without having to pop in the disc, it's truly convient service! Too bad there are no achievements though.
