Coming soon - games on demand

Now I never need to leave the house...downloadable Xbox 360 games are heading to a room near you! And I'm not talking about games from the original Xbox or even Live Arcade...we're talking full-blown retail games. It's all gonna make me very poor.

I must admit that when I first heard this I doubted whether my broadband connection could take the strain but after trying the video download service the other day, I was very impressed.

The film quality was superb and there was no delay while I waited for it all to download; it was pretty much immediate. A few clicks and I was away - and I don't need to take a DVD back to the shop next day!

Reckon the only problem I can see with downloads in future is my ridiculously small 20GB hard disk!!! Even you out there with the 120GB versions will surely be struggling for space in no time.
