   Well, what's making them sell are these single game downloads off the   
   marketplaces. How people believe it's a better deal, I'm not sure, but   
   like KKC mentioned, they are eating it up. Double Dragon, TMNT, Contra,   
   they're going hog-wild for the stuff on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The   
   fact that each one is slightly updated and allow for online play really   
   helps it, imo. If I had a 360, I know I'd buy TMNT that day and play   
   online with any person whose online.
