	I just starting wondering about this. Since we can get movies from the Marketplace for Microsoft Points, do you think that we would eventually be able to rent complete video games over the Marketplace ? ------------------- Tango Uniform Romeo Mike Oscar India Lima 9iner 1ne 1ne Just a puppet on a lonely string.

	I highly doubt it. I think the furthest something like this would go is just the game demos. -------------------

	We have game demos. As far as full-fledged games, maybe. It's obviously possible to download full-fledged games. War Worlds is an upcoming mech game available on XBLA. Not the best out there, but it's a full-blown game. I wouldn't say game demos, but actual, purpose built games. Warhawk(and War Worlds as described) is an example. ------------------- quote Tengu Nathan: "Where's Tenken gone to?" -Enemy Leader Eliminated- Tenken: "Got it"

	But wouldn't the file sizes be way too big? It would take forever to download. And we would need much bigger hard drives. ------------------- "In the true spirit of the warrior, I enter and compete knowing full well the possible consequences."

	Well, there is a 120 harddrive available. That problem would still exist though. Microsoft WOULD have to make it standard, which makes your point right. ------------------- quote Tengu Nathan: "Where's Tenken gone to?" -Enemy Leader Eliminated- Tenken: "Got it"

	quote Tenken Wow. DVD9-8.5 GB max BluRay-25 GB max Most games don't generally break those barriers. I'd figure with a 20 GB har drive you could probably store one rented game at a time. The majority of the people I know generally only rent one game at a time anyways. ------------------- Tango Uniform Romeo Mike Oscar India Lima 9iner 1ne 1ne Just a puppet on a lonely string.

	It is more possible on the 360 than it is on the PS3, the only games really feasible on the PS3 for rental are the multi platform titles, though saying that SOCOM: Confrontation, LittleBigPlanet, Home and Warhawk are fully fledged games on the Playstation Store but as i was saying more likely on the 360 than PS3. -------------------

	other than the fact that it would take a hella long time to d/l games, its not a bad idea. the average game is like 6-7 Gigs. a 1 Gig demo takes long enough. ------------------- Working on: Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2

	Quick fix for that. Start the DL process and go to sleep. Rental is waiting for you in the morning. -------------------
