A list has surfaced revealing the first batch of 24 formerly retail-only Xbox 360 games that will soon be downloadable via Xbox Live.
Joystiq has posted a list of what looks like the launch slate of Xbox 360 Games on Demand. One of the features of the highly-touted August update but unavailable to those with the dashboard preview, the Games on Demand service will allow Xbox 360 owners to download full versions of retail-available Xbox 360 games that can be launched from the Xbox Dashboard without a disc. Here are the games that will reportedly be available when the new update rolls out on Xbox Live on August 11.
Ah, poorly-aged launch titles. How I've missed you so.
-- Assassin's Creed
-- BioShock
-- Burnout Paradise
-- Call of Duty 2
-- Dance Dance Revolution Universe
-- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-- Fight Night Round 3
-- Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore
-- Kameo: Elements of Power
-- LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
-- Mass Effect
-- Meet The Robinsons
-- MX vs. ATV Untamed
-- Need for Speed Carbon
-- Need for Speed: Most Wanted
-- Perfect Dark Zero
-- Prey
-- Rainbow Six Vegas
-- Ridge Racer 6
-- Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis
-- Sonic the Hedgehog
-- Test Drive: Unlimited
-- Viva Pinata
-- Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise
Are there any games you'll be downloading on day one? Any games you want to see them add in the near future?
While my meager 20GB hard drive will be overwhelmed, this is a pretty good slate for Elite owners. I just hope these games are priced comparably retail games, which offer physical content as well as resale value. I don't have high hopes right now, though, since the Xbox Originals on 360 are all pretty overpriced.

Why would anybody download this stuff. I would much rather rent the game a blockbuster instead of paying through the nose on xbox live also if you beat the game it is just sitting in your hard drive taking up space you can deleat but still dumb idea. I would only rent from blockbuster, try before you buy!!!

I still prefer physical copies, especially if they are going to cost the same amount of money to buy. But if someone else doesn't mind it, then this will surely come in handy for them.

I prefer having the physical game, so that maybe I can exchange it or lend it to a friend. Will these games be cheaper?

Microsoft should invest on selling cheaper hard drive, since with the size of these downloads, it really prevents users from downloading many games.
