Next Tuesday, August 10th, Microsoft will begin offering full Xbox 360 games for your downloading and buying pleasure, straight from Xbox Live itself. While the company has made statements in the past that Day 01 releases are still 'aways off', the first helping of 21 distinct titles should help them work out the kinks and test their new distribution model thoroughly.
No pricing is available for any of the available titles, but as one of the biggest incentives touted for direct-downloads has been savings (particularly for publishers), let's hope Microsoft prices accordingly and helps make digital-distribution a welcome option for consumers opting to ditch boxes, manuals, and (most importantly) the lucrative resell factor downloaded games will never have. Here's the list, and don't forget to tune your Xbox 360 consoles in next Tuesday for the Fall Dashboard Update!
