The 360 is getting its first major update in a while, very soon, and we’ll be able to download Xbox 360 titles directly to our hard drives.* Whoopty frickin do!* We’re all screwed!* And everyone that buys full size games at retail prices online is to blame.

While the list of games available on demand at launch are fairly crispy titles in most cases, we’re all about to take a run down a black diamond trail for gamers that involves us all paying more for games than we used to, while the price stays pretty much the same.* We all know how this ends for us.

That’s because Gamestop, a company who depends largely on resale of used games to both entice customers and pad its bottom line, is going to find itself sitting on a pile of crap it can’t sell if its competitively priced online, without the need for a pesky trip out of our home lairs.* I do not believe we are too far removed from games being available online at launch, just as with STEAM for the PC.* The moment that happens, I reccomend dumping your Gamestop stock while smacking yourself squarely in the face with a board.

A bunch of gamers are going to dance a jig the day Gamestop announces its bankruptcy, however their cheers will be short lived as they realize we’ve arrived at an age of digital distribution.* Where you pay the same price for games that you’re stuck with forever.* This means your downloaded game collection, no matter how recent or vast, is worthless outside the confines of your Xbox 360.

Not cool.

I browsed the complete list of downloadable AAA titles in a strange game from Eoco. (http://kotaku.com/5330817/your-us-xbox-360-games-on-demand-launch-titles)
