Older 360 games to be made available as downloads on Xbox Live

Xbox Live boss, John Schappert, has confirmed that many of the Xbox 360’s back-catalogue of games will soon be available via download on Xbox Live. This deal will however not happen for newly released titles – as we are sure places like Gamestop would throw a fit.

No details on how long a game will have to be released before they are made eligible for the service, but if we know Microsoft it will likely vary depending on the title.

No solid date on when we will get the first games via download either.
