NinjaWizard I already have the downloaded version, also I see this being extremely pointless. Anyone can just get the $20 for the game and buy it off the marketplace.


It's more for the people that don't have xbl.

Fans Why not just buy it from the marketplace. Kind of a stupid idea to bring this out months after most people have already bought the game through the X-Box Live Marketplace..

As stated in the article, not everyone has connection to internet, some people have to use disk games and have never updated their consoles. I am sure this will sell, plus if your account/console gets banned you don't have to pay $20 again because you have the disk.
