Yeah, I would buy some of them. If they had achievements for Burnout 3, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Yeah, probably. I love Burnout 3 and would love a reason to play through it again but I think achievements are the only thing that'd be enough to draw me to it.

Here's an interesting blog on this same topic.

Unfortunately, I don't think they can do it. Each game is nothing more than an emulation of the original. They were all intended for the original Xbox, and thus I don't think they'd be able to put Xbox 360-specific code in them.

No, probably not. It would be nice if they had them, but the real problem is that we've already seen these games before.

It would definitely add value to the download

Microsoft and other well off companies (no Midway) could easily revamp "Xbox Originals" with achievements and charge a good ten to fifteen dollars for it. One of the reasons why I don't bother with the "Xbox Originals" is simply due to the fact that there is no online support for single player games.

Same here, though for a few more games.

I would immediately buy San Andreas if it had achievements.

Yes, probably. Fable, GTA: San Andreas and Burnout 3 would definitely be even more tempting.

Nope. I don't give a damn about the achievements I  get on 360 so it wouldn't influence my purchase either way.

Likely and it would be possible simply add achievements that monitor certain preset memory addresses really.

Lower the price to 10$ AND achievements. Sure, I'd eat that stuff up.
At least make the prices more flexible. 15$s for a game that was originally released for 10$ is quite ridiculous.

Yeah. I'd definitely pick up Ninja Gaiden Black since I only have the original one and it'd give me more of a reason to pick that version up.

Hmmm, I feel like I've seen that blog before! Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time remembering from where. Regardless, the blog's creator is one smart motherfucker. I'd listen to him all of the time and constantly reaffirm how awesome he is, maybe even name a child after him....

I would absolutely buy games like Black, Stubbs the Zombie, and a couple of others off the Xbox Originals if they had achievements.

Man, achievements in Black would be AWESOME!!!

I don't know, I think they would be too hard to see if they were in black.

For me personally there are not that many games that I want to play from the original xbox so xbox originals mean nothing to me.

I would. It would be a great incentive for me.

Nope. That's probably because I own most of the Originals though and I'm not going to pay money simply for points.

The only thing that would make me want to get Xbox Originals is a slightly cheaper price, more choice and (never going to happen) the ability to let my friend play it. I was going to get Fable from Xbox originals and it would have costed me (ignoring that fact id need to get 2000 points not 1200) about £10 but I got Fable on disk for £5. Being on disk meant not having to wait ages for my terrible download speed, no space taken up on my 20gb (read 13gb) hard drive and when im done/bored I can give it to my friend,

I would probably not buy them. My 20 gb hd only has 1 gig left on it. Also,  I would rather own the physical copy of the game.
