I would like for them to have achievements but I'd rather Microsoft to have reasonable pricing to get me into buying Xbox Originals. Paying $15 for a downloaded version of a game that a physical copy of is only $5 is asinine. Not to mention they disable widescreen support, the fact that Xbox Originals (disc or DLC) have no access to the dash and are crummy emulations to boot. M$ says achievements are impossible to add but hell they can churn out how many XBLA releases of older games and add achievements why not take a little bit of time and add them to the originals instead of ripping them straight to the server with no work done on them. Hell Halo 2 technically already has achievements from the PC version whats so hard about copying and pasting them to activate on the Xbox version playing on a 360?

At the risk of Achievement-whoring, yes. Why buy a download game for 15 bucks when you can buy the disc for 10 bucks, unless the DL version has an extra feature like Achievements. Of course, seeing that Microsoft still hasn't released Metal Wolf Chaos no matter how much I beg, it's clear they're not paying attention to what I want on Xbox Originals. I'd buy that for 20 bucks, even without localizing the text.

No, because I can get the actual game (hard copy for xbox) used cheaper through a reseller than it costs to download the things from XBL. Also, I hate the pointless gimmick that is achievement points. Your incentive to play a game should be to have fun and in playing it you are having fun, because the game is fun. Not for some virtual badge that has an arbitrary virtual number assigned to it that contributes to some arbitrary virtual score that in the end is meaningless.
