would you buy more Xbox Originals if they had Achievements?   ..... i know i would , it wouldnt have to be 1000 of course 250 or 500 would be okay ... i just think its the one thing missing from making originals awesome

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

Nah.

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.

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.

I would immediately buy San Andreas if it had achievements.

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.

Hell fucking yes

I think I would. I need that extra incentive. ;)

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. 

"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."

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!!!

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.

Hell Yes.

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'm interested in havign some achievements for the games, Can't see how it'd hurt at least. 

No i would not.

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.

I still own all of my Xbox games, and I pretty much bought all of the ones I wanted.  If achievements were somehow possible and applied to them, then I would go back and play ALL of them again.

Nope, but it's never going to happen anyway

Totally. Well... I would if I could, but my 20GB hard drive is down to less than 1GB and I hardly have anything on it. It's all pretty whack.

No. Most games I would consider playing again are backward compatible and cheaper to find second-hand.

[edit] plus HDD space.

I can honestly say I have no reason to ever play any Xbox game ever again.

I would buy more easily.  There was a rumor flying around late last year that Xbox Originals where going to have 500G.  I can't remember where I read it.

It depends.  At the moment there is not one Xbox Original game that I would purchase on the marketplace. 

Maybe I guess although there aren't many I haven't played or would be willing to play over just for points............................ but I would really rather they spend the energy/resources to make some games online capable........for instance Halo CE online capable for the co-op campaign(on 360)......omg w/a friend on legendary...great fantasy I spose.

Yes, I would, but I don't expect it to happen, especially after they've been around for so long.

Naw. Not only do I only have a 20gb but the main reason I don't buy originals is that, they don't have anything I want.

Start putting some titles out that people want on Originals (KOTOR anyone?) and I think a lot more people would be buying them.

I haven't bought one Xbox Original because I can get the same thing on disc for cheaper most of the time...if they added achievements, at least that would make them unique (besides the ability to play without a disc). I know my friend Rob would go crazy and buy all of them if they added achievements.

pretty sad hunting down useless points that mean NOTHING

No, the only thing that will get me to buy more Originals is if they stop uploading pure and absolute fucking crap like Zapper, Blowout, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, and Sega Soccer Slam.

I would buy so fucking many.

I play so many classic games that I don't even care about achievements as much anymore.

I think it would be nice to see MS drop the price of the 120GB HDD first...so I would actually have space to download these games.

If they could add achievements to xbox originals i see no reason why they couldn't add them to disc emulated games since the same code is there and things are being emulated in nearly the same way.  The way achievements are given in quite a few of these emulated classics even XLBA games is that certain memory addresses are monitored when those memory addresses are ticked on then the achievement is unlocked.
so achievements wouldn't be hard to impliment in that way as for that i doubt you'd have to buy them all over again since it would just require an update.

Definitely. I've been lookin' for an excuse to buy Psychonauts.

achievements would be nice, but certainly not a big enough incentive for me,  the one thing they do need is to add 60hrz support for PAL territories, or just make its so we can play em over RGB or HDMI.
