    More Downloadable Games Plz

    I'm looking at my 360's dashboard. It's after ten at night. I want a new game. Everything on XBL is short. All arcade stuff. Puzzle games. Tiny platformers. Community game with bad art. All fine. All worthy (maybe). But none is what I want. What I want is a full on retail game that I can simply click on. It's late and I'm lazy. I don't want to go to the store and purchase a game. I want to turn my system on and buy a full experience. Where's a downloadable Gears? Hell, where's Burnout Paradise? When I look at my PSN choices, I can see Wipeout HD, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk...all substantial games and all worthwhile purchases. Where's the 360 game that matches these choices? Xbox originals are big, but I have those. Microsoft needs to get on the ball and start doing the Steam download thing on their system. Full, meaty games for slightly less than boxed copy prices. I want it. Others want it. But after the failure that was GFW, does anyone really think MS knows anything about digital distribution in anything but arcade titles? I love XBL, I just want this one option in there. I'm sure it's coming, but when? That's the one thing PSN has on XBL. Now, my lazy ass has to play an old game and resist my urge to impulse buy. Oh, wait....iTunes games......
