XBLA gets it's first millionaire

Thu, 2007-03-29 13:54 — Tomacco

Buried in the middle of a report on the new Elite 360 skew, Reuters is reporting that the Live Marketplace has hit 135 Million downloads, citing that Uno is the first XBLA title to hit the million units "sold". Whether this number includes the copies bundled with the Vision camera or not was not made clear, but chances are it does. Either way it's a great number to see and we hope to see many more.

That's awesome
I love Uno and I'm glad the team is getting their credit in the terms of downloads. The only thing I would change is for allowing the custom decks to be played in Ranked matches. Maybe a seperate leaderboard for each. Other than that the game is PERFECT.

I'm sure it includes free
I'm sure it includes free ones, because other XBLA top sold lists included Bankshot Billiards up pretty high, and I'm certain that the poorly reviewed $15 billiards game didn't sell THAT well.

I have always wanted to play Bankshot Billiards... but I have never wanted to spend $15.

Next time you need to renew

Next time you need to renew your Live subscription, just buy a full starter kit. It comes with a coupon for $20 off a retail game which balances it out to about the same price as a year of live alone. Plus you get BB and at least 100 ms points.

I usually pick up a 12 (or 13) month card for <$35, but I think I may have to do that.

I just looked on Amazon and Joust is included now. They must have switched it. I'll have to go to a store and look and see if I can find an older version.

Bankshot is pretty good, and

Bankshot is pretty good, and it got what may well be the best auto update of any XBLA title with the addition of the 3D camera views. It certainly made the timed challenges easier.

I just realized that Hexic
I just realized that Hexic beat this game to the million mark by a year and a half. If you're including bundled sales, well, Hexic was bundled with every HDD.

i'm guessing they ignored

i'm guessing they ignored that since that's not a marketplace download... i really don't get why they don't have it available for free on there.
