You would think that if any game was also suitable for Xbox 360 - this would be it...
I don't get why it's only coming out for One - it's not exactly a system seller, so MS would be better off to get it in the hands of as many gamers as possible...

Do we know how much this will cost on the Xbone store? This seems to be a game that I would prefer as a digital purchase, but not if it is £££s more than the disc price.

I believer the RRP is £24.99, so I'd expect it to be priced as such on the store.

I think they'd struggle to get all that content on to one 360 disc. A multi disc release would be possible, but kind of goes against the point of having a ready to play library of titles.
360 is dead anyway, people need to get used to the fact that titles are going to quickly be drying up and move on.

Cheers . Amazon are selling it for £17.99 and so I will probably buy the disc version.

The 360 games in the collection are not on the disc (they are added to your download queue) and so there is no technical reason they wouldn't be able to release this on a 360 disc as well. I agree though that the 360 is now pretty much dead and it would be a waste of effort for them to port all the games over to 360.

It's still a lot of games and additional content. I'd be surprised if the whole package comes in at less than 8GB.

I didn't know it downloads the 360 games. I thought that they were on disc for some reason.
Doesn't really matter anyway.

I think i'll be installing the bigger games selectively and one at a time - I don't expect Viva Pinata or Perfect Dark Zero to stick around long, for example.

I'll probably only ever play Perfect Dark 64, Jet Force Gemini, Kazzoie, Tooie and Conker. PD64 is already installed so I'll jump into Conker when it arrives.

Do we know yet if PD64 and the 2 N64 Banjo games will be the XBLA versions? Do we know if the rest of the N64 games will get the same treatment?

I think PD64 and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie will be XBLA versions, when rest of games are ports of N64 games.

There's a nice article that I stumbled across that details what is missing (and why) from this collection.

It's the 360 games that are causing the problem. You can choose not to install them if you are low on hard drive space.

Obviously RC Pro AM's ultra resolution texture pack and FMV sequences.
And some of those games are isometric. Isometric.

Yes, they're the 360 versions. All the games that have previously been released on 360 are exactly the same games, and your save data will also carry over if you've already played it. You won't be able to unlock the achievements again, they're the same list.
•Kameo: Elements of Power
•Perfect Dark Zero
•Viva Piñata
•Jetpac Refuelled
•Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
•Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise
•Banjo-Kazooie
•Banjo-Tooie
•Perfect Dark

Nice, i hope Conker and JFG get a decent upgrade though.

I was looking forward to this but JFG has not aged well... Think I'll give it a miss unless I'm missing some classics that are actually good...
