Over a hundred Xbox Originals on Live by the end of 2008?

Is 2008 the year of the original Xbox? Surfer Girl claims over 100 Xbox titles will be sold as Xbox Originals next year. Rumor or not, it is feasible for Microsoft and other publishers to dust off their old games and digitally distribute them. However, there are only a handful of titles that are worthy of the 1200 Microsoft Point ($15) price tag. Plenty of the games on Surfer Girl’s proposed list can be obtained at a retail store at much lower price if you are willing to accept a used copy. There are a few hard to find games like Conker: Live & Reloaded and Panzer Dragoon Orta on the list though. The most interesting item on her list is Rent-A-Hero No.1 since it was only released in Japan regardless of a complete English translation. Now that’s something I’ll spend my money on to try out!
