    This is the biggest problem with digital-only gaming, I really don't mean to derail the thread but what's gonna happen when M$ have not just pulled these games from XBL...but the servers have been shut down. Good luck finding a copy of the game without piracy...

    Hello everyone

    I am still looking for these games and if anyone is interested please kept me know.

    Like I said, I would be happy to try and meet up with you and do the download in person. If someone is interested, please let me know and I will say where I live in a PM. I would be happy to pay for it.

    Or if done over the internet, I would be happy to give the seller access to my profile until the download is complete. He/she could download something from my profile in exchange.

    Or if by some chance someone has a digital code to download either or both, I would be happy to buy it/them. Please let me know.

    Anyways, thanks for listening and sorry for the trouble.

    Hello Gladiator5,

    I learned that a friend of mine in real life had them and allowed me to download them. It was surprising, but cool.

    So I did find them.

    Anyways, thanks for listening.

    *blinks* I would've started with people that I knew and made facebook/twitter queries and if nobody had it, THEN I would resort to asking to meet random people just to get games.

    (Warning: Off-topic rant follows.) This kind of thing is the norm now! With iOS7, if you enable iCloud, Apple with register your device under your Apple ID with their "Find my iPhone" service. (Yes, it's "Find my iPhone", even if you have an iPad, strange.) Say years go by and Apple goes under, or they stop supporting your current iPad/iOS combo. You reformat your iPad ("erase all conents etc") and, at the Welcome setup, you must now connect to Wi-Fi and enter your Apple ID to activate the device. Well, there's no server to connect to, so you're now stuck with a brick. You're locked out of your own hardware device!

    Hello everyone,

    BomberDino, I fear what you said may happen eventually. Not soon, but eventually and that is not good in my opinion.

    I prefer to buy all my games retail not digital. Digital has its perks, but as you said there are tons of downfalls. Ya, that would stink if you couldn't retrieve your I-Pad info from the server. I will be sure to make a back up with iTunes on a computer, a little safer.

    Also to VIRACY, I did ask all my friends in real life and/or checked to see if they had the games. But none of them did. I was going to see if I could ask someone online, but randomly when I was running some errands. I ran into a old acquaintance of mine and we got to chatting, catching up and I happen to mention my situation with these games. He had them and let me download them to my 360. Problem solved. Sorry I didn't answer sooner.

    But ya I would probably have done what you did if I happen encountered that acquaintance.

    Ya, digital gaming is not good. I will stick with retail always.

    Anyways, thank you everyone for listening and responding. I appreciate it. Please feel free to chat through this thread if you wish. Thanks again.
