Eidos announced today that Tomb Raider Anniversary will be released on Xbox Live via episodic content. The pack of 4 episodes, along with the Croft Manor, will cost 2400 points. A version of Tomb Raider Legend will be required to play the game, but a full retail version will also be available a bit later. First screens inside.

But another source states that -

"Tomb Raider Legend owners will have to pay 2400 Microsoft points (GBP 20.40 / EUR 27.91 / USD 29.99) for all four episodes." - Eurogamer.net. Similar stories at <854c>http://www.pro-g.co.uk,854c> http://www.gamesindustry.biz/
Where as here it states that 2 episodes will be 2400, all other sources state that all 4 episodes will be 2400 together.
Weird way to distribute the game.
Now that's about half the price of a full version game here in Switzerland...
- but without a possibility to share the game with friends...
- and without additional achievement-points (or at least not 500 points)?
And it will have the same framerate-problems as TR:Legend had in 1080i.
I really enjoyed TR:Legend, but i will not buy additional content for that game for this price.

@ rezehnder: Of course it won't lag, this isn't TB:L quality, so the 360 shouldn't struggle with this.
[edit] Oh wait, you need the TB:L disc to play this.. well, if it only uses the texture files.
(btw, 1080i is worse than 720p.. okay okay.. in my opinion)
I was expecting 4800 or something :)

In my opinion TB:L is one of the games that looks far better in 1080i then in 720p (on my TV) and so i had to live with the framerate problems.
There was never a patch for TB:L to fix that problem, so I just hoped they would have fixed it for TB:Anniversary... but I guess that's not the case.
So on one hand; 50% of a full price game is cheap...
on the other hand; it's not worth it for me without the corresponding amount of achievement points. ;)

But yeah, Legend didn't run that well in 720p. It wasn't too bad, but I wouldn't call it "really smooth".
if you liked the original (1996) - get it!
this is a tomb raider like it should be - you know, like, raiding tombs and stuff ^_^
I bought it on PS2 and PC
and I will bought it on Wii and 360 ^______________^
This is the best Tomb Raider game!
