It has been confirmed that the Halo CE download on live arcade will not have xbox live capability or achievements. So why is bungie doing this? No one's going to buy it.

Unless they don't own a hard copy of the first game? Hmm? There's quite a number of people who never bought a copy of Halo before.

So? It's cheaper to buy a used disc of halo than download this.

It's faster and more convenient to download it. Some people may also like the ability to load it off their 360, rather than having to use a disc. It's probably worth it to some people.

To most people it's not.

That's certainly the case with the people in this forum, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people bought it. This may be out of ignorance, but it'll probably still happen. I'm sure it will still be profitable. It requires almost no effort on the part of Microsoft and Bungie.
