So I read the story about how arcade titles may be removed from Xbox
Live! This raises a question in my mind, what happens if say Track &
Field, which one of the titles that could be effected, gets deleted
from Live! How do I as someone who has paid for the game download it
again if I delete it from my HDD?

Will there be a new section of deleted games added to Arcade that will
only be available to those who already own the games? I haven't read
anything about this yet, but it's a bit worrying if games are
potentially already disappearing before the console is even superseded.
I will be very annoyed if I find I can no longer obtain games I've paid
for before the consoles life is over.
Apparently if you have it and paid for it you will be able to get it
again:

before the whinging carries on....

What whinging? I only asked a question because in the article I read it
didn't say anything about what would happen if you already owned the game.

You posted a reply to yourself, answering the question twice which wasn't
needed. I understood the first time thanks. I'm not sure what's got you so
worked up recently, you've had quite an aggressive attitude in some of
your posts lately. Ironic really because you are always the first to
complain about people being impatient with you.

whinge whinge blah blah balh..oh how very rude...get a grip...

and you wonder why posters on the group think you're a bit of a knob?
