    “Upgrading” retail disks to on-demand games?


    I admit it. I have done a terrible mistake and bought retail disks. They take up space, is a hassle to swap out, and are generally in the way.

    How can I upgrade my physical disks to on-demand games? Do I have to pay the full retail price?

    :)

    Jeopardy not on marketplace?

    Jeopardy is only available as a retail disk. You can buy the retail disk at any major retailer for $29.99. The demo and DLC is the only thing offered in the marketplace on the Xbox, there is no game on demand version available.

    History repeating itself?

    The only game I ever bought more than once was The Witcher 2. I had the retail version. But my dog bumped my 360 while I was playing it and the disk was destroyed. I was at a good part in the game and wanted to keep playing, so I just bought the games on
    demand version.

    “Upgrading” retail disks to on-demand games?

    Yes, you would have to pay for the digital version. It would actually use the same installation file, so all it would download is essentially a licence, but as it is still another copy of the game you would still need to pay for the game.

    Forza Horizon disk read error for a games on demand version.

    It's not the disk version it's the Games on Demand version of the game. That's the problem I get the disk error with no disk in my Xbox. I'm using the Games on Demand version of the game and no one has any fixes for it, so I just wasted $60.
