Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox 360 Classics are the real deal and the first wave of four games will be released on October 13th. The first wave of games are as follows: Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo: Elements of Power, Condemned: Criminal Origin’s and Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie.

“The Xbox 360 Classics program allows new gamers to always have access to the greatest games at a great price,” said EMEA director of marketing and platform Richard Teversham. “Xbox 360 will have a ten million unit head start by the end of 2006, and there will be plenty of new console owners eager to jump in to the best-selling Xbox 360 games. Not only does the Xbox 360 Classics program offer games at a great value, it ensures that the platform’s best games are available to new customers. When a title becomes an Xbox 360 Classics game, it doesn’t go out of print, so gamers who pick up an Xbox 360 can try the greatest games at an amazing price. And if you missed playing a game the first time around, now is a great reason to pick it up.”

And there’s more to come: Expect a second wave to be released in Spring 2007. Each title in the Classics line will be priced at a reasonable GBP 24.99.
