Delisted XBLA games not entirely delisted

After hearing about Microsoft's controversial move to "delist" certain underperforming XBLA games, we questioned whether or not these delisted games would be available for re-download to those who already purchased them. And, according to the Gamerscore Blog crew, the answer is yes. In other words, if you purchase a delisted XBLA game before it gets delisted and for whatever reason it gets deleted from your HDD, you'll ALWAYS be able to re-download it from your download history.

This news will of course beg the question why a need for delisting if the games will still be on Microsoft servers for previous purchasers to re-download. The answer to that is ... erm, we dunno. Just be happy your craptacular delisted XBLA game purchase didn't go to waste.
