Microsoft has been very vague in what each title will cost but, has said it will range between $20 - $30. Your not only paying for the games, you are also paying for the "convenience" factor as well.
What I mean is some games will list for $29.99 to purchase, yet you can go to your local gaming store (ie. GameStop) and buy a physical copy for $19.99. So before you buy the digital version, it may be worth your time to check pricing at your local store(s), as it could definitely be cheaper.
