As well as their new game "rage" being announced at QuakeCon, all (I think) of id's back catalogues has been released on steam.
You can get Quake for $9.99, and the whole catalogue for $24.99.
That seems pretty good to me, 'cept you gotta have steam installed, which people seem to hate and lvoe in equale-ish measure.
I dont know if they're mod compatible, no reason to think they wouldn't be.
Seems good value to me.
Linky:
Oh and Quake Arena is coming to Xbox Live Arcade. I'm guessing it's Quake 3, but I've not read enough to be sure yet.

If the purchase then involves Steam to play, it is not a good deal.
Since it involves using Steam in the first place, and the fact that you are buying Quake from Valve, a company who built its thieving empire upon Quake's throne and popularity, than it is merely ironic, sad, and a kick in the nuts.

My in-dept review of 20 years development from id Software:
Dangerous Dave (1988) - meh
Commander Keen (1990 - 1991) - meh
Rescue Rover 1 & 2 (1991) -huh?
Shadow Knights (1991) -never heard of it
Hovertank 3D (1991)-erm...
Catacomb 3D: A New Dimension (1991) -bleh
Wolfenstein 3D (1992) -a couple of bonus points for nazism. Now worthless.
Spear of Destiny (1992) -cash in
Doom (1993) -addictive and advanced for the time. However, essentially mindless with no modern entertainment value.
The Ultimate Doom (1995) -cash in
Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994) -popular sequel
Master Levels for Doom II (1995) -cash in
Final Doom (1996) -cash in
Quake (1996) -cool after people got PC's powerful enough to run it. In my case about 2 years later.
Quake II (1997) - robots? wtf? okay I suppose.
Quake III Arena (1999) -not even remotely connected to Quake. Lame attempt to sell an engine.
Expansion: Team Arena (2000) -whatever
Doom 3 (2004) -dark, predictable, shiny. Doom tie-in designed to sell yet another Carmac engine. [/i]
Rage (2008) -I couldn't give a monkeys.
I would say however games that have been Published / Produced by id Software have been on the whole very good. Games developed by Gray Matter Interactive, Raven Software, Splash Damage & Ritual Entertainment for id Software have been excellent.
That is all.
