  Amazon Begins Selling Xbox LIVE Arcade Games! Online retailer Amazon has just launched the Xbox LIVE Section on their web site where you can purchase subscriptions, points cards, and for the first time ever, Xbox LIVE Arcade games.  Here is how it works: You will be able to get your Xbox LIVE online game code immediately after purchase. Enter your code through either your Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com and enjoy. You can also gift your online game code after purchase via e-mail. As you will see, you purchase the games based on a dollar value (versus Microsoft points).  This is actually a nice way to browse some of the Xbox LIVE Arcade catelog, as you can see user reviews/etc...  Looks like digital distribution is moving full speed ahead!

• Xbox LIVE Arcade Update for Feb. 4, 2009

  R-Type Dimensions is available for download starting today on Xbox LIVE Arcade.  This updated version has both arcade classics R-Type and R-Type II overhauled with new 3-D graphics, but offers the ability to switch back to the original 2-D mode. The game supports full co-op support locally and over Xbox LIVE as well, and will set you back 1200 Microsoft Points for the full game. Full Details: We love the 80’s this month with “R-Type Dimensions” on Xbox LIVE® Arcade …sans cheesy love songs and fashion mullets Despite releasing during an era characterized by unfortunate haircuts and glam rock, 80’s arcade game “R-Type” managed to define the shooter genre – which is why Xbox LIVE is bringing this classic to our own Arcade with “R-Type Dimensions” on February 4. Coin-op classics “R-Type” and “R-Type II” come together as “R-Type Dimensions,” with original 2D and new, fully-enhanced 3D graphics. The classic game play remains untouched, while the all-new “Infinite” game mode allows even novice pilots the chance to complete both games in either solo or co-op play via Xbox LIVE. Published by Microsoft and developed by Tozai Games and SouthEnd Interactive, “R-Type Dimensions” will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points worldwide on February 4.  The game is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.  For more details on “R-Type Dimensions” please visit: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/r/rtdimensionsxboxlivearcade/default.htm Posted Wednesday, February 04, 2009 7:15 AM from Cheap Xbox 360 - NEWS | 0 Comments Filed under: Microsoft News, Xbox Originals Deals, Xbox LIVE Marketplace Deals
