as for Virtua Fighter 5:
you are better off waiting for Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown this summer via XBLA (or PSN or Vita)

games on Demand are not priced fairly, they are priced not to piss off the retailers by undercutting them. The worst territory is Australia where there extortionate pricing is mated by games on demand.

GoD/PSN retail games should be compared to new game prices IMO. In this case sometimes they match what I find at Gamestop's website, sometimes they are overpriced.

I know when Vesperia was released on GoD, even a used copy at Gamestop was more expensive. You never really see this happen though.

sometimes the digital convenience is worth it. do you really need affirmation from gaf on this point?

 

[themadcowtipper]

Where can I find Psychonauts? I went snooping around XBL one day and couldn't find it anywhere...

I Bought it before they removed it. If you already own it you can download it by going to download history.

 

[Curufinwe]

wait, are you actually saying that installing spyware on a PC just to get a game to work is a benefit?

You don't know what spyware is.

The removed it?! WTF!

I was wondering if they actually ever did that. I better scoop up Deathsmiles II before it's too late...

Love the fact rockband 3 is on there. No more grabbing a disc to put in. Just fire up the game from the dash well worth $20 to me. That and my RB3 middle ring of the disc is getting messed up from taking it out of the case all the time lol.

 

[GodfatherX]

i got halo reach for $15 with a download code i bought from a 3rd party seller, traded in my disc copy for $20, i sold my copy of borderlands GotY so i could buy all the dlc (at 50% off) and play it from my hdd, these are both games that i jump into randomly between playing campaigns in other games.

OK, I dusted off my 360 and Deathsmiles is downloading right now (only Deathsmiles on the marketplace here, no DS 2). I hope you guys are right and it's that good.

Also, who doesn't buy Vanquish and Bayonetta for 19,99 deserves to die in a fire. Doesn't matter if you find them cheaper elsewhere. These games are to good to pay less for them.

 

[Correctomundo]

EDF 2017 is worth it at $20. You can find it cheaper used, so that just tells you how much of a steal it is if you find it.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Or they have discounts all the time, like they actually do, like I just said.

I'm pretty ignorant of xbox live now, but each sale which has been alerted to me was pretty awful, and I think you had to pay for the privilege for most of them.

Lawl. Guess me buying new retail copies of Vanquish for 5 dollars and Bayonetta for 14 is gonna make me crispy, rite?

Grats for the pick. It just makes me a little sad, that one of the best games of recent years bombed so hard, that it gets sold fo 5 bucks. It's just shows what small numbers this beast of a game sold

 

[Gaspode_T]

There are actually some games that are fairly 'rare' I wish they would release to Games on Demand - the Pinball Hall of Fame game is one of them, it probably had the minimum print run and that's it so you are not likely to ever find it randomly at a store, I don't think Amazon even has it (or it didn't when I tried to buy it there).

Some other relatively obscure games can get a second life on Games on Demand, Mini Ninjas, JRPGs, 2D fighting games, 2D shooters, etc. They should lower the price of the Raiden games though

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is worth any price.

I never was a big fan of digital service until now.

If I could I would love to trade all my PS3 and 360 games discs for a digital download, much easier to have all the games on the HDD and more space in my room. I only saw how much better is digital gaming is for me when I realized I was collecting paper and plastic cases. I also buy new, and I decided to wait for price drops. Much better than buying at high price then selling them at low price.

At the start of this year I began to collecting games but that end up quick because I did not see the point. The exception are games in a steelcase/tin. They really are pretty, or, like the Uncharted 3 "book/diary" case.

I also would like to add that full games are always more cheap on PS3 than on GoD 360 here (DIRT3 and Alice comes to mind)

For the OP:

Bayonetta, Tales of Vesperia, RE4 HD and the Bioshock series get my vote.

Double fine acquired the publishing rights or whatever, so it should come back eventually.
