So I downloaded the new Xbox Live update and wanted to take a look at the new Games on Demand feature. If you haven’t heard of Games on Demand then I’ll fill you in on it. Microsoft has finally introduced full downloable games to your Xbox 360 and it is about time. You can pay via credit card or some sort of code.

I noticed that there are some huge rip offs in the Games on Demand section so I thought I could point them out.

Battlefield: Bad Company – $20 on Xbox Live (XBL), but you can get the special Gold Edition new for the same price on Amazon.com.
BioShock (US only)/The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - $30 each on XBL, but you can get a combo pack in retail for just $40.
Call of Duty 2 – A surprising $30 on XBL. Not only is it old, you can find the used Game of the Year edition at Gamestop for $13.
Dance Dance Revolution Universe (US only) – Sure, it's only $30 on XBL, but doesn't come with the dance pad. If this is the first DDR game you buy, you can't actually play it!
Kameo: Elements of Power – $20 on XBL, but $14 new on Amazon.com.
Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore (US only) - For $30 on XBL you can buy the game but not the mic.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga - $30 on XBL, only $20 new on Amazon.com.
MX vs. ATV Untamed - $30 on XBL, but $20 new at Gamestop
Perfect Dark Zero – Only $20 on XBL, but you can get it for $14 on Amazon.com.
Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis – $30 on XBL, but retails for $20 in stores.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas – $30 on XBL, but retails for $20 in stores.
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - $30 on XBL, but retails for $20 in stores.
