    Talking XBOX Live Arcade games for sale at Amazon.com

    I for one think this is a great idea. Codes are sent to customers after purchase, and can even be gifted to others! They have a lot of games up already, but not all.

    Note, they already have Galaga Legions on sale that isn't on sale on the XBLA Marketplace. It's 800pts online, only $4.97 on Amazon. If they keep this up, Amazon may be getting a lot of my money!

    Discuss what you think of this alternative to buying online games.

    Awesome, if the prices stay low I might finally buy something on the Arcade.

    About Galaga Legions, what is the best scrolling shooter on XBox Arcade? The free Aegis Wing felt terrible to me.

    Ikargua is my favorite XBLA shooter. Omega 5 and Triggerheart Exelica are good too. I haven't played R-Type Dimensions yet but that looks like it could be worth buying if Amazon ever cuts the price (1200pts).

    I also didn't realize you can buy Live points from Amazon. That's a good idea, as for some crazy reason I've never understood, I pay tax on points when I buy them online through MS.

    And the codes are useless outside the US, of course.
    Sigh.

    You could make a silver US account and download them with that account. Then you can play them with your Canadian account.

    I loved the Triggerheart demo so it's nice to know the full game is good, maybe I'll get that eventually.

    I played Ikaruga on GC too much but I'll check out the demo of R-Type and Omega 5.
