RE5, Beautiful Katamari hit Games on Demand

by Richard Mitchell on Feb 16th 2010 4:00PM

As promised, both Resident Evil 5 and Beautiful Katamari are now available via Xbox Live Games on Demand. Resident Evil 5 is available everywhere except Korea, while Beautiful Katamari is available everywhere except India. The North American price for Resident Evil 5 is $29.99, with Beautiful Katamari going for $19.99. As usual, prices vary by region, so be sure to check your local details before plunking down the e-money.

It's worth pointing out that this week also marks the release of the Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition DLC. In other words, you could actually own the entirety of the Gold Edition in a purely digital format (you know, if that's your thing). Strangely absent from Marketplace are the promised Resident Evil Avatar items, though we imagine those will be coming along shortly. Unless they're zombie outfits, in which case it may be a while before they shamble online.

Well, that's nice. But I think I'll wait for RE5: Gold Edition instead. Mass Effect 2 has already taken it's share of real estate on my HDD anyhow. But 'Katamari should be priced at $10.00 by this point.

Seriously, if 'Katamari priced itself to compete with XBLA titles, the sales in volume would more than make up for what might have been lost at retail. Even I'd have to consider it then!

Regardless, all of these Games on Demand releases are counter-intuitive when Microsoft refuses to offer larger HDD's. But these options are good.

For the first time an Xbox Game on Demand game is cheaper then retail!? Shock! I have not seen this game in retail for some time now and I think it might be out of print.
