Xbox Live Marketplace Schedule Dates Cheap Battlefield 1943, New Games On Demand

Your Xbox Live Arcade and Games on Demand budgeting for February can begin, thanks to Microsoft’s schedule for the month’s new digital releases and deals, including a more affordable version of Battlefield 1943 for Xbox Live Arcade.

A handful of new games are also planned for “on demand” releases, including Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, and Beautiful Katamari plus Halo Wars and Viva Piñata: Party Animals for our international friends. There are even Resident Evil 5 Xbox Avatar goodies coming, which I pray means an Avatar version of Chris Redfield’s new post-apocalyptic leather daddy outfit.
