Surely you saw the post on this yesterday, but just in case you didn’t or should you need reminded – Dead Space and DiRT hit Microsoft’s Games on Demand service today for Xbox 360.

Granted, you can probably find the games cheaper than the £19.99/$29.99 price tags, but maybe you’re just lazy and don’t wanna drive to the shops, or maybe you are under house arrest with an ankle bracelet that shocks you when you step out the door.

Whatever your situation, both are at your disposal should the need strike you.

Nelson’s confirmed that Army of Two, Midnight Club: LA and Sonic Unleashed have all been added to 360′s Games on Demand service.

Grand Theft Auto IV is now available for download on 360, as you can see here.

The Games on Demand version of Rockstar’s opus will set you back a mere £20 and 7Gb. Bargain.

If you don’t own it already, now there’s no excuse. Get to it.

There’s no pricing through there as it varies by region. Looks as though you can’t get C&C3 in the US, for some reason. Take that, Americans.

Microsoft has added BioShock and Civilization Revolution to its Games on Demand Service for Xbox 360.

Microsoft has added the ability to preview and purchase Avatar Marketplace items and add Games on Demand to your Xbox 360 download queue via your PC.

There’s more over on the Major.

Why has Microsoft Australia priced Mass Effect 6,000 MSP? Kotaku asked. Here’s the response:

No one retailer has the lowest pricing for every product, and our program is about giving people 24 x 7 convenience and selection when shopping for Xbox 360 games.

We’re incredibly excited about what Games on Demand means for digital distribution, and will continue to evaluate and evolve the service to meet market and consumer demands.

And there you have it. You can be thankful you’re paying $100 for an old RPG, Australians. At least you don’t have to leave the house.

Plucky Gowans007 over at NeoGAF‘s only gone and rounded up prices for every single Games on Demand title by region. It’s an enlightening read.

Apparently, buying Mass Effect by download in Australia costs 6,000 MSP. That AUS$99, or £51.

Hit the link for the full thing. It’s quite mental. By that, we mean “really expensive”.

Thanks, Kotaku.
