Virtua Fighter 5, FIFA Street 3 kick Games on Demand in the face

by Richard Mitchell { Sep 15th 2009 at 5:30PM }

Because both games involve flying feet, get it? Anyhway, Major Nelson has informed the masses that both Virtua Fighter 5 and FIFA Street 3 have landed on Xbox Live's Games on Demand service. As usual, both games are only available in certain regions. Virtua Fighter 5 is confined to Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, while FIFA Street 3 is available everywhere except Austria, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan. Also as usual, pricing varies by region, so check your local listings.

You may find yourself wondering just how companies decide which regions get their games. We're convinced that Microsoft has set up a giant Velcro map, next to which is kept a bucket of tennis balls. Granted, we have no proof to back up this theory, but we're almost positive it's the truth.

VF5 would be one of the games I'd consider buying digital only. Oh well, time to track the retail version.

This just makes you wonder when Sony is going to launch their full version of downloadable retail games.

They've shown they can do it, I wonder what's stopping them.
