In case for some reason you didn't play the original Gears of War, or had traded it in and wanted to buy it again you can now do so without leaving the comfort of your abode. Major Nelson announced that Gears of War 1 is now available through Games on Demand for $19.99 in the US.

Download the manual for this game by locating the game on http://marketplace.xbox.com and selecting “See Game Manual". A Nightmare from Below. A Hero from Within. The planet lies in ruin - cities crumbling, Man’s greatest works fallen. Humanity is cornered, nowhere to run. The Locust Horde has risen, and they won’t stop coming. They won’t stop killing. The Coalition is desperate for soldiers. The sick, the wounded, the imprisoned are all that remain. An inmate named Marcus Fenix, once left to die, is now charged with keeping humanity alive. He can take comfort in but one fact: The human race isn’t extinct. Yet. Features - “Take cover and return fire!” with the intuitive one - button cover system to blind fire, evade, flank, and ultimately destroy the nightmarish Locust Horde.

20 bucks ain't bad, but I don't know if this is the edition with all the DLC.

The whole games on demand thing still totally loses out to retail stores, which is why I ignore it. Well that and the lack of HDD space.

But you can score this on Amazon for 18.50 and it comes with a second disc of goodies.

Thanks but I just picked it up used for 10 bucks. They need to drop the prices on these GoD. I would really rather purchase it new in either disk or download but they need to be competitive. If I can get it 1/2 price used, that is what i'm going to do.

Christmas arrived, and so did my terrabyte hard drive for PC; because the equivalent option was only a 120gb hdd for the xbox at the exact same price of £60.

Just doesn't cut it £ for GB, I've been able to install all of my games on the PC drive and yet I'd still be struggling for space if I did the same on the XBox.

Admitedly PS3 wins in the respect that you can shove any 2.5" HDD in the console and have it working. Microsoft, bad business choice bud. Else I'd be more inclined for these online only deals.
