Amazon has got you covered on the cheap XBLA game front

As many of you know, Amazon recently began selling Xbox LIVE Arcade games, which allows for gifting codes and is a decent enough solution for that issue (for the time being). Nothing new, right?

Well, here’s where it gets fun: the retailer has started to sell some XBLA games at a discount. At the time of this writing, Doom is down to $2.97, Pac-Man C.E. is $4.97, and Undertow is on sale for $5.00. Sure, it’s nothing massive, but saving a few bucks here and there sounds damn fine to me.

For the sake of convenience, just check up on the Amazon Xbox LIVE store every once in a while. Chances are, if a game is being sold for less than Microsoft is charging on the Marketplace, the game will be in the Bestsellers list.
