Superfly beat-em-up Street Fighter IV has joined the Xbox Marketplace library of Games on Demand.
That means you can download it directly to your Xbox 360. The game is priced at £19.99.
Our US counterparts have a different addition to the library this week in the shape of Fallout 3. There's no word on when, or indeed whether, the game will also make it to the European Marketplace.
Still, Street Fighter IV should keep you going - we're big fans here at Eurogamer, with the game scoring 10/10 in our review.

Ubisoft overlord Yves Guillemot wants his company to turn out Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed games "more often".
"This is a long-term vision," Max Beland, creative director at Ubisoft Montreal, told Edge Online. "I'm not telling you that in a year you'll have another Splinter Cell. Right now the direction Yves gave us and where the company is going is, at one point, if the direction doesn't change, yes you're going to be seeing Splinter Cell games - just like Assassin's Creed games, just like anything else - released a little bit more often."
The upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction may be an Xbox 360 (and PC) exclusive, but Beland says Microsoft has no such control over the rest of the series. Not yet.
"I'm not involved in the business deals. I joined Splinter Cell after the exclusivity deal with Microsoft had already been signed, but there's no reason why Splinter Cell couldn't be on the PS3," he said. "Conviction? No because of the exclusivity deal. I know people keep talking about maybe, maybe not, [but] at Ubisoft Montreal I haven't seen anyone working on PS3 for Conviction.
"[The next game] is open to new deals," he added. "If Microsoft wants an exclusivity deal, they don't call me, it's Yves dealing with the business people. But yeah, I guess we could even be a PS3 exclusive if there's a deal that makes people happy there."
Whether Sony would stump up the cash for it is another matter, of course.
Splinter Cell: Conviction will be released on 16th April on PC and Xbox 360.

Rare's opening a new office in Birmingham to help bring Project Natal up to scratch for an autumn 2010 release.
Rare's rural Twycross studio will remain the "creative hub", but this urban Fazeley location will provide crucial extra testing space and flexible access to top creative talent and a variety of testers.
"First of all, because of the nature of Natal - and it would have been exactly the same with the Wii - to test it properly you need a larger physical space than you had before," Rare boss Mark Betteridge explained to GamesIndustry.biz.*
"But also with Natal, we believe test is extremely important to get the balance and the content of the game right - because a lot of the people that Microsoft will be appealing to with this technology won't be traditional games players, and we need to test with a wide range of people, different ages, demographics, and so on.
"I don't mean testing in the sense of does the game crash, or is the artwork correct," he added, "I mean proper user testing. Also with Natal there'll be a huge variety in the set-ups that people will have in their homes, so it's very important that we optimise any title to work in any of them."
If you live around the Fazeley area, look out for a call to arms; Betteridge says the studio will probably ask people to come in for a couple of hours at a time.

We've been teasing our interview with Co-founder and former CEO of DICE, Fredrik Liliegren, in sections, but before we drop the entire thing, we thought it'd be just to highlight Liliegren's thoughts on Mirror's Edge.
While Mirror's Edge was received fairly well by reviewers, the game didn't catch on with gamers all that much. Here's how our questions went:
Gaming Union: What do you think of DICE's choice to make Mirror's Edge, and now that they're developing a sequel?
Liliegren: Knowing that that product was in development for about seven years.. [laughs] and given that it wasn't Mirror's Edge when we started, but it was one team working on 'the new IP' for seven years, I think they did a strong final. They did something different that people hadn't done before. I think it needed a second generation so they can tweak on it, I played it a little bit.
GU: Do you think it was a good idea for them to make that, compared to making more of what's already been successful for them?
Liliegren: I think they were given an opportunity, and that was stated throughout the seven years "to come up with something different," and I think that they did that. I think they achieved that goal. I think they learned a lot, and I think that they definitely got a lot of press out of it, [an] insane amount of press actually, given that they didn't really sell that well. So I think it raised DICE itself for a developer that thinks out of the box.
Incase you're wondering, Liliegren departed DICE when EA bought out the company. At the time Liliegren was managing DICE Canada, but when EA bought DICE, they decided to shut down that studio. Since then Liliegren formed another studio called Antic Entertainment, which we just so happened to do an interview about.

New special offer from Play Asia:
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past.
Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture.
You are the very first Big Daddy as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and your own survival.
Multiplayer in BioShock 2 provides a rich prequel experience that expands the award winning BioShock gameplay. Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject in the underwater city that was first explored in the original BioShock.
Players will need to use all the elements of the game’s toolset to survive as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.
The ticket to Rapture is available at an unbeatable price of US$ 33.33. (Yep, you got it right, thirty three dollars and thirty three cents) The Asian version of BioShock 2 supports English, French and Spanish and is wholly region free.

Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360 will outsell the PlayStation 3 version by 2:1.
That's according to findings from MyVoucherCodes, which claims its website has received more than 250,000 unique searches for Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360, compared to 120,000 searches for the game on the PS3 since February 1st this year.
"The Final Fantasy series has always been a huge draw for Sony, since its debut on the PlayStation in the form of Final Fantasy VII," says Mark Pearson, managing director of MyVoucherCodes.
"For Microsoft to now be sharing and in fact beating the interest for the PS3 version must be worrying Sony chiefs, who must be wondering just how to steal the march back, if it is at all possible. Our Christmas sales data showed that Xbox 360s were outselling PlayStation 3s three to one in the holiday period, a fact which seems to be presenting itself here as consumers show more interest in the Xbox 360 title."
Square is already confident that Final Fantasy XIII will sell well, so it won't be worrying too much about these findings, we shouldn't think. The question is, which version are you getting?

Discounts website says interest in Xbox 360 version is twice that of PS3
The Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII is on track to outsell the PS3 SKU by two-to-one – that’s the prediction of discount shopping portal MyVoucherCodes.co.uk.
The site comes to the conclusion based on the number of searches made on its server, with interest in the Xbox 360 title running at double the rate of its rival.
It also states that the sheer amount of enquiries about the game point to it being the most successful release of 2010 to date. In February alone over 250,000 searches were made for the Xbox 360 release and 120,000 for the PS3 disc.
“The Final Fantasy series has always been a huge draw for Sony, since its debut on the PlayStation in the form of Final Fantasy VII,” MyVoucherCodes MD Mark Pearson stated.
“For Microsoft to now be sharing and in fact beating the interest for the PS3 version must be worrying Sony chiefs, who must be wondering just how to steal the march back, if it is at all possible. Our Christmas sales data showed that Xbox 360s were outselling PS3s three-to-one in the holiday period, a fact which seems to be presenting itself here as consumers show more interest in the Xbox 360 title.”

For anyone wanting to transfer large files over a short distance without a local area network, having to do the USB stick shuffle is a huge pain. Load, unload, delete, repeat. Sure you could buy a higher capacity stick, but they're expensive and still have limitations. Infinitec is looking to bust through the memory barrier with its new USB streaming technology.
Rather than storing a handful of gigabytes on each stick, the Infinite USB Memory device (IUM) stores zero gigabytes. Instead, it creates an ad hoc wireless network between your laptop and whatever other USB enabled device you want to connect to. You can stream movies to your PS3 or Xbox 360, send images to your once non-wireless printer, or even transfer files between computers by making your whole hard-drive available on the network. Best of all, there are no drivers to install - aside from a one-time "pairing" process that installs the awesomely titled "Infinite Portal" onto your computer - and it works with all operating systems.
Of course, the fact that it's wireless means you can only transfer files within the IUM's range, so there will still be a use for regular old flash memory sticks. There's still no word on pricing or technical specs, but we'll keep an eye out.
