    UNO party!

    One of the things that makes digital distribution so attractive to game publishers is gives them greater control over the value of their products. With no opportunity for a second-hand market, if they say something is $10, guess what, it's $10. I kind of feel like it's cheating at capitalism, but it makes a whole lot of sense, and ultimately it's a practice that just makes me cherish opportunities to get digitally distributed content on the cheap that much more.

    Finding Xbox Live Marketplace points cards below retail is the purest way I've done it, but I'm not above game-specific deals as well, although today's deal, brought to my attention by the often-excellent CapcomUnity blog, is more altruistic than most. For today only, you can buy a download code for the Xbox Live Arcade versions of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, UNO, and Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting on Amazon, and receive a second code for the game you purchased to give to a friend. My understanding is that this is a less-than-great version of Hyper Fighting, but I'm happy to fully endorse both Puzzle Fighter and UNO. The HD Remix aspect of Puzzle Fighter's a little half-ass, but as a puzzle game it's still extremely solid. And UNO, well, that's basically one of the best things you can use Xbox Live for.

    I already own SFII, which kind of sours the deal.  Might buy Uno, though.

    That's a sweet deal. Shame neither me nor anyone else I know still has a 360. However, if I did still have a 360 I would totally be taking advantage of this sweet and totally awesome deal.

    Well, I already have these besides Hyper Fighting and I have no urge to get that so, "no thank you." I am sure someone can get a good deal of this though.

    I'm glad the PSN has the luxury of handing out four other copies to friends for the majority of titles, but it's good more hot gamin' love goes around in one way or another.

    Here's a secret of the trade:

    Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting is my favorite version of Street Fighter II. I love Super SFII and all, but I grew up on Hyper Fighting, and that's what I'm sticking to.

    Besides, I already have SSFIIHD Remix for my PS3, and I'm jonesing for more achievement points.

    I guess if a buddy of mine wanted to split the cost of the first game and then we could each get it for half price that might work...but I'm not super interested in any of those game anyway, besides Uno which I own already.

    Here's an idea, buy a game and give the code to TWO of your friends. Whoever enters the code first gets the game!!!

    Don't bother with Hyper Fighting. Pretty useless now since HD Remix is out.
