As if you couldn’t go out and buy one of the best anime films ever on DVD for super cheap, Akira and many other titles have dropped onto the Xbox Live Marketplace for download.

The marketplace section allows you to purchase other types of media for download onto your Xbox 360 Console. The video’s section has been going since November last year and is quite a successful part of the system for Microsoft.

Although the system isn’t available here in the UK I think it is still a bit of a waste of your hard earned micro transaction moneys, perhaps you might like to buy some horse armor instead?

List of new titles available after the break.
