Major Nelson has dropped a January release schedule for the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, for all those obsessive compulsive people who like to plan everything in advance.

• Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week
  • 18 January - Mass Effect's Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station (240 MS Points)
  • 18 January - Hasbro Family Game Night: Battleship (400 MS Points)
  • 25 January - Portal: Still Alive (800 MS Points)
• Xbox LIVE Games on Demand
  • 12 January - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

  • 20 January - Death by Cube (800 MS Points)
• Xbox Avatars Marketplace
  • 14 January - Burton gear and Darksiders outfits

From today, the following Games on Demand are now available for a lower price:

• BioShock
• Saints Row
• MX vs. ATV Untamed

Not that we get Games on Demand without mucking about with VPNs or anything, but that Mass Effect DLC is arriving just in time for boosting save game profiles before the sequel hits. Nice.
