Update: The game is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace in Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.

Microsoft have announced that GTA: San Andreas will be available to purchase on Xbox Live next week for 1200 Points. The disc version of the game is already compatible with Xbox 360 systems but the addition to the Xbox Originals lineup on Xbox Live marks the first time that a Grand Theft Auto title has been distributed digitally on a console.

Americans should mark their calendars for Monday but gamers elsewhere may face a longer wait as Microsoft is yet to confirm plans outside of North America. The game will cost $14.99 in real money.
