Disc-only as in not available on GoD yet, or that they were simply released in physical format to begin with (so no XBLA titles)? Assuming the latter:

JP:
Raiden Fighters Aces
Raiden 4
Bullet Soul
Shooting Love 200X
Mamoru-kun wa Norowareteshimatta
Eschatos
DeathSmiles
DeathSmiles II X
Ketsui: Kizuna Jigokutachi Extra
Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label Extra
Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu ver 1.5
Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label Package Edition
ESPGaluda II Black Label
Mushihime-sama Futari ver 1.5
Akai Katana Shin
Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets
Strike Witches: Hakugin No Tsubasa
Otomedius Gorgeous
Otomedius Excellent
Radirgy NOAH Massive
Shikigami No Shiro III

US:
DeathSmiles
Raiden Fighters Aces
Raiden 4
Otomedius Excellent

EU:
DeathSmiles
Dodonpachi Resurrection


Upcoming scheduled releases:
JP:
Mushihime-sama HD
Under Defeat HD

US:
Akai Katana

EU:
Akai Katana
Raiden Fighters Aces (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys)


NB: The above lists are for dedicated shmup releases... I'm sure someone else can fill in the missing collection releases. Hopefully I didn't miss anything (I didn't include SnR or SnR DUO).

Can anyone tell me the best way to get the PAL-only DLC for DDP Resurrection? I'm in North America. I saw somewhere I could just link my PayPal account to a UK XBL account, but it's not working.

I asked this same question back when it was released and someone linked me to a site to buy EU points an it worked like a charm. I'll dig through my email to see if I can find it...

EDIT: Found it! http://www.pointheaven.com/ I used this place myself and it was awesome. Had points in my inbox in minutes.

Sorry to bump this thread, but just so other people are aware, I just tried to use the above site and he says that he no longer can accept orders from people outside of Denmark (citing unspecified concerns about getting in trouble for it). Don't know if you're exempt from that rule if you're a returning customer, but I wasn't able to complete my purchase in any case.

For my case, I have a friend in the UK who can buy a point card for me, so I'll be OK regardless.

You can also link a PayPal account to get the Euro DLC. I did it without any problems.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.
