It’s a brand new day for your Avatar, because now the little gal or fella has a Marketplace of his or her own. Your Avatar’s one-stop-shop for threads and more will launch with a growing collection from the top names in fashion and gaming:

• Top Brands: Adidas, Quiksilver, Roxy, tokidoki
• Unique Fashions: Steampunk, Recessionista
• Clothing from your Favourite Games: “BioShock 2,” “Halo 3,” “Halo 3: ODST,” “Gears of War 2,” “Fable II,” “The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition,” “Splinter Cell Conviction,” “Star Wars Clone The Wars: Republic Heroes”

Whether you’re an athlete, an artist or an all-out gaming fanatic, you can express your (and your Avatar’s) online personality like never before. You can also earn special Avatar clothes and items just by playing your favourite games, starting with a hot logo t-shirt from “Splosion Man,” the hit Xbox LIVE Arcade title that kicked-off the 2nd annual Winter of Arcade.

Games on Demand - Download full Xbox 360 games

A landmark for gamers is the introduction of a brand new way to access and play your Xbox 360 games: Games on Demand. Launching worldwide with a library of great titles, Games on Demand marks the introduction of digitally distributed full Xbox 360 games: the titles you want, whenever you want them, straight to your Xbox 360 at the push of a button. You’ll also have the option to easily purchase Games on Demand titles directly via credit card or using Microsoft Points.

From Platinum Hits titles like “Mass Effect,” “BioShock” and “Call of Duty 2” to family favourites like “Viva Pinata” Games on Demand gives you access to a growing catalogue of full Xbox 360 titles. You can browse and download 24/7 from the comfort of your couch, and new titles will be released every week. Your purchase history is always saved, so you can delete titles if needed and re-download titles at any time.
