10 Million Marketplace Downloads for Xbox Live
Xbox 360 owners certainly know how to make use of their Xbox Live Marketplace. Microsoft announced that over 10 million downloads have occurred from the Marketplace, and said forthcoming downloads include new cars and achievements for Project Gotham Racing 3.
Microsoft says the 10 mil was reached in a quicker time than Apple’s iTunes music store, and is due to more than 85% of all Xbox 360’s connected via Xbox Live having downloaded at least one piece of content since launch last November. These items include themes and picture packs, game demos, film trailers or full Live Arcade titles.
Also, Microsoft hyped new Xbox Live Arcade titles coming soon, including a full free version of Texas Hold ‘Em Poker by Riverbelle casino, the card game Uno, and Capcom’s arcade classic Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting.
Three of Microsoft’s launch titles also have new content set to be available for download, with new cars and achievements promised for Project Gotham Racing 3, Perfect Dark Zero will get new multiplayer maps, and Kameo: Elements of Power will receive new online co-operative gameplay options and costumes for the characters.
