Getting to know the New Xbox Experience: XBL Marketplace on your PC photo

As always, Gamerscoreblog unravels more of the New Xbox Experience mystery, with this week's update focusing on a feature that's been on my personal wish list for a long time: being able to browse the Xbox LIVE Marketplace from a computer.

When the Xbox 360 update hits on November 19, Xbox.com will have a fully-functioning version of the Marketplace that allows you to view, download, and even purchase content by putting the items in your queue.

From there, the second you fire up your console, all of the items in your queue will begin downloading. However, the real draw here is that you can use a text search to find digital content, which is something the Xbox 360 currently won't let you do.

Great, I needed another way to waste money on my 360.

What's cool is if you leave your 360 on while you go to work, you can set up the queue, and it will be ready for you right when you get home.

Oh, that's actually pretty awesome! It's about time Xbox.com got a real update.

Nice, but I think most of my purchases will still be done on the 360.

This works for me. I can load up a queue and download away :)

It could be good for easier navigation.

By the way, Bungie did it first. Their files share system allowed you to queue downloads from their website.
