X360 Downloadable Content

In anticipation of the next generation console launch, Microsoft today announced that more than 400 pieces of downloadable Xbox Live Marketplace content—including free interactive demos for games such as FIFA Football 06, Kameo: Elements of Power, Peter Jackson's King Kong, NBA LIVE 06 and Need for Speed Most Wanted. These demos will be available to Xbox 360 fans starting 2 December.

Freely accessible to anyone with a broadband connection, Xbox Live Marketplace is a digital download centre providing free and premium content for games, as well as entertainment content such as movie trailers and music videos.

Premium Xbox Live Marketplace content will be available for purchase with Microsoft Points. Microsoft Points is a new stored-value system that will let consumers purchase a number of points, and then redeem those points for content online, ranging from gamer pictures and themes to full game downloads on Xbox Live Arcade. Microsoft Points will be available for purchase at participating retail stores and via the Xbox Live Dashboard. In EMEA, consumers can purchase a card worth 2100 Points for an ERP of £17.50. Offers in the dashboard will range from 500 points and up.

On 2 December Xbox 360 users who connect their console to a broadband connection and create an Xbox Live membership, either the paid Gold membership or free Silver membership, can look forward to content such as:
