THe update is tomorrow it will bring:

Online access, anywhere. Optimized for speed, the store allows for ultra-fast downloads; this means fewer clicks to purchase and download, delivering faster turnaround for gameplay. And since the service lives on the Web, gamers can download games on a PC, anytime, and can easily redownload games they purchase if needed.

Deals and discounts galore. Gamers can check out screaming deals on select games every time they visit the Marketplace, as well as the Deal of The Week and other recurring and seasonal offers.

Game search functionality. Gamers can search by titles or genres to quickly find the games they want; they can even find new games from their favorite publishers with dedicated publisher pages.

Fresh design. The clean, intuitive look and feel makes browsing for games a simple, enjoyable experience. Gamers can easily navigate between pages as they search for the perfect game.

It'll also include an indie games section for anyone to make games for the system. It'll launch with over 100 games with frequent additions every week. Also according to this pic:

Age online will be released april 10 with theopen beta starting Dec 5th. Also There apears to be avatar support.

Cause Microsofts previous attempts of copying a superior service havent turned out very well. See: Zune.

If they have AoE2 completely compatible with Windows 7 then I'll check it out, but apart from that only Flight or AoE Online could bait me to their service, and that's only because it will be forced on me.

have you ever used a zune? I mean from my experience they may not be as popular but they are better than the Ipod. My Ipod crashes 1 out of every 10 times I use it. My frineds Ipod touch screen broke after a 3 foot fall onto a flat piece of wood. however my cousin abuses his zune treats it like untter trash (he hates zunes) and it still functions perfectly well. IDK but I think the zune wasn't a half bad attempt. however the kin (you should have refered to the kiin man) is trash. worst cellphone I had ever seen in a store (didn't dare buy it).

lucky, you got into the beta? oh well its only 3 weeks till it goes public. I like that it'll be free. I know you can't really talk about your experiences in the game but can you tell me if its deep or shallow and what you'd rate it?

The gameplay is a lot like previous age of empires games with a leveling system comparable to that of Modern Warfare. I'd say it's pretty deep.

No unless they remove connection to xbox live ( why do i have to have an xbox id is beyond me ), they fix small thinks that are annoying. For some stupid reason my GFWL client detected i live in Finland ( despite my regional settings are set on english and i live in Cyprus ) and there is no option to change the language ( really really stupid option not to have a language option because apart wrong detection what if someone migrate to a different country )

Yeah, I'm definitely downloading it. I'd imagine games like MS Flight are going to require it, so I'll be prepared.

well seeing as microsoft has made multiple attempts at forcing me to adopt GFWL, even when I already had the game on Steam.... NO. I will not be checking it out. Maybe if it proves itself as a games marketplace I will, after all steam does the same thing with Empire Total War and MW2, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt since they run such a good service.

They're going to have a to throw some really sweet deals at me. I don't mind paying 5-10 bucks more for the same game on Steam if it'd ever come to that. I simply don't trust MS enough to support their agendas.

Valve on the other hand have proven themselves fully capable of handling the "power" instilled in them through us consumers.

I agree with this. Microsoft is just trying to get into the superior gaming experience, can't really blame them for trying but It will be a destroyed by steam.

IDK, 2 weeks ago fear 2 was for 5$ not too bad.(even if the game is just a shadow of it former self) As for updates, this week brought 16 titles to the marketplace. maybe 10 weeks from now the marketplace will have a big selection.

You don't have to do that lol. I was just curious if they'll put Gears of War on it, because it's not on steam and it'd be nice to finally have someone to co-op with or something lol.

No.

Just to go ahead and answer the question of why before someone asks: I have Steam. I see no reason to bother with an inferior system like GFWL when I have Steam.

actually it was pretty lack luster 2 days ago I opened it up today wait for the update and saw that an entire page was added. It gave me hope that MS wasn't gonna go dead beat on GFWL. well tomorrow will add more games so I might be able to get FSX and abit of practice before flight comes out.
