Microsoft about Web-based XBLA Interface
>> From developmag.com:
[QUOTE]
Broad details about Microsoft's further plans for its new Xbox 360 dashboard were relayed to developers at the UK Gamefest event in London last week, Develop understands.
One session about Marketplace sales and content explained that Microsoft is readying a web-based interface to the online store (which sells DLC, Xbox Live Arcade Games, and also movies) that is currently only accessible via the console interface.
Via the new storefront users will be able to browse available Xbox 360 content from their computer - either at home or work - which will be then be 'sent' to their console as a download. (Presumably, the system requires the console to be in a sleep mode and utilises the on-board download manager to work.)
With the Marketplace having a web-based counterpart, Microsoft told assembled developers that it will be possible for them to virally promote their games via links on the web. The same features are also expected to be available to indie developers using the XNA Creators Club channel when that launches with the new Xbox 360 dashboard update later this year.
