Xbox LIVE Marketplace Hits The Web
One of the lesser-known features of the New Xbox Experience is the ability to purchase content off of the LIVE Marketplace from the comfort of your own computer. All you have to do is go to marketplace.xbox.com and sign in, then browse the selection of games, videos, themes and pics. As you add things to your download queue, they'll start downloading the minute you fire on your 360 the next time.
This is a nifty feature, but honestly, would it kill them to give preview images of the themes and gamerpics? I mean, really. If I'm going to spend 50 Microsoft Points on a Tomb Raider theme, it's like whatever. But if I'm going to shell out 250 for the Premium Theme, I'd like to know whether or not it's worth my time.
Still, the new Xbox Marketplace isn't that hard to navigate, is it? Would you prefer to browse on a computer? Or does it make no difference to you?

What would be more interesting - I have wireless, but the sort of wireless that won't allow my xbox on. Would I be able to download to my mac and transfer to my 360? Because that would make this feature hella-awesome.
Otherwise, I know better ways to kill time at work.
I'm still wondering when they'll add a browser in, if nothing else so I can browse Netflix streaming selections from the same machine I'm watching them on...
Sure this would be great; IF it actually worked. This past weekend I was looking to rent a movie, clicked on the item and then got an error. Nothing was put in my download queue and I had to fire up the 360 and search for it anyway.
I just want to know where all the extra goodies of the premium themes are! I just shelled out 250 points for the new Galactica theme, and I don't see anything "premium" about it!
