Goodbye Xbox Live Marketplace, Hello Xbox Games Store
As we edge closer to Xbox One, Microsoft has rebranded their digital distribution service. You’ll now be purchasing your games on the Xbox Games Store.
Speaking with Joystiq, a Microsoft spokesperson said that this change is to make things easier for the user:
“That’s right, [Xbox Live Marketplace] is now called the Xbox Games Store, and will sit alongside the Xbox Music Store and Xbox Video Store. This is to make it easier for consumers to find content both on Xbox 360 today and Xbox One when it launches in November.”
Recently, Microsoft dropped the nonsensical points system and from now on, everyone will be purchasing games, DLC, avatar items and whatnot, for real-life cash rather than X amount of Microsoft points.
It’s the fuuuuuuture.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
