Microsoft Outlines Revamped Xbox 360 Games Store

Microsoft has posted some new details and pictures on their Gamerscore Blog of the newly revamped Xbox Live Marketplace Games Store, which will be made available with the "New Xbox Experience" dashboard overhaul before the end of the year. Along with completely changing the navigation to work like the other menus in the new dashboard, the main focus of the revamp seems to be on adding more information that’s easier to access for each game.

While in the current Games Store you only see basic info like a game’s title, ESRB rating, and a short description, the new Games Store will add a host of additional and expanded information. "You will be able to check out screenshots of the game, watch trailers and read the back-of-the-box description like you are shopping at a retail store," explains the blog post. Each "game page," of sorts, will also feature every download available for that game, including previews, trailers, gamerpics, downloadable content, themes, images, etc.

Microsoft also posted a number of images of the new Games Store, with some compared to images of the old store (just for extra impact, we suppose). They still haven’t announced an exact date for when the New Xbox Experience will launch, but for now, feel free to check out the images below.
