Flip on your Xbox 360, sign into Xbox LIVE, and you’ll discover Microsoft’s new dashboard update ready to deliver its freshly feature-laden payload. That payload amounts to over a dozen new attributes (see my review for the complete list) including user interface improvements, new avatar props, expanded Netflix viewing features, and full versions of Xbox 360 games downloadable to your hard drive.
Here’s the list of Games on Demand titles available out of the gate. I’ve had a look this morning and confirmed the sizes and pricing personally, so the following information should be accurate as of 8/11. Bad Company wasn’t in Microsoft’s official release list, while Test Drive: Unlimited was, but isn’t up yet.
