Xbox Live lets you play games against other online players, as well as download free demos, trailers, and more in Xbox Live Marketplace. You can use Microsoft Points to download full games from Xbox Live Arcade, or extras for your favorite games, such as new levels, vehicles, weapons, and lots more.
