Ok, I know time goes by without a Midweek Marketplace rundown and you all get upset with me. (thanks for the reminder JTR J Bird) Hey things happen, I get sidetracked and before you know it months have gone by. I’m human…what can I say.
Well it’s back and it’s here now for you to scan through some of the hottest items on the Xbox Live Marketplace. For those who don’t know, the Midweek Marketplace is a gathering of a week’s worth (ok sometimes more) of content that hits the Marketplace. I decided to do it this way to make it easier for you guys to search and find what you may have missed to download. I’ll list recent stuff because I’m not going back to search since the last Midweek Marketplace.
Don’t forget to send Midweek Marketplace tips to me if you come across new entries.

Oh what a difference a month makes right? Ok so I know it’s been a bit more than an entire month (last one Feb 28) since I gave you a Midweek Marketplace rundown but it’s here now. For those of you unfamiliar with this, I gather up a week’s worth of Xbox Live Marketplace entries from demos to picture packs to Arcade and offer them up in an easy-to-find article for you.
The Midweek Marketplace will hopefully allow you to find some things you may have missed to download. This will be a little over a month’s worth of entries though so let’s begin shall we?

I know you’ve all been waiting on another Marketplace recap. Well, have no fear the Midweek Marketplace is here! As usual, the Marketplace has been jumping with great additions. The most recent is the Def Jam: Icon demo I announced. There have also been a few things added to the Video Marketplace but that’s a beast of its own and I try to grab the highlights in that area.

It’s the first Midweek Marketplace of 2007. Aren’t you excited? Probably not but I know you’re itching to see what’s been happening in the Xbox Live Marketplace. As with all Midweek Marketplace entries, I try to get everyone up to speed on things they may have missed because quite frankly, we all can’t get to every single thing availabe in the Xbox Live Marketplace. So, enter the Midweek Marketplace in which I take a week or so worth of what’s available so you can easily browse through it.
The Video Marketplace is a beast of its own and will probably never have the latest entries but I will try to point out any significant entries I run across. If you notice anything I’ve missed in the VM or other areas of the Marketplace, don’t hesitate to fill me in.

There’s one thing I can safely say as we enter the tail end of the holiday season. You’ll have plenty to download in the Xbox Live Marketplace. So after all the turkey and presents and whatever kind of partying that goes on in your homes, you can head right out and get a lot of goodies.
With the addition of the Video Marketplace, I’ll simply list the TV show to point out new content in that series most of the time. So if I don’t list specific episodes, don’t go crazy just know that the particular TV show I listed has some new content. Be sure to check for pricing on the VM content.
And with that said, let’s dig right in to another Midweek Marketplace.
