Xbox Live Marketplace rebranded as Xbox Games Store
When approached to confirm the rebranding, a Microsoft spokesperson told Joystiq, "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."
Given all the pre-Xbox One streamlining going on, including the switch to real-world currency on Xbox Live, a new moniker for the Xbox 360's online marketplace (and soon to be the Xbox One's) is not a big surprise and maybe not the biggest news either. Still, it does mean after nearly eight years we have to say sayonara to Xbox Live Marketplace, a name that sort of rolled off the tongue in an after-eight-years-it-really-should way.

CokesBreadingwupDaw They don't just have games there ... I like the marketplace name better.
That's exactly how I feel, The Name change was unnecessary.
Yeah, I agree, waste of their time
They are doing it just to change things up.
It really doesn't have a point. Xbox Marketplace was better and sounded better.

Lightyear It looks so wrong haha, it's weird to see the name change after all these years.
It's going to always seem weird at first.

Gossip Dont really care about the name change but I guess it could help out a couple people.
How do you think it could help out people? It's just a name change? :P

I could see them changing it up a little and adding different names to different sections of the marketplace. It wouldn't make much sense at all otherwise
