Introducing Xbox Live Database

March 15th, 2011

The site may have seemed inactive in the past few months, but I’ve been hard at work with infrastructure and automation changes in the background. Some of these changes have been cropping up over the site slowly as I test out new features.

Like all sites, it’s an ever evolving process and I am still implementing features. Now, after all my hard work, I’m excited to announce my Xbox Live Database. I created this database because Microsoft has not been very forthcoming when items either drop in price, go on sale, or are delisted.

The Xbox Live Database can be accessed using the quick links under the RSS feed or from it’s home page at Xbox Live Database (XBLDB). I will be adding additional information to each of the pages that make up the project in the near future, but here is a quick overview.

Free Xbox Marketplace List Updated

I have updated the various Free Xbox Live Marketplace Content lists on the site.

The biggest addition and change is the Free Xbox Live Game Add-ons list. This list is driven by a database that is updated once a day, so the list will always be up to date. The only downside is the list currently includes desisted items and I will be working on a method to identify these items.

I will also be updating the “Full” Games and Arcades Games lists to use the same database in the next few weeks.

Huge New Release Update

In order to “catch up” I am doing this final huge update of content that has been released in the past two months or so. This may be the last update as the content becomes search able and the site focuses more and sales and price drops.
