o The XBL Marketplace blade can have its own skin, independent of the dashboard's theme.
o The XBL Marketplace blade will change looks depending on such events such a season, a holiday, etc.
* Achievements:
o When you unlock a new achievement, the pop up will show which Achievement you got and how many points you earned.
* Downloads:
o Auto-shutdown: When enabled, it turns off your console after 6 hours on inactivity or after all the items in the queue were downloaded.
o Low-power downloading mode: it turns off all your fans when you leave the console downloading content.
o View partially downloaded movies: self explanatory; you can view parts of a movie that have been downloaded.
