Publish Date : 3/11/2005 11:19:00 AM Source : ExpressNewsline.com Software and Operating Systems News

Microsoft says its next-generation Xbox video-game console will offer new ways for the company and game creators to make money from players.

The new console will offer an on-screen guide with a shopping marketplace in which players can buy new game levels, including weapons, cars or character outfits, Microsoft told a game developers' conference in San Francisco.

It said further it will set up a payment system so that even small-ticket items can be easily purchased, the Seattle Times said Thursday.Though there were few details mentioned, players may also have the ability to spend money on music.

Bringing in revenue long after games leave store shelves has long been a dream for developers.Until now, console gaming has mostly been a one-transaction business, in which there is little incentive or opportunity for players to buy anything after the initial game purchase.
