Titles that have suffered an average review score of less than 65 per cent and have a trial conversion rate of 6 per cent will be taken off the service after a three month grace period, reports Gamasutra.

The move comes following confirmation that Microsoft is to raise the file limit of game downloads to 350MB.

Microsoft will not be releasing a spring update for the Xbox 360 dashboard as it has done in the past, but wil instead work on server issues

The firm will also establish a new internal develoment team focused on downloadable content.
