Microsoft has FINALLY released a great flash based interface to the Xbox Live Marketplace, too bad it has to be in your browser.
The Pipeline is a one stop web enabled catalog of what's on the Marketplace. At the moment there are pulldowns for Game Downloads, Demos and Game Videos, Themes and Gamer Pics, Media and Entertainment, Editors Choice and We Need Your Help.
All of the sections pretty much work the same way. When you mouse over one of the main categories you'll get some sub categories to choose from. Clicking on a sub category will produce a list of content on the left and a details window on the right. So if you clicked an item on the left, the window on the right will display information about that download, some pictures, rating information and links for more information.

For any one out there that might still have some doubts about the Cloud Service and what it will be able to do here is a bit of video that shows that not only will it work but once the servers are in place it will run very smooth.
As you can see in this IGN video there is no doubt it can hold up to a single player even with the server being about 300 mile away from this guys laptop, with this video and the facts that show online play to be the way we are going you would be nuts to think this wont be a big thing before long.
