One big problem that both Xbox Live and PSN have is that they don’t share their release schedules for the majority of their online content.  They just roll out new games and DLC at the drop of a hat, typically neglecting to inform the rest of the civilized gaming world that they’ve done so.

Major Nelson wants to start putting an end to that this year, as today he posted the Xbox Live Marketplace release schedule for the entire month of January.  The list not only contains all the Arcade, Games on Demand, and Avatar Marketplace releases, it also includes the scheduled Deal of the Week.  He hopes to post a new schedule on a bimonthly basis, but let’s see if he can keep up with this New Year’s resolution.
