North American retailer GameStop has taken another step forward in its expansion to digital games and content with some new features for its burgeoning digital storefront.

Currently, the company is selling digital PC games and offering time-limited demos of certain titles, but eventually plans to offer Xbox 360 games and DLC. For the Xbox 360, customers will be emailed a code to redeem on the Xbox Live Marketplace. GameStop retail stores have already been selling some Xbox 360 digital content.

On the PC side, GameStop is selling Steamworks titles like Civilization V, while other titles will be directly downloaded through a partnership with Real Networks. The current selection is quite small and currently available in the US only.

Microsoft will also be re-launching its digital storefront as a web-based service, ditching the Games for Windows Live client in favor of a site later this month.

My only concern is how long you're allowed to re-download your game. In the FAQ it doesn't say there is a limit. I'd rather have that clarified before purchase then find out later. It's the one reason I won't ever use the EA store. Limited download time frame.
