There is a new Kinect title for North America -- other regions will have to wait until next week to be able to download it. Meanwhile, across the other side of the world, an MMORPG enters beta in Japan and brings achievements along with it. Everybody else can have new versions of three titles that have been released previously, including one version of Shape Up that Microsoft forgot to release two weeks ago.
