Abstract
Automatic downloading of game content to a game console is provided. A user enables automatic downloading, and thereafter, game content available from a game server is periodically checked to determine if any content matches criteria specified for downloading. If a match is found, and the user has not previously downloaded the content, or a previous version of the content, then the game content is added to a download queue. The content specified in the download queue is transferred to the game console.
