According to Major Nelson’s latest podcast, the Xbox Live Team is working towards making a harder, better, faster, and indeed stronger Xbox Live Dashboard for the next update later this year.
Microsoft announced today that the Xbox 360 Avatars will be getting an upgrade, with new items, known as Awards and Props, coming soon to add further personalization to your New Xbox Experience character.
When it launched in 2005, the Xbox 360 was, certain issues aside, a successful product. But it was also drab. Lifeless. Until, in 2008, along came the avatars.
If your Xbox 360 is looking a little drab – and you’re not adverse to spending money on tarting it up – then hey, this new Crackdown theme might be just the thing you’re into.
The addition of the Rare-designed Avatars in the New Xbox Experience hasn’t amounted to much beyond an increasingly expanding virtual wardrobe. But Microsoft may have grander plans for the little guys.
The virtual wardrobes of the Xbox 360′s Avatars have expanded, offering exciting new options to outfit your virtual self, including booty shorts and sporty vests for the girls and terrible denim options for the guys.
Your “New Xbox Experience” avatar has just gotten some grown up clothes, eight new pieces of formal and business casual articles that will be a hit at your next Xbox Live con call.
For all their promise, the 360′s avatars look a little… drab. This isn’t 1998, Microsoft, nor the set of Frasier. Thankfully, Capcom are on the case, and with Crecente in mind will be releasing pirate costumes.
Most people are more than happy with the improvements the New Xbox Experience brought to the Xbox 360′s user interface. Those unhappy, well, tough: it’s about to become compulsory.
Microsoft is going all out in its promotion of The Lost and Damned coming to the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV. And by “all out,” we mean new Avatar clothing options.
