NXE Newness!

Well hello there....

what? you say you notice something different?
Yup that new fangled xbox live update hit adding new awesomeness to the world of xbox live.

new is the avatar marketplace, where you can buy anything from the most useless avatar items, to some of the coolest stuff ever.

and dont worry theyre still comming out with more free stuff, all this stuff to buy is liscenced (hense having to charge for it)

so far are pirate costumes from Sid Meyer's Escape from Monkey Island, apparel and clothes based on Halo 3, a UNSC marine costume and more apperal for Halo: ODST, Gears of War 2 outfits and clothes, and also lightsabers and jedi outfits from Star Wars: Clone Wars.

they also have actual branded apperal, stuff like adidas and tokidoki but it seems kinda tame when you can wear clone trooper armor

aside from that you can now update your netflix watch it now que from your xbox, watch videos and chat with other xbox 360 netflix users in an xbox live party, and see what netflix videos the people on your friends list are watching.

theyve also added some technical features like a "progressive scan"-like option that formats your video settings based on a scan of your tv automatically.

and probably one of the coolest additions is that of the full game download station.

no, were not talking about arcade games

no, were not even talking about xbox originals

were talking full Xbox 360 games you can download and play straight from your hard drive! sure, its gonna make us all lazy ass bastards but hey, its still a damn cool thing!
