If you know anything about us here at X3F, then you've already accepted the fact that we love our free Marketplace content. It's one of the rare things in life that can instantly brighten our day. And today we've got our fair share of free XBLM content with the release of a hand full of themes and gamer picture sets from the new Xbox Originals games. Available to all Xbox Live subscribers is a free theme and gamer picture pack for each Xbox Original game including
Crash Bandicoot,
Crimson Skies,
Fable,
Fuzion Frenzy,
Halo,
Indigo Prophecy and
Psychonauts. That's a total of seven free themes and picture packs. And surprise, surprise, they're all actually pretty decent. Especially the free
Halo picture pack, because we're suckers for a good Grunt gamer pic.

Damn, it gave me the error of Gold members only. Hmm, must try again.

I'm now sporting a pyschonauts gamer pic. Please support this game.
Ben @ Dec 4th 2007 2:24PM
I hear ya, this is a great game that didn't get enough attention. Hopefully those who haven't played it will download it!

ownership!
i might hve to ditch the beaver and pimp the crimson skies, cause that was my fave original Xbox game.
Wilson @ Dec 4th 2007 2:14PM
I'm using the Pschonauts theme right now, it rocks.
danny. @ Dec 4th 2007 2:15PM
I checked Gamerpic Scout and there are allready ~200 users with Psychonaut gamerpics. Still going to make the switch though...
DemonGSides @ Dec 4th 2007 2:17PM
The entire update is fantastic.
Good job microsoft!

Damn I hate being on a trip to Chicago right now. I get home tonight and will be downloading all sorts of stuff. Going to need to spring for the 120Gig Drive now.
danny. @ Dec 4th 2007 2:23PM
enjoy Chicago while you're here. It'll be snowing soon and your flight out will be delayed anyway.
grigdog @ Dec 4th 2007 3:27PM
Agreed. Once it starts snowing, the planes stop flying. Hope your stay in Chicago is enjoyable otherwise.

Yaris!?
Achievement Whoring, Dustin?
DjDATZ @ Dec 4th 2007 2:42PM
he accidentally started it instead of some other arcade game...listen to the fancast ;) :P
CyberKnight @ Dec 4th 2007 3:22PM
Hee hee, Yaris. :D
I'm surprised he didn't photoshop the "?" icon on top of it. ;)
TXAustin @ Dec 4th 2007 7:08PM
ahhh I haven't had a chance to listen to this week's Fancast yet...
My bad Dustin! I should have know better! =D
Dustin Burg @ Dec 5th 2007 1:33AM
dare you accuse me of playing Yaris ... dare you?
HazyCloud @ Dec 4th 2007 2:29PM
Thanks MS for the free pics and themes. I think they are the best free set to date.
Viridium @ Dec 4th 2007 2:39PM
Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) FTW!
DjDATZ @ Dec 4th 2007 2:41PM
awesome...will download when i get home! :D
GoldenPie @ Dec 4th 2007 2:50PM
Yep, got them all as soon as I updated. ^^
murph @ Dec 4th 2007 2:52PM
on Major Nelson's latest podcast he mentioned there should be a tab for FREE STUFF on the marketplace.
Viridium @ Dec 4th 2007 3:55PM
This is a good idea. I periodically scan the Marketplace for free content, and this'll make it a lot easier!
Boff @ Dec 5th 2007 9:06AM
Yeah I was thinking that last night, I even saw it in one of the vids for the Update.
WHERE'S MY FREE STUFF????
JakubK666 @ Dec 4th 2007 3:30PM
Hey, the grunt picture looks awesome but are they Gold Only? I tried to get them on my silver account :( It's gonna suck especially if MS is going to charge points for them in a couple of days
Etchasketchist @ Dec 4th 2007 3:54PM
Damn dude, lay off the Yaris. I thought you kicked that habit.
baby sea tuna @ Dec 4th 2007 4:23PM
The grunts have the best freaking lines in the Halo games. I killed the brute leader of a patrol yesterday and one of the grunts just took off screaming "I was just following orders!"
I almost pissed myself.
ian @ Dec 4th 2007 9:03PM
You know everyone is going to get these gamerpics and they'll quickly no longer be cool.
phantomgrave @ Dec 5th 2007 2:03PM
Yeah I downloaded the Halo 1 gamerpics, didn't feel like switching just yet though.
refinedsugar @ Dec 5th 2007 8:08PM
I love the growing ranks of posers who've come out of the woodwork in support of Psychonauts after all this time. While you're hopping on the bandwagon for under appreciated games, check out Indigo Prophecy too.
