Profile information now editable via Xbox.com

by Dustin Burg { Feb 15th 2008 at 9:30AM }

The always informative Major Nelson recently sent word that Xbox.com's profile editing functionality has been beefed up, allowing anyone to change their profile information via Xbox.com's interface. More specifically, Microsoft's Fall Update addition of the name, location and bio information fields (viewable on one's gamercard) can now be edited using Xbox.com. This is a godsend for those who have super long life stories to tell and haven't had to patience to use the Xbox 360 dashboard's patented "poke and prod" method of text entry. The new profile editing options can be viewed by heading to Xbox.com's Manage Profile section and selecting the Edit Personal Profile option. Once there, you'll see name, location and bio fields awaiting your texting attention and data entry skills. Have fun typing!

[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

It's nice they added this function..BUT...

I would love the ability over live.XBOX.com to monitor download ques and speeds. I don't know what blazing fast service providers some of you might use but for me, downloading a gig, gig and a half of information to the console takes about four hours. (And I'm using high speed Roadrunner from Zoomtown.)
I'd love a way to check on the process via my computer.

Four hours...that's rough. Most files of that size take about 10 - 15 minutes with my Comcast connection.

I would like to load up my que online, remote starting the console would be pretty cool too but I don't see that happening. They can't even keep up with getting screenshot of themes and gamerpics...how would they have the time to help with que's and remote starting?

As for this new text area...well I could use a larger box in case I actually type a bit of info (which my bio has thanks to the chat pad). That one line crap is for the birds.

I'm with Whiskey on this one...I would LOVE to check and que up my downloads from the internets on my 360. See a demo I want? Oh, here let me boot up my 360 from work, and tell it to download the demo. That would be UBER awesome.

Now I just wish I could remove my credit card info from my account!

1 I've had my credit card replaced twice by the credit card company on potential fraud suspicions...so now I have 3 credit cards listed on my 360...and you know which one is the default? The first one I entered, which has been dead for over a year now. And EACH and EVERY time I have to change the billing options. And no, you can't just change the number to a new one. You HAVE to add a new card, but you can't remove the old ones...HOW STUPID is that?

On another note, I have NO clue why they didn't make the Bio field a field like the message field. It would be SO much easier to type and edit. Idiots.
