In celebration of Canada's 141st birthday, Canadian Xbox 360 owners have been showered with Xbox related gifts courtesy of Microsoft. Available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace are a set of ~~six~~ five gamer pictures and a classy Canada Day '08 theme for the low, low cost of free. Also, anyone looking to spruce up their wallpaper can pick-up the free Canada Day wallpaper pictured above at Xbox.ca. Make sure to download the art, created by Canadian gamer Sinnix, and ring in Canada Day proper.

Dwag @ Jul 1st 2008 12:14PM

Wishing I was in Canada right now. There dollar is still beating the American one or has that trend faded?

Andrew @ Jul 1st 2008 12:47PM

Nope the USD is still going in the shitter.

Formulaic @ Jul 1st 2008 2:10PM

Actually the US Dollar is just slighty higher than the Canadian Dollar... 1 USD = 1.02 CD

Here's a fun fact, 1 US dollar is $12,226,034,516.65 in Zimbabwe!

They better hook up us Amercks this week with some July 4th stuff. I mean come on, Canada has enough stuff. They don't need free gamerpics!

Andrew @ Jul 1st 2008 12:31PM

What's the relevance of the angry beaver/woodchuck?

L4MB @ Jul 1st 2008 2:11PM

it's one of our national symbols, kinda like the American Bald Eagle.

Gemini Ace @ Jul 1st 2008 12:39PM

Man, first they get national healthcare, now this! I'm outraged, eh.

Rell @ Jul 1st 2008 12:52PM

It's my birthday, I want. :(

Jared @ Jul 1st 2008 12:56PM

Americans have no room to complain. I'm still mad i can't get the Dark Knight content.

007craft @ Jul 1st 2008 1:32PM

those all look like crappy picture.. except that coin. That one does look pretty sweet. *off to download

Sinnix @ Jul 1st 2008 3:35PM

Actually, it's FIVE gamerpictures... not six. ;) The silver maple leaf with 2008 under it is actually the Marketplace icon that shows in the listing for both the picture pack and theme. Xbox.ca got it a little wrong!
