You got Avatar in my Xbox.com! [update]

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 18th 2008 at 10:45AM }

Update: It looks like the online Marketplace is now viewable as well.

Hey kids, remember the Xbox.com maintenance that went on earlier today? Oh, you say you were asleep. Well, it's not a big deal or anything, but we thought we would inform you that your Xbox.com profile page now displays your Avatar (assuming you have the NXE, of course). That's about it, really. As far as we can tell, the Xbox.com Marketplace still isn't open for business, so don't go thinking you can start blowing your Microsoft Points at work just yet. We expect that an any other major changes to Xbox.com will launch tomorrow alongside the NXE.

[Thanks CapnJunkie]

*so DON'T go thinking you can...

Kinda cool I guess. Aesthetic, mainly (the avatar display). The marketplace will be cool when it launches.

I don't know about that. Try it, but I doubt it will work.

I have noticed that you can see your gamerpic of your avatar now too. before it was just a question mark.

Hopefully they let you create your avatar from xbox.com. I don't think I would create on other wise.

How do you give a link of our avatar to your freinds

Just plug in your own gamertag and viola. The %20 goes where you would have a space in your gamertag. Make sense? Or you could make you live profile public and then just send the link to your live profile. Or use the xbox live gamertag app in facebook and import your avatar and it will show up in your picture folder.

Blank page...

I have had the NXE for over a week not, but my avatar isn't showing up on my page. My guess would be that it might be because the shoes I picked aren't available anymore. =/
