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

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.

*so DON'T go thinking you can...
Kinda cool I guess. Aesthetic, mainly (the avatar display). The marketplace will be cool when it launches.

You can check the coming soon page out right here: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/

If I change my timezone to australia I can download NXE right now? just guessing...
DBoyFlex @ Nov 18th 2008 1:18PM
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
DBoyFlex @ Nov 18th 2008 11:19AM
Here is major nelson.

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...
Cyantre @ Nov 18th 2008 11:15AM
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. =/
Cyantre @ Nov 18th 2008 11:16AM
Nevermind, I was looking at xbox.com and not the profile page. My mistake.
spiderp @ Nov 18th 2008 11:18AM

Looks good but you need to take down that mccain palin pic (it reps losers). you can try out the add queue feature with your purchase history

marketplace stuff doesnt work however the 'redeem code' link does work. if i only had a code to redeem :(
Deezul @ Nov 18th 2008 12:11PM
Redeem codes on line for points or memberships has always worked.
ToRo @ Nov 18th 2008 12:26PM
Ugh, I can't believe their making us have these. So gay...
SuburbGuerrilla @ Nov 18th 2008 12:47PM
Dude, give it a fucking rest
we get it, youre 'cool' because you are resistant to change.
Keep living that dream man!
ToRo @ Nov 18th 2008 1:04PM
Hell, I don't mind change. I just don't like it when it's forced upon me. Making an avatar should be a choice. Not mandatory.
Perno @ Nov 18th 2008 12:28PM
Showing off my Avatar's "Oh" face:

Can I stop my avatar from slouching like a bitch?
ZEBRA NINER @ Nov 18th 2008 3:50PM
Hey, they do look kind of... odd. Why are they standing like that? A girl, sure. These avatars are a little too flamboyant.
ZEBRA NINER @ Nov 18th 2008 3:46PM
Dustin's avatar looks just like him! Nice.
