Xbox.com gets redesigned My Xbox section

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 17th 2009 at 1:00PM }

If you've logged on to the My Xbox section of Xbox.com today, you probably noticed that it's received a little face-lift since yesterday's maintenance. There aren't any major new features -- and none were promised -- but the layout has changed to gel a little bit more with the look of the NXE. As you can see in the image above, the main My Xbox page shows off your Avatar as well as the Avatars and Live status of a few of your friends. If you mouse over a friend, a window pops up allowing you to do things like sending a message or checking out your buddy's gamerscore.

As we said, nothing monumental, but a decent improvement. Head over to Xbox.com and check it out. Incidentally, we encountered some bugs with the site -- weird formatting, Avatars not loading, etc. -- but we imagine those will be ironed out soon enough.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Extra Bonus: None of the marketplace items in the last week work now. Hope you weren't planning on buying XBLA games the day they came out!

Double extra bonus - the Support page won't load, so I can't check the repair status on my recently-fixed 360.

They should keep you posted with emails. I received like four different notices from them yesterday, which culminated with the tracking number for my "fixed" (read: a different, refurbished) Xbox.

Mine RROD'ed as soon as maintenance started ¬_¬

I'm having the same exact problem.

I like the cleaner interface. Now, can you please work on how smooth NXE is? There is a little lag when you hit the guide button or sometimes when you click on something.

a little lag? browsing xblm with the NXE is torture and the dashboard doesnt load much faster either; every xblm description takes 10 - 20 seconds to load, the games library is painfully slow and friends avatars take even longer..

i try to avoid using the NXE for anything more than editing my avatar (she's so cute).. xbox.com is much faster, way more convenient and infinitely easier to use and i like new look but i wish theyd spend more time making the NXE smoother..

It's related to how much crap is on your harddrive. If you delete all installed games and clear your cache it gets pretty speedy again, but then you don't have any installed games or updates.

@drumwiz86

It's an issue with the servers need to verify if you've purchased a video or anything else before. If you download lots of trailers , gamerpics, etc...that's your slow down.

I tried the cache reset and delete game, it doesn't help.

People were posting on Major Nelsons site yesterday and e responded that they are looking into the issue. The fix can't come soon enough. It's a terrible experience.

I suppose it looks OK, I can't seem to find certain stuff though. Mainly people on my friends list played games and subsequently a comparison of my achivements and theirs on said game. All I see is their last 5 played games, when I click on the title I just brings up my achievements on that game.
