Not a major change, but overall, it looks to add a couple of nice improvements.
Can't wait for the Facebook update.

the 360 avatars are crappy gimmics for Microsoft to milk more money from you. i havent touched the one for my gamertag because i saw no point in making such a cartoony asshole when i already have The Sims 2JRCB said:
and yes, every kid who thinks that Halo is anything better then the $10 bin garbage will be wearing the spartan armor
I can't wait to waste more of my valuable hard drive space for another pointless dashboard update! If Microsoft keeps updating the dashboard and taking up my hard drive space, they can at least let me exchange my 20 gig hard drive for a 60 gig hard drive. I know that the dashboard updates don't take to much space, but I'm starting to run low and I would like to save my memory for games. This really sucks because I was hoping to download all of the Fallout 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4 expansion packs.
Meh - looks alright. I've said for ages that the Nintendo avatars should be customisable with unlockables, but it would seem Microsoft has beaten them to it - and good on 'em! I resent the fact that they're going to try making people pay for items though! Besides middle-aged American housewives binging on Arcade puzzle games, who can honestly justify such a ludicrous waste of money?!
If they want to charge for anything, they should have a studio download, where people can create and share their own creaitons a la Second Life. It'd be so much cooler to have a fully customisable avatar!

According to Major Nelson's Twitter page the update is only going to be available for those chosen for the preview and the fully public version will not be up until Aug 11th.
Can anyone confirm this?

What luck. I just got 4200 points, plus my existing 600 points.
Looks like it's time to pimp out my avatar.
As a side note, if the Awards work with existing games... oh god. It's too good to imagine. Fable II gear, Fallout 3 gear, Mass Effect gear, Prototype gear, COD 4 gear...
I shall be busy on August 11th it seems.

The only unfortunate thing, in my opinion, is that avatars won't be allowed to get weapons. I understand why - they don't want to deal with the fallout from doing it - but I'd still like my avatar to be kitted out with a broadsword or somethingSparrow Tag said:
I personally will be buying one item if I have to buy it, or I'll unlock it if its an unlockable, and that is the chicken with the pulley.

all that stuff looks cool but i dont think i would waste MS points on avatar stuff unless they only cost like 60 points like what i have left over that cant buy anything. I also need to get my XBL connection back, my adapter is busted and now i have to pay $100 for a new one
There's a couple cool things there, but nothing that makes me want to rush out to buy a 360. For instance: The props and awards. Though having to buy the props isn't. Not too fond of buying things for online avis for real money, personally. I'd rather buy games! Lastly: I'm NOT bashing the 360, just commenting!
