Changes coming to Xbox.com
Tomorrow, Xbox.com will be getting a massive facelift and I want to give you a
preview of what you can expect. In addition to support for the
9 new Xbox LIVE regions that will happen next month, Xbox.com will get a brand new look as well as some new features.
Here are some highlights:
Browser based Avatar editor: Edit your avatar and preview avatar items
before purchase
Combined views for messages, friend and game requests
Improved notification of your account subscription
Leverage Family Reports to understand what your family is doing and how they are using LIVE
Play web games with your Xbox LIVE friends on the web or on Windows Phone 7
Marketplace: More powerful search and more intuitive ways to browse and filter
Those are just a few of the changes, starting tomorrow you’ll be able to explore the entire thing yourself. Until then,
I’ve uploaded a few screen shots to get hold you over until then.
Note:
In order to prepare for these changes,
starting at 0500 ET/0200 PT/0900 GMT on
October 20th (tomorrow) Xbox.com and the Xbox forums
will be offline and unavailable for a short period of time. When it returns, you’ll see the new site.
The
Xbox LIVE service is not affected by this upgrade and will remain available during this time.
Edit: Once the update is complete,
drop by the Xbox.com forums and let us know what you think
