Famous Avatars

As with Miis before them, people are busy putting their creative skills to use trying to recreate famous characters using the NXE avatars. Many of which are surprisingly good too. A couple are below, follow the link at the bottom for more.

On an unrelated note, Chinese Democracy was finally released this week. Anyone noticed the elephant at around 2:24 on Shacklers Revenge ;) ? Let me know on the GAMEOV3R Forum

Your NXE Avatar URL


Say hello to my new Xbox avatar... that's me that is, and you can access yours by going here and changing 'Long Lost Star' for your Gamertag.

If you've chosen to use your avatar for your Gamer Picture you can also access that here.

I've shown you mine, so show us yours on the GAMEOV3R Forum

The NXE Arrives

So today is the day that Xbox owners have been looking forward to or dreading. Either way there is no choice whether you use the New Xbox Experience or not so get used to it! Courtesy of Major Nelson here's a few things to try out once you've downloaded the update...

The most publicised one is to create (or customize) your Avatar.
When you are done, be sure to take a Gamer Picture of your Avatar. In the Avatar editor, choose Gamer Picture. You can use the controls to move your avatar around, zoom in and out or even change the background color (press Y).

Themes. While any themes you have should work with the NXE, check out some of the new themes via My Xbox and select your profile (second slot) and then change theme. Xbox 360, Spectrum, Day and Night are new themes that are available as part of your NXE upgrade…check them out.

One thing I didn't know was coming is the ability to delete zero gamerscore games. You can remove any games from your games played list that you have earned no achievements or gamerscore. Press the Xbox 360 guide button, navigate left to the games section and choose Achievements. From here choose the game with zero gamerscore you want to remove and press X (Delete Game History.)

Peace at last!...Install to / Play from Hard Drive.

A tip for exploring the all new dashboard - (use the trigger and bumpers to quickly scroll up and down or left and right).

Being the newest member on the GAMEOV3R Forum is a new experience most would rather miss...

Xbox Experience Noise Test

Of all the things the new Xbox experience is going to bring, one of the best things for me is the ability to install games to the hard drive. Not only will they load quicker but also cut the amount of noise the thing makes. Even with a newer Xbox the sound it makes when the DVD drive is spinning is a little ridiculous compared to the Wii or PS3. So exactly how much quieter will it be? Watch this...



Peace, love and respect... but mostly PEACE!

Experience This

The new Xbox 'experience' is set to arrive on November 19th but first there are a few hurdles to overcome... the update requires 128MB of free space and therefore a hard drive is recommended for the optimal experience as some Arcade console users are going to be struggling for space.

The update is not optional so Microsoft have said that they plan to offer some kind of solution but haven't yet stated exactly what that will be. Users in this position are being told to keep checking xbox.com for details in the coming weeks. Free memory units for all? Discounted hard drive or memory units for affected customers? Either way if it ends up costing these customers for something they are forced to accept there could be some unhappy people come November 19th.
