Tons of Xbox 360 news; Avatars and more

After several rumours flying around on the net Microsoft has finally announced that Xbox LIVE! will get a total makeover this fall.

The most important things to note is Avatars, where you can customize yourself, as well as the possibility to copy your games over to the HDD for faster loading times. Now all that remains is a affordable 120GB HDD... Today it is way too expencive.

You can also visit the Xbox Marketplae at xbox.com and buy things online there -and have them directly downloaded to your 360.

In addition to this you can create a "Xbox Live Party", where up to 8 people can talk together, share pictures or watch videos. in the US multiple people also get access to "Primetime", a channel where you can participate in different games/gameshows with your avatar. This will not be availible in Europe yet.

So, alot of good news here for Xbox 360 owners! Now we'll just have to wait and see what Sony and Nintendo pulls out of their magic hats.
