If you have a Xbox Live account you’ve probably already heard about the upcoming update starting the 29th to 30th of this month…
Go to “Welcome -> Express Yourself” and watch the video there to see what I’m talking about.
Looks like Microsoft’s taking a page from Nintendo’s Wii and going the personalized avatar route. Developed by the guys at Rare (Banjo-kazooie, Conker, Goldeneye), they look very much like Miis, no? “Enhanced” Mii…
Also seems that most of the changes are being done with the way friend networking goes down and this new “LIVE Party” thing they’re adding, playing with up to 8 friends.
Interesting, only a couple more days.
Update: Sorry, this maintenance was completely unrelated I guess. Microsoft hasn’t given an exact date for this update yet upcoming this fall. Bummer…
Second Edit (3/10/08): More new Marketplace screenshots
and still waiting for this new “Experience”.
