Xbox.com Updated

After yesterday's Xbox Live and Xbox.com downtime, which lasted just under 24 hours, members were told not to expect any updates.  And while it was partially true, there are no new features on Xbox Live or the Dashboard, Xbox.com got a pretty nice overhaul.

The MyXbox page is completely redone putting your avatar front and center along with some quick access to information like achievements, recent friends, and other stuff.  The friends list page is also updated, with some nice new features including quick access to do common tasks with friends like compare games, send a message, and view their friends.  The latter could be extremely useful for our Co-Op Nights.  

Hopefully the actual dashboard updates will be coming soon with many of those touted E3 2009 features.

I really don't like the new look but maybe that is just me.

I think the new friends list is really well done now.

I'm not fussed either... honestly, what 'casual' gamer is going to use the advanced features on xbox.com? As the focus on avatars is clearly directed at that market.

at least they got rid of all that flash nonsense. my laptop doesn't handle that too well. the new layout is weird but like ba said, the friends list is nice.

The friends list looks the same to me. Yea, I don't like this, either. I used to be able to access the pages with my Blackberry...not anymore!

You would think they would patch the USB port stuff.. Its just silly to have to unplug stuff that you usually just leave plugged
Yeah but I think it would still be cool!
Thanks for clearing that up! I probably won't buy it though.
I recently picked up a 360 after nearly five years of Warcraft, so... well, I have some catching up to do. My current game libra
