RicaneliteXbox Site Adds Marketplace, Avatars in Preparation for NXE
EvilAvatar noticed that after a bit of downtime today, Xbox.com has two new revisions in preparation for the New Xbox Experience. First, the Xbox Avatars that many users have already been making now appear in user Profiles on the site. The news that is more likely to excite players is the new online Marketplace. Right now it's blank, but it promises users the ability to browse games and movies from their PC and place orders sometime in the near future. Items ordered from the store will then be auto-downloaded the next time the user logs onto Xbox Live.
For those who weren't fortunate enough to enter the NXE preview that opened the floodgates today, don't fret. You have less than 24 hours remaining before you can start making Avatars, starting Parties, and watching movies from Netflix. With some of the NXE's new features already aligning with Xbox.com, it will be interesting to see if any other cross-platform functionality comes into play.
