The New Xbox Experience has been available for quite a long time now. It is a free update and its main purpose is to make the dashboard look prettier! It also provides a few other features and will update itself the first time you get Xbox Live and have some spare space.
One new feature that you notice straight away is the avatars. These are very similar to the Mii`s on the Wii and other things. You can customise many things about your avatar and even buy or download for free items for them. They also appear in a few games like Uno which makes it more interesting. The avatars are also viewable on your friend's list showing you people avatars as well as the games they are playing. This is now extended to unlocking avatars awards and this feature has just started. These are rewards that when you doing something in a game you get an avatar item and I look forward to this being used more. It is only used in a handful of games at the moment most notably Left 4 Dead 2. I am looking forward to get a football shirt from Fifa!
The menus have also changed and look better for it. You now go up and down and then left to right and it is just better than the previous dashboard.
1 vs 100 also was promised with the update and has now arrived. It is a great free quiz game and you can win prizes like Microsoft points, free games and even cars. This is also one of the games that uses your avatar and it is quite good fun!
Anyway this is a pretty cool update well worth having if you have not already got it and it adds some cool new features!
