new xbox.com coming

some preview pics here shall be launching tomorrow.
Tomorrow, Xbox.com will be getting a massive facelift and I want to give you a preview of what you can expect. In addition to support for the 9 new Xbox LIVE regions that will happen next month, Xbox.com will get a brand new look as well as some new features.

Here are some highlights

Browser based Avatar editor: Edit your avatar and preview avatar items before purchase

Combined views for messages, friend and game requests

Improved notification of your account subscription

Leverage Family Reports to understand what your family is doing and how they are using LIVE

Play web games with your Xbox LIVE friends on the web or on Windows Phone 7

Marketplace: More powerful search and more intuitive ways to browse and filter



Those are just a few of the changes, starting tomorrow you’ll be able to explore the entire thing yourself. Until then, I’ve uploaded a few screen shots to get hold you over until then.


Note:

In order to prepare for these changes, starting at 0500 ET/0200 PT/0900 GMT on October 20th (tomorrow) Xbox.com and the Xbox forums will be offline and unavailable for a short period of time. When it returns, you’ll see the new site.



The Xbox LIVE service is not affected by this upgrade and will remain available during this time

Nope....it's down now.

Ahh yes it just went down for me as well

cough

in typical m$ fashion first thing i clicked here's what it said

Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.
It appears you've found a glitch in the system.

Sorry. We were, uh... a little bit distracted playing Halo: Reach. We will work on fixing this right away.

The update is live for me.

i found the uh h thing to but does look a lot better i like the lay out and the pictures are a lot clearer and that

Dislike.

Has anyone found an option to organise achievements so the newest unlocks are at the top?

Was just looking at the games I have played on xbox.com... Some of them wayyy down the list say I last played them in 1773? Anyone else had this odd error with the dates?

It's doing it to be too but with an earlier year lol.

I was also on Medal of Honor the other day, looking at my earnt medals online, and one of em said I'd unlocked in in February 2010 :/.

It keeps crashing on me, it's the Silverlight thing that wont work properly, Chrome works sort of, I have to ignore the pop up saying it'll close and continue to the forums whereas Firefox crashes and closes down completely.
All of the above is more to do with my steam powered laptop than anything M$ have done, shame though as it worked perfectly before the update.
