My thing with the avatars is that it doesn't take away from my experience so I don't really care if its there. If it really bothers you that much pick one of the random defaults and just ignore it. And Netflix, wow finally MS did something right! Everything worked smooth for me. My thing with the avatars is that it doesn’t take away from my experience so I don’t really care if its there.

I downloaded the netflix service and I added like 50 Titles to my "watch instantly Q" I have a ps3, wii, and 360...The 360 is my favorite system. The avatars was a let down because unlike the wii, you cant position your eyes and nose and eyebrows. or change the size of you eyes and stuff. Plus you cant change you clothes color! I give the NXE a 9.5 It’s working fine for me. I downloaded the netflix service and I added like 50 Titles to my “watch instantly Q” I have a ps3, wii, and 360…The 360 is my favorite system.

Kind of kiddie like. A little too childish, but I guess that is the market they were focusing on, trying to get some of those Wii users to get an Xbox 360. The dashboard is cool. Kind of Zune like in a way. Runs very smooth, but I could have done without the avatars. Works fine, but I think it is too “Wii” like with the avatars and stuff. Kind of kiddie like.
