The New Xbox experience is now launched by Microsoft. The much-hyped revamp of the Xbox 360 Dashboard and online LIVE service, labeled the ‘New Xbox Experience’ is picking up pace with the launch of a new site showing the major changes. One of the biggest changes will be players getting to create their own avatars, which we covered here and you can see the video of the simple and cool-looking process after the jump.

There are also simulation videos on the new site demonstrating other changes like Parties, an improved social networking side so you can jabber with friends using a ‘deeper level of interaction’, and extra community content. This new website has many beneficial features.

I like this new website Can’t wait for the ability to install games to the hard drive (good bye loud DVD player, hello faster load times) and the ability to have a private chat with several people at once sounds, oh so fantastic. Avatars, and an ugly UI, make me less excited, but whatever. Microsoft is doing with the new features in this update, except for the interface. This latest Xbox experience is Microsoft’s excellent working website that itself modeled on the new navigation method coming in the update — that’s filled with videos that do just that.

The home-theater technology crammed into the Xbox 360 and PS3 is cool and all, but it’s never been clear whether consumers care enough about downloading .

This is a tempting update in Vongo and Vista’s profile as well. Now, Alpha version of Vongo edition identified at CES 2007 works well with Windows Vista allowing you to watch videos directly from Vista’s MediaCenter. Also, X-Box 360 helps in streaming the video directly through it to your TV. What more one needs!! huh.
