Nah... you can still use the old themes... they just apply differently.
PAying for gamer icons seem pointless now though
I am loving this new dashboard for the Xbox. Ever person I know who's created their avatar look VERY close to their real life alter ego. I can only imagine what new items the Xbox team are going to release.
Buyable game-themed outfits for your avatar would be cool... Spartan or COG armour, race-driver jumpsuit, snowboard gear... the list goes on.
Clearly this will be expanded because I keep seeing outfits in promo pics that I have not seen as selectable options.
Plus I really like the Quick Launch option that you can choose when you press the orb button to bring up the mini-dashboard.
When it asked for me to update my Xbox i wasnt quite expecting this.

Wewt. Definately liking the download. Dispite it's similarities with the Wii. The new interface easily tops both the PS3 and the Wii.

I actually like this, I am also "fond" of Sony's Home project which is already one year late, maybe in the future we can see something for the 360? (I have both, but I find the 360 better for gaming online).
Be nice to spend our game points on avatar rewards, such as clothing, trophies, and if they did do a "home" system, items within the house etc.
I actually like the new interface, simplistic but does the job, only thing I hate is the Friends List, if you have alot of people, scrolling sideways through them all can be a pain.

heh very different for the one I use...
And I agree about the gamer icons, overall I still like it.
Got that Fable 2 Premium theme... I thought it would skin the whole dash, but only seems to skin the friends channel and the background of the My Xbox Channel...

Yeah, that's probably the one major fail of the NXE I've come across so far, though it's not really a new one.. still no way to preview theme packs or gamer pics before you buy them.

Am I the only one who finds these new "avatars" / "mii's" looking eerily similar enough to the little lego-man figurines?

The avatars are neat and all, but I just like the party chat. Now I can hang out with my friends regardless of what game they are playing.
I'm mostly playing left 4 dead and gears of war 2 atm.
