A little off topic, but is anyone else a little disappointed with the new xbox experience? Me and my friends find ourselves spending a lot more time in the menus to do things we could normally access in less than 3 seconds (like check friends available..IE: see a list instead of strolling to the right to see their avatars).

Also, while I do like the idea of making the avatar a little more detailed than the Mii, I was kind of disappointed by the fact I couldn't move or resize things like eyes, mouths, noses, etc on the face. I know it sounds odd.. but the overly simplistic Mii looks a lot more like me than my Avatar, which I wasn't expecting at all...and it's just because I was able to make things bigger, smaller, and position them on the face anywhere I want it.

Is there anyway you kind bloggers here at XB3 fanboy could give a big hint to Msoft to at least go ahead and be able to move and resize facial features?

I will admit though the menus does look a lot more modern. Maybe I just need time learning exactly where to go before I get quick with the new OS.

You can view your friends in 'list form' via the guide. :D

Mr. Burg is right about the guide, it keeps things efficient. To be honest, moving from task to task seems even quicker with the new dash to me...

As for lack of sizing/positioning ability with the avatars? I agree 100%, that would have made the avatars much better.

at first I completely abhored the idea of avatars, but after seeing how closely mine resembles me and my friends avatars resemble them, I'm pretty amazed by it...if only they could make them usefull...or give us avi clothing and stuff for achievements, that'd be a dream come true

I was hoping for actual famous and rich people. They'll come out eventually I suppose.

Yes a lot of them look right on!

Yikes - some of those photos have been stretched beyond the point of unflattering. Poor Trixie looks wider than she is tall.

Most of them look good, but LMOA at Major Nelson. He looks nothing like his avatar.

worst offenders: Lee, Gerstman and the pop-tart DirtyDiva. i don't know what they see in the mirror every day but it isn't anything like their avatars.

props to Crecente, Croal, McElroy and Belmont for being honest.
