E3 is well underway and Microsoft came out swinging today. With the announcement of the new fall dashboard Xbox users will have the fun of customizing their own avatars!
Looking somewhat like the Mii that Wii users are familiar with, the Xbox 360 Avatar is your representation of yourself to the world. Customize your character, form a party with your friends and play avatar friendly games together. Best of all, you can form a party and then watch some Netflix Watch Now together. Sweet!
This fall, with the release of the new dashboard for Xbox 360, you will finally be able to stream Netflix Watch Now content right to your TV.
That’s right. Announced today at the Microsoft Keynote at E3 2008, Netflix partners with Microsoft to bring thousands of movies right to your console. The feature has been rumored for a while now and is a welcome addition.
More information as it becomes available.

MSN Auto is running a promotion for the new Dodge Challenger and in the process giving Microsoft Points away! All you have to do is design a car, give them all your info (and be prepared for some spam) and CHECK THE BOX STATING YOU WANT MS POINTS! This part is key. You only have one chance to get that right. Make sure you check the box!!
Here is the official MKG car.
There has been some confusion and cheating regarding the offer. Your initial email may show up without the code for points. They are delaying the points for 7-10 days to keep the thieves at bay. So be warned. There is no guarantee you will get any points at all. But the car is kind of fun to design too.
**Disclaimer: I do not work for Microsoft or Xbox or the like (although sometimes my reviews look like I do) and have no connection to this offer. In fact, I would rather you didn’t sign up. That gives me a better chance of winning. 😉
