From Digg via Joystiq:
Once exclusive to the UK's Xbox.com web space, Microsoft's online, photo tinkering Free Your Avatar tool just released to most all global Xbox.com sites. The website relaunch also comes with the new ability to upload your own background and comes packed with "new props and goodies!" Joy!
This is so cool. I have to admit, when the Fall Update for Xbox Live was first previewed, I was completely ambivalent about the Avatars. I thought, "dressing up my avatar? I dunno about that, I'm not much for dressup and stuff like that". However, since the update, I've really grown to love my Avatar, and the idea of breaking him out of Xbox Live and letting him stretch his legs is really resonating with me. I love this. I hope it gets deeper and deeper as time goes on. I've heard rumors of unlockable clothing items, and "winnable" avatar elements. I would LOVE that. It would be such a perfect combination of gaming and social interactions.
People could take a lesson from Xbox 360. I've said it once and I'll say it again, Xbox Live is absolutely without a doubt the premiere social network.
