I love the new look of the interface, but it's still a little clunky and confusing to use. I was hoping for something more stripped down and simplified. Also loading times are really slow when accessing the marketplace. I hope that's just a temporary thing.

I do like how they look better than the Mii. But it needs a little more customization.

Their head is not 5 times the size of their body. The 360 avatars are most defiantly better.

I wouldn't say so, Mii's are much more like caricatures. My Mii looks much more like an abstract version of me than my Xbox version, you just get such little control over the face on the xbox. Hopefully MS upgrade the avatar app to support this.

My Avatar makes it look like I'm a lot younger than I really am. Oh well. Its kind of fun. The update is really nice. Game installs to the hard drive is nice, since my DVD drive sounded like a 747 taking off. And FINALLY they let us delete games with 0 Gamerscore from our list of played games. The party system and group chat is real nice. Overall, I'm very impressed.

They've let us do this now?
That link isn't the most descriptive thing. But, yes, its real easy.

Hit the Xbox button to bring up the mini guide. Then scroll over to the "Achievements" section. That will bring up all the games in your game history. When you go down the list, any game that has 0 points, it will give you the option to delete. It will remove it from your history both on the Xbox, as well as online. Basically its gone for good.

This works for full retail games, as well as XBLA games/trials. But, it only lets you do this with games with 0 points. So, if you are unlucky enough to have scored points in some stupid game, its stuck. A friend of mine has the misfortune of having 10 points in Yaris. And its going to haunt him forever now. HAHA!

The XBLA trials are what got me. A while back, I had my Xbox set to auto-download all new trials. Then, every couple weeks, I would go in, see what was new, and give them a whirl. Well, I soon realized that those trials were sticking in my history. I had like 30 of them. So, finally being able to take them out is nice.

Thanks! Been looking for this ever since Cromulent mentioned that it was possible, but wasn't able to find it until now.
