I hate the NXE. It's such a lame ripoff of the Mii system and it's not going to sell systems. The blade system wasn't intuitive, but neither is this. MS isn't good at making intuitive software -- they should leave the software creation to third parties who are the reason the 360 is successful in the first place.  I didn't even want to download the NXE.  It was downloaded and installed automatically.

Just let us copy our games to the HD like we always should have been able to do.

Nice little rent, who cares if it ripoff, also it isn't supposed to be system seller, it was made to make the user interface easier. Also why derail this thread, no one was posting anything about how the NXE system is, this only about people's avatar.

Well it's certainly obnoxious that you can't avoid installing it.

This is really cool... assuming those avatars have even a remote resemblance to the people they represent. That's kind of obvious with my avatar... no one in his right mind would create an avatar like to try and impress people...

Hehe, they all have the same pose.

that's one thing i'm not crazy about is the hippy pose... other than that it was kind of fun to get my wife to help me make me.
