The Gamer Score blog has a letter from Marc Whitten, General Manager for Xbox Live, which talks about the newly released Xbox Live Experience.
It has been a truly incredible year for Xbox LIVE. We have grown our community by millions of people, and over the past 12 months have heavily invested and worked to make our vision for this online service come to life.
Today, I’m proud to finally say that the New Xbox Experience is here.
This has been an exciting journey for all of us. The next time you turn on your Xbox 360, the way you enjoy entertainment in your home will be changed forever. The New Xbox Experience will not only be easier to use from the very beginning, but it will give you new ways to connect with your friends and family and offer up more entertainment choices than any other device connected to the TV.
Our partnership with Netflix and our very own Xbox LIVE Marketplace allows us to bring you nearly 30,000 hi- and standard-definition movies and TV shows. Our back-end architecture allows us to connect you with up to seven friends – whether you want to play a game, or share photos. Our creative team made Avatars so you can express and represent yourself in the world of Xbox 360.
We think there is nothing like it, and we hope you agree.
When Xbox LIVE launched nearly six years ago to this day, we knew that we could innovate faster, make bigger bounds, and leap forward to the next generation. Today, we are excited that you are experiencing this leap forward with us.
So please, turn on your Xbox 360, and enjoy the New Xbox Experience.
See you on LIVE,
Marc Whitten, General Manager, Xbox LIVE at Microsoft
