Apart from deforming your avatar when the New Xbox Experience arrives , there will also be an online store. Microsoft believe you will buy from Microsoft simply because it is Microsoft, because they are charging $59.99 for a game but $6.99 for delivery! You might as well go to Amazon where you get free shipping?
The store will offer a wide selection of games and accessories, including offering the cutting edge Windows Vista for full retail price of $149 plus shipping. You wonder what bonehead decided that the online store should not to be competitive, but to charge extra. Yes, that will be popular as millions discover the New Xbox Experience, it will reinstate Microsoft's image that we look after our consumers.
Hopefully this will be a stepping stone to a future online store that will offer games to download, because I cannot see many people paying extra for shipping when they can get it free. Why can't they at least give some introductory offers for us to browse the store? Oh I get it, because you cut the price of consoles, you are going to make it up on fleecing anyone sucker who visits the store. You also probably have an agreement that you cannnot compete with retail stores. Then why bother with it? It is just another pointless feature along with the music clips, photo sharing, online prime time game show thingy and some little Bratz-wannabe feature called avatars.
