Major Nelson just released info on a long over due re-haul of xbox.com the changes are to take place on Wednesday Oct. 20th at 5:00am ET.  Please note that at that time the forums will be taken down while they do the upgrades and will be back up once everything is complete. Personally i can’t wait as the current site is slow and clunky.  Check out the pictures below there is all kinds o goodies on there.

 

Here are some highlights:

Browser based Avatar editor: Edit your avatar and preview avatar items before purchase

Combined views for messages, friend and game requests

Improved notification of your account subscription

Leverage Family Reports to understand what your family is doing and how they are using LIVE

Play web games with your Xbox LIVE friends on the web or on Windows Phone 7

Marketplace: More powerful search and more intuitive ways to browse and filter
