		<description>Jen, they do animate, although at the minute they aren’t used anywhere apart from on the My Xbox page and on the dashboard friends list.

WindowsObserver, that would seem like a good option, however because no one else on my friends list has avatars yet there doesn’t appear to be any way to tell as they all show up as silhouettes.

Los Havros, I’m not sure it’s that big a move to be honest. The redesign is fairly radical in its differences but it’s a nice improvement. Avatars have little use at the minute and I think their success is going to be based largely on the games that incorporate them.

Rockers Delight, they aren’t brilliant, but like I’ve said they’re barely used at the minute. The only places I’ve seen them are on the dashboard and to be honest I don’t spend that much time looking at it. The types of games that do try to incorporate them don’t seem likely to be the type of game that I’d be interested in.</description>

		<description>I have to admit that this is a bold move for Microsoft, and one that could potentially be a major boost for them.  Hopefully it will strike the right balance to appeal to both new and existing gamers.</description>
