Re: [Xbox] my thoughts on some MS rumors

I believe the gamercards will still exist the same as they always have.
However when logged on to the 360 itself it will favour avatars as its easier
to build a party, see your friends list at a glance in avatar form. From the
screenshots it appears to show your gamerpic above your avatar.

Microsoft claim that the current system will still exist but its on an Xbox
Guide page. So it seems the new system will be the primary dashboard with
the guide being still available, but its in its own section.
