To become a MVP, you need to have contributed about something MS related, be it Xbox, MS software etc at online discussions, magazines, blogs etc. You have to be really active at such places to be considered. If you are and some one nominates you, you get an email from them asking you to elaborate on your contribution. If they think you are capable enough, then you get to be an MVP.

One of the things that has bugged most gamers (well, the anal ones (me included)) has been that demos used to leave nasty 0 point totals on your card, however, that's been remedied now, but it unfortunately wasn't retroactive.

 

Thanks to an article by CVG, it was revealed that now you will have the ability to delete not only the old 0 point demos, but any game that you have 0 points on. It states:

 

"The My Xbox tab lets you manage your Avatar and profile settings - basically all of the options you find on the current Xbox Guide. Your played games and their achievements are also neatly displayed on the horizontal scroll with a new bonus feature; you can now delete played games you don't want displayed from your list, as long as you have 0 Gamescore on them."

 

Happy days? Happy days indeed. At least I can say bye to that ghastly 0 from the Gauntlet demo from way back in December 05 ... It's been keeping me awake for going on 3 years now!

How fluid is it?

Do the load times drastically reduce with newer games (Mass Effect, Fable 2 to be precise)?

Yes. There is quite an improvement with disc installs. Haven't tried Fable 2 but Mass Effect shows definite improvements.

Plus no disc drive whirring sounds :P.

But only two games can fit on the current 20GB HDD. That too if you don't have any downloaded content :(. Will need to get

bigger hard drives soon. Generally a game install to disk takes 5-10 mins to complete.

What H3lios said...

 

and Do Avatars rock or are they just for kids?

I definitely liked them. In fact all of the beta participants I know have liked them, yet to find one who didn't like them. Mostly complaints are related to type of clothing available etc.
