New Xbox Experience
New Xbox Experience (NXE) was launched on November 19, 2008. It includes avatars for Xbox 360 and some other new features such as copying your games to your hard drive.
My avatar above. You can show your own avatar on your website by using one of these URLs without the parenthesis characters around your Gamertag (only the first one works for me):
