If something seems a little different when you log into your Xbox 360 today -- it is! The New Xbox Experience launches today with new navigation system, new design, Netflix connectivity and Xbox Live Avatars. Much like the Nintendo Wii's Miis, these cartoon representatives help deliver a more personalized presence on Xbox Live.

Four GameDaily staffers joined an Avatar party early this morning, but after discovering that none of us had images or videos to share or games to play together, we disbanded.

If we weren't rushed to get into work on time, we would have discovered that our Avatar party can follow each other from game to game. So the four of us should be able to play a round of Horde in Gears of War 2 then hop into Left 4 Dead multiplayer with ease.

Avatars will also be incorporated into games, the first being A Kingdom for Keflings,a city-building simulation game. KoK rolls out on Xbox Live today, and can be downloaded for 800 points (or $10).

So, if you haven't already -- head online to download the New Xbox Experience update and then customize your Avatar. Then show it off to your pals by filling in your Xbox Live name in this link: http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatarmyxboxlivename/avatar-body.png. (See mine on the right, which is pretty dead-on if I do say so myself).
