Are there free themes on XBL?

Not flaming, just asking, because whenever I perused the Marketplace I would see themes for sale. Of course, that was back when I owned a 360 earlier this year in March, so I'm wondering if things have changed.

Bnet3436051d ago

Yes, there are free themes on Xbox Live.

GWAVE6051d ago

Okay. Thanks for the answer.

How do I get disagrees for asking a question though. :^P

likedamaster6051d ago

Yes there are free themes and gamerpics even game content. Epic games just gave us a new GEARS 2 "premium" theme for free to use now and when NXE arrives tomorrow.

rev206051d ago

Yes their are some free themes and other free stuff on xbox live its normally in the minority though.

elorm96051d ago

Dang... How much do you have to pay for those?

Bnet3436051d ago

Premium themes are usually 150 Points.

likedamaster6051d ago (Edited 6051d ago )

The NXE sucks. Microsoft sucks. You suck. LOL. Thought I'd take over for some fanboy before they post. heh. Actually, I'm looking forward to the new NXE. I have games to download, drive making too much noise right now.

...dang, i miss pp and his GEARS OF WAR 2 (GOTY 2008) TripleAAA CONFIRMED!!! comments. LOL

GWAVE6051d ago

The game installs are by and large the best feature of NXE. Being able to install your games for faster loads and less disc noise is always a nice thing.

lokiroo4206051d ago

Yeah its a really good thing for all the arcades sold.

New Xbox Experience delayed till 11/21...

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken169d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95169d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn169d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb169d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno168d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex168d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya868d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled868d ago (Edited 868d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney868d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled868d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist868d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin868d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled868d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE868d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi868d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE868d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
