Left 4 Dead NXE theme comes with free OXM issue photo

A hot new Left 4 Dead premium theme is available, and you can buy it from your local UK newsagent! It comes wrapped in this weird thing called Official Xbox Magazine Issue 49, but you can throw that away and to get your hands on the theme, which has been designed by Valve itself.

Not only does the theme look rather cool, it also casts an eerie green light on your friends list to make the Avatars of your chums look a little bit infected.  Definitely looks like one of the better theme out there, although so far we've not heard if this is coming to OXM's American counterpart. 

Anybody going to pick up a copy to get their clammy hands on its sweet themey innards?

I most definitely approve of this...

But isn't buying the magazine for it just as bad as paying MS for it?

Well, if you look past the giving Microsoft money bit, at least.

I got this a few days ago. It's pretty cool, there are also gamer pics with Bill and the rest in there.

I NEED THIS. Can someone who has it in the us tell me what is on the cover so I don't grab the wrong one?

I got my year subscription for 9.99, and this made it worth it (not to mention the other premium themes that have been coming with it lately). I also peruse the magazine sometimes when I'm feeling a little blocked up.

Silly, boy...if you own a X360, you are already M$s Biotch. Give Balmer his money and quite pretending you have a choice. BTW, I'm pretty sure OXM == M$ anyway.

Left 4 Dead 2 is on the cover. Beware though, kids steal the shit out of the disc in-store. I am really impressed with this theme, it effectively gives out a spooky atmosphere with all the lights turned off.

If anybody wants the disc, shoot me a message (email joecam at joecamnet dot com) and if you paypal me a few bucks to ship it over, it's yours. Beats $10 for the magazine, right? First come first serve.

The 2 COD: WAW zombie themes are pretty sweet too.

Oh man, I don't usually buy themes, but this one might just do it for me. And I'd rather just spent the $2.50 on the theme (or however much) than spend $5 on a magazine for a free theme.

Actually Dexter, unfortunately OXM is $10. These things are usually exclusives though, so I wouldn't count on being able to buy it from the dashboard. But hey, if you buy the mag, at least you'll have something to read in the can.
