Xbox Live snowglobe launched, NXE is now more twee than ever before photo

Major Nelson has revealed that an Xbox Live Snowglobe is now available in many regions. One of those regions is not yet Europe, as I cannot see the bloody thing on my account. Regardless, this snowglobe continues the New Xbox Experience's seemingly ultimate goal of making Live's more homophobic users feel gayer than they've ever felt before.

"When you launch the snow globe, it will automatically populate with your friends avatars," stated the silver-maned lover. "You can shake the globe with A or press X to stir in another random set of friends. You don’t have to download it, it will just appear in the Spotlight channel when you are connected to Xbox LIVE."

Just like the LIPS Holiday Music, this new feature is politically correct, with holiday messages representing a range of religions so that nobody feels butthurt. Hooray for non-denominational holiday cheer!

Wow. X box is going to keep doing this until the end of the 360. The new xbox experience is really annoying.

all 60 of my friends are not fitting into that globe I keep getting like the same 12 over and over. Not I think it will s til be faster than scrolling that lame ass 3d interface for like 15 minutes to get to the bottom of the list.

This is just a revision of old tech. My grandma has one of these things in her garage.

Luckily more than 60% of Germany are Christian and 32% don't belong to any religion. Therefore we don't have to deal with the pc crap.

So Merry Fucking Christmas to you
