Preview Xbox 360 Themes

Jan 2, 2007 at 2:39am in Media, On the Web

DashboardThemes.com

Have you ever been tempted to buy an Xbox 360 Dashboard theme but was unsure of what the theme would look like? Given The Marketplace’s lack of a preview and Xbox.com barely showing you how it looks, this is a common problem. I know on several occasions I’ve wanted to spruce up my interface, but didn’t want to waste 150 Marketplace points on something which looked like crap.

Thankfully, there is now a solution. Fellow 9ruler Matt Brett and Andrew McTeer have just launched DashboardThemes.com, a site devoted to Dashboard theme previews. Since DashboardThemes.com purchases and takes screen shots of themes for you, they eliminate the guesswork of theme previewing. They even allow users to comment on themes, giving you the full picture before you shell out the dough on an interface tweak.

    It’s a rather nice site. Matt and Andrew did good.

    Are you referring to the Apple Dashboard or some inferior Microsoft equivalent?

    The site previews the Xbox 360’s dashboard themes.

    Or, you could go to Microsoft’s official Xbox live site and preview all downloadable themes and picture packs from there.

    It seems that the site is down o_o. Any alternatives?

    Unfortunately, there are no alternatives out there.
