XBL Avatars Getting Kinect Redesign

With Kinect looming in the holiday season horizon, Microsoft is integrating the motion control device as widely across its Xbox 360 platform as possible. That know includes, according to a comment made to Official Xbox Magazine UK by Rare, a re-design of the basic models of the Dashboard avatars. The changes have been made in order to aid hand-eye coordination when using the device, and to that end have muted the bodily proportions to a more human ratio. No release window has been announce on the changes, but given Kinect’s November release date, expect your Avatar to enter the new sub-generation around Halloween.
