Xbox 360 is supposed to be an experiancethat the gamer makes for him/herself, we can customize the look of our consoles with skins and faceplates, and the same goes for our controllers.

We are now able to make our own gamerpics via Vision Cam

Yet we cannot make our own Dashboard Themes, if I were to download pics that I like onto my Xbox 360, the same pic would be used for each blade.

We would like to be able to puta different pic for each blade on our Dashboards therefore making our very own custom Dashboard Themes.

Please include this in the next update.

I have have asked this question in forums and got a good response from other gamers that feel the same way.

Post if you feel the same way.......

It would be too easy to steal themes this way.

MS won't do this because they would lose tons of money. why you may ask: Themes uploaded to the MP would't sell, causing that ppl would buy less microsoft points, causing MS to lose money

But then you could make your own, and sell them to other people. You would get some microsoft points, and microsoft would make a little money. I would love to customize the dashboard.

They could make some of that money back if they charged you MC points to download a program on your HD that let you make your own themes/blades. But yea, would really like to see something like this in the future. I for one dont pay for anything on the marketplace, so im only using the free ones, wich are on average pretty bad.

Neither do I, and I would love to be able to make my own. But there's no way Microsoft are going to give up a source of income. They're trying to make a profit this year remember!

I would love to make my own theme. But you'd still have that giant McDonald's and Halo 3 ad blocking your background. Grrrr....

Theres a very short article in the April '07 issue of Gamer Informer about personalizing your 360. Even though it doesnt say much about anything we dont already know, they have 2 pictures of a personalized dashboard with 2 different background photos.

Agreed. But what I hate the most is having a background is black, and the bottom is still white. I wanna be able to change that!

It would be cool, but I doubt they'll do it.
