Microsoft just confirmed that Avatars will come to the new Xbox 360 dashboard this autumn.
Live Party, up to eight friends chatting together, was also shown, as were Avatars being customised with clothing, and so on.

major Xbox LIVE Update is here. A full social networking feature, like facebook, but on your 360 has been announced at E3. A new dashboard, Mii-like avatar system, and many more features are all apart of the planned features.
You can change your Mii, I mean.. "Avatar"s clothes, look, style, and basically (as I've stated): it's a Nintendo Mii for the 360. They are bit more detailed then Nintendo's coutnerpart, but not nearly as much as Sony's avatars. The new dashboard looks absolutely shocking. It's completely different, and more similar to the PS3 and Wii then anything Xbox 360. It's less complicated, it's simplified, and it's much more suited for the casual gamer.
