Yeah, that's one thing that the Marketplace still seems to be lacking. Previews of themes and gamerpics.

Kotaku has a pic up of the free holiday theme. Seriously MS, why is this hard to add to your Marketplace website?

Anyone tried Meteos yet? Having played the DS version, which requires use of the sytlus, I'm curious to see how they translated the game for use with a controller.

I like how the theme changes your friends' list too. If they could get some animation in the background, like falling snow, that'd be even cooler.
Not like I'll pay for themes, but these new NXE ones are actually quite decent.

I thought there was a Meteos demo? I'm not going to buy something that handles like garbage since that's what the 360 pad does very well.

Trial Game - Free

That's what you are looking for. It uses the two thumbsticks. Not the d-pad.
