see what everybody's playing - sexily
Xbox Live Friends is a tool for keeping a vigilant eye on what all of your friends are doing. Are they killing someone in Gears of War? Are they experiencing the sights and sounds of Liberty City in GTA IV? And most importantly, how many points do they have?
friends
The cornerstone of the creatively-named Xbox Live Friends application is your friends list. See what your friends are doing in a clean, intuitive interface. You can easily add and remove friends, accept or reject friend requests, and even personalize your list by adding real names for your friends, so that you never have to wonder who "xX MaryJane420LOL Xx" is again. You can even use their Address Book photo if you want.

gamer info
You're probably like us: you're here for the points. And if you're like us, you've found that it can be irritating to have to page around Xbox.com (which — someone has to say it — isn't the most pleasant experience) to find out what achievements your friends have been unlocking. And when you want to check out a screenshot one of your buddies has just taken oh Halo 3 you end up with more windows open than a stinkbombed greenhouse.*
Fortunately for you, we've taken all that information and arranged it into a single window that offers the most per-pixel achievement information you're likely to get.
Also, rest assured, as more games are released with online statistics and information, we'll add them (if possible).
* Sorry.
messaging
The message center in Xbox Live Friends is hands-down the easiest way to send messages via Xbox Live. Faster than going to Xbox.com, and certainly faster than trying to type anything on the console, sending messages is a snap.
