You should do the same ... at least until July 18th.

Free, fresh and fun Ford Sync downloads
These were released earlier last week, but we just came across them on the XBLM and they're so darn nifty that we figured we'd share. Available as free downloads to our U.S. Live friends are a set of two Ford Sync Youth picture packs and a Ford Sync Youth theme. Normally, we don't get excited for Ford Sync content which has already produced green, orange and pink Marketplace downloads, but these gamer pictures are teh awesome. If you enjoy what you see above, give the gamer pics a download and enjoy a ten-fold increase in your gamercard's overall appeal.
Be an April fool with free April Fools' gamer pics
If you let your guard down and actually fell for Microsoft's Xbox Live April Fools' trickery, you should first know that you're hella' gullible. Which isn't a bad thing, it'll just lead to a lot of letdowns in life. The second thing you should know is that Microsoft posted a set of free (and presumably limited) April Fools' gamer pictures on the XBLM as an apology gift for their trickery. Now you can sport your 360 wireless helmet, Vintage Xbox or Recon Xbox pride. Just stay away from the scary clown gamer picture ... it looks possessed.
Download free Drillbit Taylor and Hitman goodies
If you're like us, we need a fresh coat of new gamer picture paint ever once and a while. You know, to keep things fresh and lively. But our only requirement is that all gamer pictures we grab from the XBLM must be free. Call us old fashioned, but that's how we roll. So, we're happy to share with you that two new sets of movie themed gamer pictures (and dashboard themes) are available to U.S. Xbox Live members for free.Right now on the XBLM, you can grab a free Hitman the movie gamer picture pack and theme as well as a free gamer picture and theme from Owen Wilson's comedy Drillbit Taylor. Like we said, all four sets of downloadable goodness are free and are (surprisingly) quite well done. Especially the Drillbit Taylor pack. You'll have to download to see, but for some reason those gamer pictures make us crack up.
Free Stallone Rambo downloads on the XBLM
To help advertise the brand new Rambo movie and to put a few extra dollars in Stallone's pocket (which he'll spend on Botox injections anyway), Lions Gate just released a free Rambo theme and gamer picture set to the XBLM. Which, as with all US movie content, we expect to be only available to US Xbox Live subscribers.The free Rambo theme is mediocre with different backgrounds for each blade, but absolutely no attention was paid to skinning the guide. And that makes us sad. But the gamer pictures are rather nifty, but only if one enjoys Rambo's face. A noticeably less Botulinum'ized face. Grab the free downloads if you can and support the Rambo movie which will be in theaters January 25th. That is if you want to. If not, we won't tell.
Free Air Force, Missed Call and Sarah Connor XBLM downloads
It has been a long, long while since we've told you about free XBLM theme and gamer picture downloads and we're a little disappointed in ourselves. It's inexcusable and, for our lack of free download notification, we apologize. But today is a new day and a time to re-invent ourselves, so we figured we'd point you towards new and free XBLM downloads. That is if you're in the US. Newly available and free for download is some Air Force content (theme and gamer pictures), One Missed Call content (theme and gamer pictures) and The Sarah Connor Chronicles content too. Enjoy your free goodies US Live members and we promise to keep you better informed about free stuff. This time we'll slap our own wrists.
FREE Xbox Originals themes and gamer pictures
If you know anything about us here at X3F, then you've already accepted the fact that we love our free Marketplace content. It's one of the rare things in life that can instantly brighten our day. And today we've got our fair share of free XBLM content with the release of a hand full of themes and gamer picture sets from the new Xbox Originals games. Available to all Xbox Live subscribers is a free theme and gamer picture pack for each Xbox Original game including Crash Bandicoot, Crimson Skies, Fable, Fuzion Frenzy, Halo, Indigo Prophecy and Psychonauts. That's a total of seven free themes and picture packs. And surprise, surprise, they're all actually pretty decent. Especially the free Halo picture pack, because we're suckers for a good Grunt gamer pic.
Second community picture pack features All Games
In their second attempt at promoting world peace among the gaming community, the Gamerscore Blog just released its second community gamer pictures set featuring All Games Interactive.This AGI set of fifteen community gamer pictures includes website favorites like Evil Avatar, XBL Radio, All Games Radio and much more. And just like the first community picture pack, these little puppies are grouped together as a free download and can be found in the new releases section of the Marketplace. Also, just like the first community picture pack, X3F isn't on the list. But don't worry fanboys, we're wearing down the Gamerscore Blog crew with our insistent emails, daily phone calls and constant text messaging tactics aimed at getting an X3F gamer pic in one of these sets. We have a feeling lucky number three will show results.
Free Live Earth downloads make Earth happy
Live Earth, that hugely huge worldwide concert series aimed at raising cash for global warming, is offering up a few free downloads on the Marketplace today. Available for free is a set of five Live Earth/SOS gamer pictures and a less than exciting theme featuring an interesting dot-line background guide. These free downloads are available to all Xbox Live regions, so support Earth and download away! For more information on this whole Live Earth thing, head on over to MSN's Live Earth page to get all the details.
Free Bom Chicka Wah Wah gamer pics
AXE is up to their male-centric marketing antics again offering a free theme and a few gamer pictures of those Bom Chicka Wah Wah girls. Not familiar? Well, the Bom Chicka Wah Wahs are a musical group of scantily glad women who sing the Bom Chicka Wah Wah song to market AXE (Lynx for our European friends). Actually, it's kind of hard to explain. What we can do is show you our favorite AXE Bom Chicka Wah Wah commercial kindly embedded after the break. Yeah ... kinda interesting isn't it?And now that we think about it, it's kind of odd that a theme like this could be approved for download when a theme like the Queenz got canned for being too mature. Maybe a multimillion dollar company backing the content has something to do with it.
T-Mobile giving out the free goods
Today, we have a few new (and free) gamer pictures and a theme up for download off the Xbox Live Marketplace. Cell phone provider T-Mobile has graciously put up a very pink dashboard theme and a few Sidekick gamer pictures. So, for all of you who are proud owners of Sidekicks or are in love with T-Mobile, now you can show off your cell phone pride. Because you know if Paris Hilton had an Xbox Live account, she'd be all over these gamer pictures. And who doesn't want to be like Paris Hilton?
360 Queenz theme too mature for Marketplace
It looks like Microsoft put their foot down and stopped the sexually charged 360 Queenz theme and gamer pictures from making it to the XBLM. Deacon, the guy who posted the exclusive 360 Queenz preview, updated the Unscripted 360 community saying that "Microsoft isn't going to release it for whatever reason. too provocative? please. if this is too provocative then i'm at a loss for words". So, it's looking like those painted 360 girls won't be coming to an XBLM near you, because Microsoft thinks the whole thing reeks of bad taste. But look on the bright side, you are now free to spend those 150 Microsoft points that you were saving up. What's your opinion on this? Do you think those 360 Queenz were a little too sexy for the Marketplace or did Microsoft overreact just a bit? Vent away fanboys ...[Thanks, AoE]
Where's that gamer picture from?
While cruising through your friends list on Xbox.com have you ever wondered where some of those gamer pictures come from? Well, we have, and thanks to Major Nelson's input and the tech guys who run Xbox.com they implemented a cool little feature. Now, if you hover your cursor over any gamer picture it'll give you a little more information to what game or picture pack it comes from. This feature is now fully supported by numerous browsers including IE, Firefox, and Opera. Just look for the alt tag to expand with the text or check your status bar for the gamer picture information. True, it's nothing huge, but is one of those nifty little feature that's cool to have and know about. Thanks Xbox.com team, you guys (and gals) are number one in our book.
GRAW 2's 72-Hour Weekend picture pack
Kicking off GRAW 2's 72-Hour Weekend the Xbox Live powers that be have unleashed a free gamer picture pack to the XBLM. This GRAW 2 picture pack is only available to United States and Canadian residents, but so is the 72-Hour Weekend ... so it kind of makes sense. We just downloaded the gamer pictures and found three stylized blue and white characters with the fourth picture stating "GRAW Has A Posse". Now we can finally put a name to the loyal GRAW 2 fanboys ... a posse. Jump online this weekend for a chance to win a few prizes and have a whole lot of fun with your posse. Word?
