Show Notes

- You'll see an Xbox Live tile on the Start screen by default. This will automatically be synced with your Xbox live account if you've added an email address tied to an account.

- Tap on Xbox Live and you'll see the home screen with your avatar on it. Other screens include your requests and collections tabs.

- Under the collection tab, you'll see games that you've download and games that are suggested to you.

- Tap a suggested game to get more information on it, see ratings or buy it, just like you can with applications.

- It's important to note that game downloads are fairly large, so you'll want to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

- Xbox Live Extras is a free add-on that allows you to edit your avatar. This will change the avatar associated with your Xbox Live account.

- The spotlight section gives you news on upcoming games as well as links to blogs, game tips and more.
